  1. Tarek, thanks for the link. I’ll try it out. The challenge I face is knowing the direction of prayer when I travel. If there was an app for that, it would be the most helpful. Thanks.

  2. Hi Moushumi,

    I have reviewed apple store and there is approved web app http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/isalawat.html I’m not sure how accurate it is and I always recommend using such prayer time app as reminder and not as sole resource.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts over here and I will let you know once anyone would do it or done it.

    Cheers,

    Tarek

  3. Cool app. My wish list though? Prayer time and Qiblah direction as mobile app. It will be so extremely convenient for people who travel a significant amount. Thanks.
