Muslim Prayers Times
Every daily worship tool a Muslim needs — in one focused Android app.
Muslim Prayers Times is a native Android app built in Java that brings prayer times, Qibla direction, Quran, duas, Tasbeeh, Zakat, and smart notifications into a single, well-organized experience. Instead of juggling five different apps, users get one place that respects their daily routine.
One app for the entire daily worship routine
Muslim Prayers Times is a native Android application designed around a simple truth: most Muslim users rely on a separate app for every single part of their daily worship routine — one for prayer times, another for the Quran, another for Qibla, another for Zakat. I set out to collapse that fragmented experience into one focused, well-designed Android product built natively in Java, so users could open a single app and get everything they actually need.
Daily worship shouldn't need five different apps
Muslim users are forced to install and switch between multiple single-purpose apps just to complete their daily worship routine. Prayer timings live in one app, Qibla direction in another, Quran in a third, duas and Tasbeeh somewhere else, and Zakat calculation usually lives on a website. Every context switch adds friction, drains battery, clutters the home screen, and makes an already personal routine feel scattered. The real pain point is not features — it's fragmentation.
- Users juggle 4–5 separate apps for one daily routine
- Prayer timing, Qibla, and Quran rarely live in one place
- Zakat calculation usually means leaving the phone for a website
- Fragmented apps drain battery and clutter the home screen
One focused Android app for the entire routine
I built a single, focused Android app that brings the entire daily worship routine under one roof. Prayer times are automatically calculated from the user's location, Qibla points with a live compass, the Quran is available with a clean reader, duas are organized by category, Tasbeeh counts tap by tap, Zakat is calculated with a simple form, and prayer notifications fire on time — all with multilingual support, so the app feels native to the user regardless of their background.
Everything a user actually opens, in one place
- Accurate daily prayer times based on the user's real-time location
- Qibla finder with a live compass for precise direction anywhere in the world
- Quran section with a clean, distraction-free reading experience
- Categorized dua library so users can quickly find the right supplication
- Digital Tasbeeh counter with persistent count across sessions
- Built-in Zakat calculator that removes the usual guesswork
- Smart prayer notifications that respect the user's schedule
- Multi-language support for a genuinely global audience
From a real daily pain point to a shipped product
- 01
Understanding the real pain
Started by mapping the daily routine of a typical Muslim user and noticed the same pattern everywhere: 4–5 separate apps for one unified routine. The product idea wrote itself — consolidate, don't reinvent.
- 02
Scoping the feature set
Picked only the features people actually open daily: prayer times, Qibla, Quran, duas, Tasbeeh, Zakat, and notifications. Everything else was deliberately left out to keep the experience focused and fast.
- 03
Designing the navigation
Designed a home screen that surfaces the next prayer and one-tap access to every core feature, so the app feels instantly useful the moment it opens.
- 04
Android implementation
Built the app natively in Java using modern Android components — ViewBinding for safer UI code, Volley for lightweight networking, Glide and Picasso for fast image loading, and Google Location Services for accurate prayer time calculations.
- 05
Localization & notifications
Added multi-language support and wired up prayer notifications so users get reminded exactly when they need to be — without intrusive, battery-draining background work.
- 06
Testing across real devices
Tested prayer time accuracy across different time zones and locations, verified Qibla bearings against known references, and polished the UI across multiple Android versions and screen sizes.
A clean, native Android stack built for reliability
Muslim Prayers Times is built natively on Android using a focused, modern stack chosen for performance, maintainability, and a clean user experience.
The decisions that shaped the product
Keeping one app from feeling bloated
Combining seven features into a single app is the easy part — keeping it from feeling like a cluttered Swiss Army knife is the hard part. I designed the home screen around the one thing users open the app for most (the next prayer time) and tucked everything else behind clear, predictable navigation.
Calculating accurate prayer times anywhere
Prayer times depend on the user's exact location, time zone, and calculation method. I used Google Location Services to get a reliable coordinate and paired it with well-tested calculation logic so the app works accurately whether the user is at home or traveling.
Building a usable Qibla compass
A Qibla finder is only useful if users trust it. I handled device orientation and sensor noise carefully so the compass feels stable and responsive instead of jittery — a small detail that makes a huge difference in perceived quality.
Multilingual without regressions
Added multi-language support early so layouts were designed from day one to handle different text lengths and scripts — avoiding the usual last-minute UI breakage that comes from bolting i18n on at the end.
Why this project matters
Muslim Prayers Times is a clear example of turning real user friction into a focused mobile product. It shows I can identify a genuine pain point, decide what not to build, design a clean navigation flow, and ship a polished native Android app that respects its users' routine. For a client, it demonstrates exactly what I bring to a project: product thinking, UX judgment, and native Android engineering — delivered as one complete experience.
