Prayer times computed on your device — your location never leaves it. The full Quran, offline. End-to-end encrypted chat and calls with just a username. No ads, no trackers. Ever.
Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play
Prayer times, right now, right here
Example times for Makkah
Computed on your device — this page never saw your location. Open DevTools and check: no request leaves this site.
Messages and calls run on the Matrix protocol. The keys live on your devices — not even Al Ahillah can read a word.
How Matrix E2EE worksThe client is open code. You don’t have to take our word for any of this — audit the pledge yourself.
Read the codeNo phone number. No email. Your account is a name you choose — we cannot leak what we never had.
The Amanah PledgeQuran, prayer times, Qibla, and adhkar are computed and stored on your phone. Airplane mode changes nothing.
See what’s on-devicePrayer times, Qibla, and the hijri calendar are computed on your phone. Your location never leaves it — there is nothing for us to log, sell, or lose.
Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted on the Matrix protocol. The keys stay on your devices. Even Al Ahillah’s own servers see only ciphertext.
Your account is a username. No phone number, no email, no contact-book upload. Data that is never collected can never be demanded — by anyone.
In 2020, journalists revealed that a widely used Muslim prayer app had sold users’ location data to brokers whose clients included U.S. military contractors (the reporting is public). We are not here to judge anyone’s choices. We built Al Ahillah so that nothing like it is possible here — not as a policy, but as architecture.
Four tabs, forever: Today, Quran, Chats, More. No feed. No ads. Nothing designed to keep you scrolling.
Alarm-grade delivery, tested against the most aggressive battery killers. If your phone silenced the app hours ago, the adhan still fires — and a built-in self-test proves it before Fajr does.
Uthmani script from Tanzil, open translations, search, and khatmah tracking — all bundled with the app, all on your device. Try it in airplane mode.
An astrolabe-ring compass with haptic guidance — find the direction with your eyes closed.
A mosque directory kept alive by imams and congregations, not a scraped database — with walk-time reminders like “leave by 12:37”.
End-to-end encrypted chats and calls that pause politely for the adhan. Sukoon mode quiets the noise around prayer.
Dua and adhkar collections, and a full-screen tasbih built for one hand.
Verified scholars answer your questions — anonymously if you prefer. Browse the public answers library without an account.
Nothing here is a black box. Every calculation is named, every source is cited, and the app follows your community — not the other way around.
The same open astronomical algorithms in the app and on this page — pick the authority your mosque follows.
Asr on your madhhab: standard (Shafiʿi, Maliki, Hanbali) or Hanafi.
Quran text from Tanzil (Uthmani, unmodified, attribution preserved) via the open quran-json dataset, with open-license translations. The exact sources ship in the app’s licenses screen.
Every scholar on Al Ahillah applies with their real name, credentials, and institution, and is approved through moderation. Answers are signed. You always know who said what.
On moonsighting, Al Ahillah is a timekeeper, not an arbiter: the app follows your community’s announcements.
﴿يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡأَهِلَّةِۖ قُلۡ هِيَ مَوَٰقِيتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَٱلۡحَجِّ﴾
“They ask you about the crescent moons. Say: they are timekeepers for mankind and for the pilgrimage.”
Every privacy claim on this page reduces to this table. It is short because the first column is short.
By the community it serves: a waqf-style endowment model and optional supporter perks — sadaqah jariyah, not a subscription wall. What is free stays free, worship is never gated, and revenue never comes from attention or data.
Read the full security modelAmanah (أمانة) means the trust — something placed in your care that you must return whole. When you tell an app where you pray, when you wake for Fajr, and what you ask a scholar at 2 a.m., that is an amanah. We watched the apps our families used treat it as inventory instead, and we decided the ummah deserves software that cannot betray it — not software that merely promises not to. Every line of Al Ahillah is written against a nine-point pledge, in the open, where you can check it.
Worship is not ad inventory. There will never be an ad in Al Ahillah.
No analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no fingerprinting.
Never sold, shared, brokered, or “partnered” — under any name.
Prayer times, Qibla, and the hijri calendar are computed on-device. Coordinates are never transmitted.
Your account is a username. We cannot leak what we never had.
Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Push notifications carry an opaque ID, never content.
Scholar Q&A tickets are readable by the service so they can be routed and answered — the app says so on the ask screen, and you can ask anonymously.
A waqf/donation model with optional supporter perks. Revenue never comes from attention or data.
The client is open source. Anyone can audit that this pledge is enforced in code.
Through the community: a waqf-style endowment and optional supporter perks. Nothing essential is ever paywalled, and revenue never comes from attention or data. If that model ever changed, the pledge — and the open code — would show it immediately.
Because we don’t need one, and because every identifier a service stores is something it can leak, sell, or be forced to hand over. Your account is a username plus a recovery key that only you hold. Data that is never collected can never be demanded.
Yes. The Quran, prayer times, Qibla, adhkar, and your private tracker are computed and stored on your phone. Only community features — chat, mosque directory, scholar Q&A — need a connection, because they are conversations with other people.
Fourteen named methods — including Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi, ISNA, Moonsighting Committee, Diyanet, and Kemenag — plus Hanafi and standard Asr. If your mosque follows a specific authority, pick it and the app matches. You can also follow your mosque’s own announced iqamah times.
From Tanzil’s Uthmani text — a reference digital mushaf project — carried unmodified through the open quran-json dataset, with the license and attribution shipped inside the app. The build pipeline is open source, so the provenance is checkable end to end.
Your username, questions you choose to send to scholars (stated up-front, anonymous option included), and mosque edits you submit. Not your location, not your messages, not your reading, not your contacts, not a phone number. The transparency table above is the complete list.
The directory is seeded from OpenStreetMap and filled in by communities: imams and mosque admins can claim their mosque and publish iqamah times, with moderation to keep them honest. If your mosque isn’t there yet, adding it takes a minute — that’s the point.
Al Ahillah is in the final stretch before launch on iOS and Android. Leave your email with one tap — it goes to a mailbox, not a marketing platform — or watch the repository on GitHub, and you’ll know the day it ships.
Al Ahillah is coming soon to iOS and Android.
