One companion for the whole day of worship
Iqamah began with a simple question: when is the jama'ah at my masjid? It has grown into a full companion for daily worship, and a set of free tools that let any masjid put its times in front of its community, wherever they look.
In this guide
The Iqamah app · iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android
Prayer and iqamah times
Open the app and the day is in front of you: which prayer you are in, how long is left, and when your masjid will pray each salah together.
Your day, on a ring
Home is the medallion. Its ring is the whole day: midnight at the foot, noon at the top, the solid arc showing how much of the day has passed. Each dot is a prayer. The heart names the prayer you are in, in Arabic and in your language, and counts down to the end of its time.
Azaan and iqamah, side by side
- Below the medallion, today's table shows the azaan and iqamah time for every salah, with sunrise between Fajr and Dhuhr.
- One switch chooses between the azaan times your masjid publishes and the times calculated for where you are.
- Iqamah times come straight from the masjid, shown exactly as they publish them.
- Jumu'ah lists every session your masjid holds, with the khateeb and the hall.
- The Hijri date and your location sit at the top of the screen.
12 calculation methods
ISNA, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Karachi, Egypt, Diyanet, MUIS, JAKIM and more, with Shafi'i or Hanafi Asr.
Your own adjustments
Nudge any prayer by a few minutes, and set custom Fajr and Isha angles where your community follows its own.
Pinned shortcuts
Up to four favourites from Discover sit under the prayer table: Quran, Qibla, Halaqah, Tasbih or whatever you open most.
The adhan, on time
Each prayer can alert you in one of four ways: off, silent, a chime, or the adhan itself. A reminder can come up to an hour before, so you have time to make wudu and get to the masjid.
- Tap an adhan alert to hear the full adhan, not just a clip.
- Choose the voice from four muezzins, including Mustafa Özcan Güneşdoğdu and Mishary Alafasy.
- Fajr gets its own adhan, with ٱلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّوْمِ, "prayer is better than sleep".
- Every choice is per prayer, in Settings › Prayer & Alerts.
Qibla
The compass wears the same ornament as the medallion. Hold the phone flat and turn until the needle sits at the top: the bearing beneath it is the direction to the Kaaba from where you stand, and the distance to it is shown too.
- Works offline once your location is known.
- Also on the map, and on iPhone as a Home Screen and Lock Screen widget.
Masajid
Masajid, near and far
More than 8,800 masajid around the world, each with its address, contact details and, where the masjid publishes them, its iqamah and Jumu'ah times.
The map, anywhere in the world
The Explore tab is a map of masajid. Look anywhere, your own street, another city or the other side of the world, and the masajid there appear the moment the map stops moving. To stay readable it shows twenty at a time; zoom in and more appear.
- Swipe the cards along the bottom to move between masajid, each with its next prayer and distance.
- Show only masajid with iqamah times, your favourites or your Home masjid.
- A satellite view, and a small compass in the corner that opens the Qibla.
Find the next jama'ah
- Nearby masajid lists the masajid around you with their iqamah times. Sort by distance, or by the next iqamah to find the soonest jama'ah.
- Search by name or in another city, and widen the search from nearby to worldwide.
- Open a masjid for any day's timetable, its address, website and phone number, and directions in the maps app you prefer. Swipe sideways to the next masjid.
- Star the masajid you pray at, and set the one you go to most as Home. Its times then lead the Home screen.
Quran
The Quran, to read and to memorise
A study Quran and a printed Mushaf in one place, with recitation that keeps playing when you lock your phone.
Read and study
- Read verse by verse with more than a hundred translations in 47 languages, and 13 tafsirs alongside.
- Colour-coded tajweed on the Arabic, if you want it, and juz, hizb and ruku markers.
- Browse by surah or by juz. Press and hold a verse to bookmark it.
The Mushaf
Switch to the Mushaf for all 604 pages of the 15-line Madani Mushaf, page for page as printed, in the King Fahd Complex's Hafs typesetting. It is on your phone, so it reads offline.
Listen, even with the screen locked
Five reciters can recite any surah aloud. Recitation carries on when your phone locks, with play, pause and skip on the Lock Screen and in notifications.
