Prayer times & azan
Prayer times and the azan
Ja‘fari prayer times for your city, calculated to the minute — and in the Android app, the azan at the time of Fajr, Zuhr, Asr and Maghrib (Maghrib’s azan also serves Isha), even when the phone is locked.
Awaiting review: the Pakistan (Fiqh-e-Jafariya) settings were matched to published Pakistani timetables and still need confirmation by a qualified scholar or the Shia timetable of your city.

The azan on your phone
In the free Android app the azan sounds at prayer time, even when the phone is locked. The notification shows the prayer and its time, with a Close button that stops the azan.
The azan recording has not been put on the website yet.
If you pray Zuhr and Asr together, turn Asr off: Zuhr’s azan then serves both.
The azan plays at the phone’s alarm volume. Close it from the notification, or with the Stop button here.
On some phones (Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, Realme) also allow the app to start automatically and exclude it from battery saving, or the azan may come late.

How the times are calculated
- The times are calculated from the position of the sun for your place and date (the method published by praytimes.org), so no internet connection is needed.
- Pakistan (Fiqh-e-Jafariya): Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, the dawn angle of Pakistani timetables; Maghrib when it is 4.5° below the horizon — about 17 to 18 minutes after sunset in Pakistan, which matches the Fiqh-e-Jafariya iftar times printed in Pakistani Ramazan timetables; Isha at 14°.
- Leva Institute, Qum: Fajr 16°, Maghrib 4°, Isha 14°. University of Tehran (Institute of Geophysics): Fajr 17.7°, Maghrib 4.5°, Isha 14°.
- Zuhr is at true noon (zawal). Asr begins when the shadow of an object equals its length added to its noon shadow. Midnight, the end of Isha’s time, is halfway between sunset and Fajr.
- Start times are rounded up to the next minute, so the azan is never early. A calculated time can differ by a minute or two from a local timetable: compare with your mosque and adjust the minutes if needed. In matters of fiqh, follow your marja‘.
Your location is used only on your device, to calculate the times. It is not sent anywhere.
