Sakina: Prayer & Quran

Calm, free and private: prayer times, Qibla, the Quran and the hadith on iPhone and Apple Watch. No ads, no accounts, no tracking and no purchases, for good.

Sakina means tranquility. It is a calm, free and private prayer app for Muslims, on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Free for good. Sakina has no ads and no purchases, and it never will. There are no accounts and no tracking: no analytics and no third-party SDKs. Your location is used on your iPhone to work out prayer times and the Qibla, and is never sent to the developer. Only Apple Maps receives it, to name your city; you can also choose a city by hand.

PRAYER TIMES Times for where you are or any city you choose, with 12 calculation methods (one is picked for your country), early or late Asr, a high-latitude rule and minute adjustments. Today shows the next prayer with a countdown, the Hijri date and a sky that follows the time of day. Get a notification for each prayer, with an optional reminder before it, and choose the athan as the prayer sound: three announcers, as the opening takbir, a short athan or the full athan.

CALENDAR AND RAMADAN The Hijri calendar, moon phases and the next crescent, a Ramadan page, Ramadan widgets and a Live Activity that counts down to suhoor and iftar.

THE QURAN The Arabic text with 28 translations in English, Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, French and Spanish, English transliteration, and footnotes where a translation has them. Search, save ayahs, get a daily ayah with a reminder, and listen to recitation by seven reciters. Share an ayah as an image or video on 21 backgrounds.

THE HADITH 2,328 hadith from HadeethEnc in Arabic and English, browsed by topic, with An-Nawawi's 40 Hadith, a filter by collector, search and saved hadith.

QIBLA A compass that points to the Qibla, with a calibration hint, a haptic when you face it and the distance to Makkah.

PRAYER TRACKER Log each prayer as on time, late or missed, see your history and streaks, track missed fasts until you make them up, and pause when you need to.

WIDGETS AND APPLE WATCH Home and lock screen widgets for the next prayer, all the times, a countdown and your streak. The Apple Watch app works out prayer times on your wrist, points to the Qibla, lets you mark prayers, and has complications.

ICLOUD If you are signed in to iCloud, your tracker, saved ayahs and saved hadith sync between your devices through your own private iCloud storage.

Prayer times, the Qibla, the Quran text, 27 of the 28 translations and the hadith work without a connection. The Abdel Haleem translation is downloaded when you choose it, and recitation is streamed.