Memorise (hifz)
The memorisation player repeats one ayah, or a range of them, as many times as you set, so you can learn a passage by heart.
Hadith and dhikr
Hadith, in Arabic and your language
Five collections. Nawawi's Forty, the Forty Hadith Qudsi and Riyad as-Salihin are ready to read. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim download in any of eight languages: English, Urdu, French, Bengali, Indonesian, Russian, Tamil and Turkish.
- Each hadith shows the Arabic with its translation, and its grading where one is given.
- Read a chapter through, swiping sideways from one hadith to the next.
- A hadith of the day comes with the Daily Reflection.
Tasbih, adhkar and your own wird
- 83 adhkar in 19 categories: morning and evening, after salah, before sleep, Ramadan and more, each with its Arabic and meaning.
- A tasbih counter that keeps count for you.
- Add your own adhkar, and build a wird to follow step by step.
An ayah and a hadith, every day
Each day brings an ayah and a hadith to reflect on: on Home, as a widget, on the Apple Watch and on Iqamah TV. Listen to the ayah, open its surah, or share both with family and friends.
Discover
Halal places, Halaqah and more
Discover is the app's index: everything Iqamah offers, one tap away. Press and hold any of it to pin it to Home.
Certified halal, near you
More than 1,000 restaurants, butchers and grocers, listed only when a recognised authority certifies them: HFSAA and HMS in the United States, HMA in Canada and HMC in the United Kingdom. Never unverified, crowd-sourced listings.
- Filter by category, cuisine, distance, rating, price and opening hours.
- Call, open the website or get directions in one tap, and save your favourites.
- Choose which certifiers you trust, and a minimum rating, in Settings.
Learn with the Halaqah
Study sessions from the Iqamah team: tafsir series such as the six-part walk-through of Surah Hud, and thematic sessions on the Quran's language and structure, each with its slides, notes and recordings. They are also on the web at iqamah.org/resources.
CalendarThe Hijri calendar
The Islamic calendar side by side with the Gregorian one, with the month's events and Ramadan and Eid, and a correction of a day or two to match your local moon sighting.
Display mode
A display for the desk
Turn your phone or tablet sideways on Home and it becomes a prayer display: the medallion, today's times, your masjid's board, an ayah and a hadith, one at a time. Tap the lock to keep it, and the screen stays on with the full adhan at every prayer. It is a good use for an old tablet on a shelf at home or at the masjid entrance.
The adhan's words
As the adhan plays, the display shows each phrase as it is called, in Arabic with its meaning in your language. Afterwards it shows the dua said after the adhan.
A display that recites
Tap Recite to choose a surah, the Ruqyah or the Manzil, and a reciter. Or schedule it: at a set time, or around a prayer, fifteen minutes before Maghrib, say.
Runs on its own
Scheduled recitation runs while the display is locked and pauses for the adhan. Open it from Home, from Discover, or from Settings as Display Mode.

Is a time wrong? Tell us.
Masajid change their iqamah times, and they don't always tell us. If a time or a detail looks wrong, report it from the masjid's page or from Settings › Report an Issue. If your masjid is missing, use Add a Masjid. Our reply arrives as a notification and waits for you in Settings › Messages.

Community
Find us on Facebook
Follow facebook.com/IqamahApp for new features, new masajid and new Halaqah sessions, and to share Iqamah with your masjid. Sessions and walk-throughs are also on YouTube at @iqamah-admin.
Questions, ideas or a time that needs fixing: write to us from Settings › Messages in the app, or at admin@iqamah.org.
Our promise
Iqamah is free to use, and free for every masjid. There are no paid tiers and no ads, not on masjid websites, not on the prayer-times widget, not on Iqamah TV, and not in anything to do with prayer times and masajid in the app.
Where we are going
Built for a million masajid
Today Iqamah carries more than 8,800 masajid. It is built to carry every masjid in the world: a million masajid, each with its own free website, its times in the app, on the watch and on the TV in its hall, and its community a tap away. It is built to grow that far and still cost a masjid nothing, so that no masjid is too small to be found and none is asked to pay.
If you run a masjid, the best way to help is to make its free website and keep its times current. If you pray at one, tell the people who run it.
