Where does the Quran text come from?

From trusted APIs based on the Tanzil Uthmani text, cached locally for speed with no modification to the text.

Why do prayer times differ between apps?

Because authorities use different dawn and dusk angles, the Asr calculation differs between the majority and the Hanafi view, and elevation and timezone handling vary.

Do you edit translations?

No. The chosen translation is shown as published and attributed to its authors without editorial changes.

How can I verify a figure or reference?

Each entry on this page names its source explicitly, and you can write to us for detail or a correction.

Our verification methodology

Trust in an Islamic platform rests on two things: clarity about sources, and clarity about a tool's limits. This page covers the first; the disclaimer covers the second.

Rules we work by

No text without a source: every verse, hadith and remembrance is attributed. Anything without a sound chain is not published.
No figure without a reference: thresholds, bearings, prayer times and metal prices each have a declared source or algorithm.
Differences stated: on contested questions such as zakat on jewellery or the Hanafi Asr time, we present the positions rather than choose silently.
Dated updates: sensitive pages carry a publication date and a last updated date.

Limits of automated calculation

Prayer times use fixed astronomical formulas, but the angles chosen for dawn and dusk differ between authorities, which shifts results by minutes. Likewise lunar month starts follow local sighting rather than calculation. We show these differences plainly, because understanding the cause is more useful than one absolute number.

Corrections

Send corrections through the contact page. Errors in Quranic text or hadith attribution are handled immediately, and any substantive change is documented on the page concerned.
