About Islamobile

Where the content comes from, how prayer times and Qibla are calculated, and how to report an error.

Islamobile is built by a small technical team, not a religious authority. Our job is to bring together sources that are already recognised and widely used — the Quranic text, hadith collections, collections of supplications — into a well-made app, and to calculate rigorously what can be calculated (prayer times, Qibla, calendar). Where a topic is subject to legitimate differences between schools or conventions, we don’t decide for you: we let you choose, and we flag clearly when a date is still provisional.

The Quran

All 114 surahs, in Arabic, with French and English translation, transliteration and downloadable audio recitation. The verse-by-verse commentary draws on the Al-Mukhtasar tafsir, and each surah’s introduction on the Tafhim al-Qur’an.

Hadith

Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, the 40 hadiths of Imam An-Nawawi, Riyad as-Salihin, Al-Muwatta and Hadith Qudsi — collections among the most recognised and widely circulated, chosen for their long-established authenticity status (sahih).

Supplications (duas) and the Sirah

Daily supplications come from the Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim), the classic collection compiled by Sheikh Sa’id bin Ali bin Wahf Al-Qahtani — the Arabic text is reproduced as is, and our French and English translations are checked against already-published reference translations. The Sirah offers the biography of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Prayer times and Qibla

Prayer times and the Qibla direction are calculated with the Adhan library, directly on your device or in your browser — your location is never sent to a server. Several calculation conventions are offered (France 12°/15°, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura…): we recommend using the one followed by your mosque rather than a single default value, since conventions legitimately differ from one region to another.

Provisional dates, never definitive

The start of Ramadan, Eid, or the Day of Arafah ultimately depend on the sighting of the crescent moon or an official announcement. The dates we publish ahead of time (up to several years out) are astronomical estimates, always presented as such — never as a certainty.

Found an error?

If you spot an inaccuracy — in a text, a translation, a calculation — tell us directly from the app (Settings → Contact): it’s the fastest way to get it fixed. See also our support page.
