Common questions
During which hours should we pray?
We recommend saying prayers during the auspicious Jamal and Kamal hours, which are shown as green rows in the app and table.
Are red hours considered evil hours?
Red planets indicate Jalal. Instead of calling Jalal hours evil, it is more accurate to describe them as generally challenging hours.
For that reason, the app recommends green hours (Jamal and Kamal) for prayer and spiritual practice.
Are these colors used consistently across the app?
Yes. The same color mapping is used throughout the app so users can quickly recognize the difference between Jamal, Kamal, and Jalal hours.
What should I do if my district or location is missing?
Choose the nearest listed location, then compare the adhan time difference between your location and the selected place.
That same difference also applies to planetary hours, and nearby places typically enter the same hour only a few minutes apart.
