A community prayer companion·iPhone

So no one misses the jama’ah.

The’Salat shows the real iqamah times set by your masjid’s own committee, in one calm, beautiful place. It calculates nothing.

One prayer. Every masjid. At a glance.

The current prayer across every masjid around you, side by side, so you can pick the jama’ah you can actually make.

  • Committee-set iqamah front and centre, never an estimate
  • Distance and real driving time to each masjid
  • Sort by nearest, or by the jama’ah coming soonest, which is the one you want when you are running late
  • Search by masjid name or by address
  • Travelling? Masjids near you appear even before we have their times
Nearby masjids compared for the same prayer, with iqamah times, distance and drive time, and a control to sort by nearest or by earliest jama'ah

Adhan & Iqamah, side by side.

Open any masjid for its whole day: every adhan, every iqamah, exactly as that masjid publishes them.

  • All five prayers with both adhan and iqamah
  • On Fridays the Jumu’ah your masjid actually holds replaces Dhuhr everywhere, and a masjid with two khutbahs shows both
  • Directions in one tap, to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. It remembers which you prefer and stops asking
  • Set any masjid as your home masjid in one tap

The next jama’ah, on your home screen.

Add the widget and the next iqamah is simply there, without opening anything. It turns over through the day on its own, and wears the sky of the prayer you are waiting for.

  • Small: the next prayer, and the time its jama’ah is called
  • Medium: your masjid, the adhan, the iqamah, when to leave, and a Directions button
  • Leave by is worked out from the drive time last measured to your masjid, so it follows the road you actually take
  • Between Isha and Fajr it wears a dawn sky. That is deliberate: it pictures the prayer you are waiting for, not the sky outside the window

A gentle teacher, built in.

Turn any prayer card over and The’Salat becomes a quiet lesson. Made for a child learning to pray, and a beautiful reminder for you, on the way to the masjid.

The back of a prayer card: the rak'ah breakdown for Maghrib, and the sunnah of the day with its hadith reference
Rak’ah breakdown that follows the madhab you choose, a new sunnah every day with its source, short du’as and the Durood, simply explained.

Every prayer gets its own reminder.

Not one generic alarm for everything. Each of the five prayers has its own notification, tuned to how your day actually flows around it.

  • Per prayer, pick a style: off, silent banner, vibration, or sound
  • Per prayer, pick the timing: at the jama’ah, or 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes before, and you can stack more than one
  • Take 15 and 10 minute nudges for Maghrib, keep Isha to a silent banner, switch Dhuhr off while you are at work
  • Time to leave: one more reminder that works out when to set off, from the drive time last measured to your masjid
  • Reminders are built only from times a masjid published, so you are never called to a time nobody prays

How the times stay right.

A masjid moves its iqamah with the season, and it rarely announces that twice. Keeping up with it, for every masjid, is most of the work in this app, and it happens whether or not anyone notices.

Read again every week

Every masjid’s schedule is read again each week from whatever that masjid publishes. When a committee moves a time, the app follows, without waiting for anyone to report it.

Checked against the sun

Before a schedule goes live it is checked against the position of the sun at that masjid’s own coordinates. A time that could not be right for that place on that day is held back for a person to look at, rather than shown to you.

The check never invents

That check only ever catches times that are wrong. It never fills a gap, and it never decides an iqamah, because only a masjid can do that.

A gap is left as a gap

Where a masjid has not published its times, the app says so plainly and offers to pass yours on. An estimate in that space would send someone to an empty hall.

The community has the last word

If a time is wrong, or your masjid is missing, you can send the whole schedule from inside the app in a few taps: every prayer, adhan and iqamah, and Jumu’ah.

Which reaches the rest

Those corrections are what keep the directory honest, and they reach the masjids no automated reading can follow.

Make it yours.

The full set: Default, Frosted Arctic, Rose Quartz, Emerald Dusk, Ivory & Slate, Sapphire Night, Obsidian & Gold, Midnight Teal, and Navy & Antique Gold. Each one is drawn for light and for dark, and will follow whatever your phone is already doing.

