Get the direction to Mecca (Qiblah) based on your current position, as well as prayer times (Salat).


Features:

- Programmable call to prayer (Azan)
- Switch between English and Arabic
- Get bearing + distance to Mecca + local time
- Choose your rugs design and color scheme.


Notes:

- There is a compass option in the app, but it requires a device with a magnetometer sensor. If your device does not have a compass, then you will need to know where the North is, at your current location.

- If the compass is available, you simply need to align the north direction given by the compass to the "N" symbol on the dial.

- As in a real prayer rug, Mecca direction is always toward the top ( main axis ) of the carpet, once north orientation is calibrated.

- If your device doesnt have a GPS or if the GPS is disabled, the app will attempt to use coarse location ( wifi based ), if available, but this can take a minute or two to estimate your geographic position. If that doesnt work, then you have the option of manually entering your geographic coordinates ( latitude & longitude ), via the advanced options menu.
