About
Athan (also spelled Adhan) by IslamicFinder is one of the world's most comprehensive and trusted Islamic apps, used by over 55 million believers globally. Designed to support every aspect of a Muslim's daily spiritual life, the app delivers accurate, location-based prayer times five times a day, ensuring you never miss Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha. Beyond prayer times, Athan offers a full-featured Qibla finder to help users determine the direction of Mecca from anywhere in the world. The built-in Al Quran reader comes with translations and transliteration, making it accessible for both native Arabic speakers and new learners. Users can also access a library of daily duas (supplications) and dhikr (remembrance), categorized for ease of use. The app includes an Islamic Calendar, a Ramadan calendar with Sehr-o-Iftar timetables, a Hajj and Umrah guide, and a Zakat calculator — covering virtually every Islamic observance. A prayer progress tracker helps users build and sustain a consistent prayer habit over time. Highly rated (4.8+ stars) across major app stores, Athan is ideal for Muslims of all backgrounds — whether at home, traveling, or living as a minority in non-Muslim-majority countries. The app is completely free to download and is available on iOS and Android.
