Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time

Analysis by Reviewed APKs

Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time brings prayer schedules, the Quran, a Qibla compass, and a Hijri calendar into one Android app. I see it suiting someone who wants a practical daily reference rather than a separate app for each task. Its breadth is appealing, though the tradeoff is that it covers many different needs in one place instead of focusing deeply on just one.

A Day Around Prayer Times

When I first opened Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time, I pictured using it as a quick check before the day gets busy: look up the next Salah, then return later to see the Hijri date or open a Quran recitation. Prayer times can be set for your location and calculation method, with Athan reminders for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. That makes the app most useful when I want several everyday references close together.

A weekend plan might involve checking a religious event on the Hijri calendar, finding a nearby mosque on the map, and using the Qibla compass somewhere unfamiliar. During Ramadan, the listed Sehri and Iftar times add another practical reason to open it. I like that these are distinct jobs rather than variations on one screen; the app can act as a small reference kit throughout a normal day.

One App, Several Jobs

Compared with installing separate tools for prayer schedules, Quran reading, date conversion, and Qibla direction, this app takes the all-in-one route. That can be convenient when I want to move from a prayer reminder to a translation or a Dua without changing apps. It also includes more occasional resources, such as a Hajj and Umrah guide, a Tasbih counter, and greeting cards for Eid and Ramadan.

The flip side is that a broad collection is not the same as a dedicated specialist. Someone who wants only a prayer timetable may find the extra tools unnecessary, while someone seeking a focused Quran-only experience may prefer an app built around reading. I would treat this as a general Islamic reference and worship companion, not a substitute for personal religious guidance or a deep study resource.

Small Habits That Help

I would start by choosing the prayer calculation method I follow and setting the location-based prayer times, then decide whether Athan reminders fit my routine. Getting those basics in place makes the app more useful than browsing its many sections at random. If I travel or spend time in a new area, the Qibla compass and mosque finder are the features I would keep in mind for a quick practical check.

For a steady routine, I might check the Hijri date alongside the Gregorian date in the morning, read or listen to a short Quran passage, and use the Tasbih counter when keeping track of Dhikr matters to me. The daily Hadith and quotes offer another light-touch reason to open the app. These habits work best when I choose a few features I will actually use rather than trying to explore everything at once.

Who May Find It Useful

I would recommend Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time to Muslims who want prayer times, Athan, Quran content, Qibla direction, and Hijri dates gathered in one Android app. It may also suit households or travelers who occasionally need a mosque finder, Ramadan timings, or a date converter. Eight supported languages, including English, Arabic, Urdu, and Bahasa Indonesia, give the app a wider potential audience.

It may not suit someone who wants a very narrow tool with no extras, or who prefers to keep each religious resource in a separate app. The number of included sections could take a little browsing to sort through. I would also encourage anyone relying on prayer schedules to set the calculation method they use and check that the resulting times match their expectations.

Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time is a Lifestyle app from ImranQureshi.com. Google Play shows over 1 million installs and a 4.7-star rating from about 49,000 ratings. It is free to download, contains ads, and offers in-app purchases. The listed price range for individual in-app products is $0.99 to $299.99, so purchases are optional but can vary considerably.

The app has an Everyone content rating. Its listed version is 5.19, with a release date of February 20, 2013, and a last update date of August 8, 2026. Google Play does not provide an Android minimum version in the supplied app details, so check the store’s compatibility information for your device before installing.

A Closer Look at the Daily Toolkit

First Open and Setup

My first impression is of an app with a lot to offer before I have even settled into a routine. The headline combination is clear enough—prayer times, Athan, Quran, Qibla, and Hijri dates—but the extra tools broaden the experience quickly. I would approach it with one immediate need in mind, such as setting prayer reminders, rather than expecting to learn every section in a single sitting.

The key practical setup is choosing a location-based prayer schedule and the calculation method I follow. Athan options let me choose a voice for reminders. Those choices matter more than browsing the optional extras at first, because they shape the part of the app I am most likely to return to each day. I would take a moment to check the displayed prayer times against my usual reference.

The Everyday Experience

The daily appeal is the range of quick-reference tasks. I can check Salah times and the Hijri date, then open the Quran or a Dua when I have a spare moment. The app includes the Quran in Arabic with 40 translations and audio recitations in Arabic, English, and Urdu. That combination gives me options for reading and listening without making every visit feel like the same kind of session.

I also like that the app extends beyond the core daily checks. A Qibla compass helps when I am away from familiar surroundings, while the mosque finder is there when I need to locate a nearby mosque. These are occasional rather than constant-use features for me, but their presence makes the app more useful as a travel companion than a simple prayer-time display.

More Than the Basics

Several additions make this feel like a broader collection of Islamic resources. The Hijri calendar includes religious events and moon phases, and a converter lets me check dates. The app also has a collection of Duas, the 99 Names of Allah with audio, daily Hadith and quotes, and a step-by-step Hajj or Umrah guide. I would not use all of these every day, but they give the app multiple reasons to stay installed.

There are also features aimed at particular occasions or routines: Ramadan fasting times and a full Ramadan calendar, greeting cards for Eid and Ramadan, a digital Tasbih counter, and a Zakat calculator. The description also includes Makkah live and a quote maker. I appreciate the variety, while recognizing that a long feature list works best when I can find the sections I care about quickly.

A Routine That Sticks

A realistic way I would use the app is to make a short morning check: review the next prayer time, glance at the Hijri date, and read the daily Hadith or quote. Later, if I have time, I could listen to a Quran recitation or open a translation. This keeps the app connected to things I already do instead of turning it into another place to browse aimlessly.

For Ramadan, the workflow can shift toward checking Sehri and Iftar times and referring to the Ramadan calendar. On a trip, I would look for a nearby mosque or use the Qibla compass. The home-screen widgets may also help bring some information closer at hand, while the app says extra themes can be unlocked with Pro. I would begin with the features I need and add others only when they are useful.

Limits to Keep in Mind

The main compromise is breadth. A single app covering prayer schedules, reading, date tools, worship references, and occasional utilities can save app switching, but the many sections may feel like clutter to someone who wants one simple function. I would not judge it by how many tools it includes; I would judge it by whether the few I rely on are easy to return to.

Ads are present, and optional in-app purchases range widely in listed price. The app is free to download, but that does not mean every extra is included at no cost. Prayer times also depend on the location and calculation method selected, so I would check those settings rather than assuming the first schedule shown will suit my practice. These are manageable caveats, but worth knowing before making it a daily reference.

Islamic Calendar & Prayer Time makes a convincing case as a broad everyday companion. Its strongest appeal is having prayer times, Quran resources, the Hijri calendar, and Qibla direction alongside more occasional tools such as Ramadan timings and a mosque finder. I would especially value it when I want one place to check several parts of a daily or seasonal routine.

I recommend giving it a try if that range matches how you use your phone, while taking time to set the prayer method and explore only the sections you need. If you want a stripped-down single-purpose app, the variety may be more than you want. Ads and optional purchases are also part of the experience.