The time your masjid actually follows.

Reaching the jama’ah used to take three apps. First, work out which masjid is actually near you. Then dig through its website for the exact iqamah timings. Then open Maps to work out how to get there. The’Salat takes the times straight from each masjid and brings all of it into one place: the masjids around you, the timings they truly follow, and the way there.

Other prayer apps

  • General calculated timings for your city, the same for everyone
  • No idea when your masjid actually holds the jama’ah, so the times may not help you reach it
  • One generic alarm for every prayer
  • Friday is Dhuhr under a different name
  • Finding the masjid and getting there is still your problem

The’Salat

  • The timings your masjid follows: adhan, iqamah, and Jumu’ah, set by the masjid itself
  • Compare every masjid nearby and pick the jama’ah you can make
  • Per-prayer reminders, and one more that tells you when to set off
  • Friday is Friday: your masjid’s Jumu’ah replaces Dhuhr on the card, in the list, on the widget and in the reminders
  • Distance, drive time and directions, so you arrive before the iqamah

The’Salat is free forever, with no ads and no tracking, built by the community as a sadaqah jariyah صَدَقَة جَارِيَة and, in time, open-sourced back to it. The story behind that promise lives in our privacy policy. If The’Salat helps you reach the jama’ah, remember its makers in your prayers.

Every detail considered.

We’re all ears

The’Salat is shaped by the people who pray with it. Want a feature? Tell us in Settings → Help & support → Contact us, and it joins the community’s wishlist.

You spot it, we fix it

See a wrong iqamah? Report it in two taps, or send the masjid’s whole schedule at once. The community keeps the times honest.

Your maps app, not ours

Send any masjid to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. The’Salat remembers which you prefer, and stops asking.

Your radius

Decide how far “nearby” means, from 5 to 50 miles. Your home masjid always shows, however far you have travelled from it.

Your madhab

The rak’ah counts and the sunnah shown on the card follow the madhab you choose, so a child learns the prayer their family actually offers.

Hijri, always

The Islamic date sits at the top of every day, alongside a warm as-salāmu ʿalaykum.

Light, dark, or neither

Follow your phone, or pin the app to light or dark on its own. Whichever you choose, all nine themes are drawn for both.

Nothing to hide

No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your location is used to find masjids near you and to work out how long the drive takes. It is never used to calculate a prayer time, and it is never stored on a server.

Good to know.

Is The’Salat really free?

Yes, free forever. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no accounts. It is built as a sadaqah jariyah for the community.

Why the apostrophe in the name?

It is not decoration. “The Salat” and “TheSalat” were both already taken in App Store search, so the name carries one mark in order to be found. On your home screen the app simply reads TheSalat.

How are the prayer times verified?

Every masjid’s schedule is read again each week from whatever that masjid publishes, and checked against the position of the sun at that masjid’s own coordinates before it goes live. A time that could not be right for that place on that day is held back for a person to look at. Nothing is ever calculated in place of an iqamah, and if a time still looks off, one tap in the app sends us a correction.

My masjid isn’t listed. Can I add it?

Absolutely. When a masjid near you does not have times yet, it still appears in the app, and a single tap lets you send its whole schedule: every prayer, adhan and iqamah, and Jumu’ah. We add it, in shā’ Allāh.

Do you track my location or my prayers?

Never. Your location is used on your device to find nearby masjids, and is shared only with Apple Maps to estimate drive time. Nothing about you or your worship is stored or profiled. The app works even if you decline location, though the widget needs it before it can tell you when to leave.

Which devices are supported?

The’Salat is exclusively for iPhone, built natively for iOS, with a home screen widget in two sizes for the next jama’ah. An iPhone-first experience means it stays fast, light, and at home on your device.

Bring your community’s times to The’Salat.

If you help run a masjid, you can make sure your jama’ah times reach every worshipper who opens The’Salat nearby. Send your whole schedule, or a single correction, in seconds. No account needed, and we’ll keep it live for your congregation.
