مواقيت فلسطين - Accurate prayer times & alerts

The prayer times application is designed to deliver accurate prayer schedules for Jerusalem and its surroundings, following the precise chronological calendar established by the Ministry of Endowments in Palestine.

This application provides prayer timings with full precision, ensuring there are no delays or advancements—functioning similarly to a mosque timer.

It does not use estimated calculations for determining prayer times; instead, it relies on a reliable database. This allows for seamless notifications that coincide perfectly with the call to prayer, eliminating the need for you to double-check the prayer times against your local mosque's schedule in Palestine.

Features of the application include:

*- Accurate prayer times without any delay or advance (like those found in mosque timers)

*- Notifications during prayer times

*- Qibla direction provided via compass

*- Qibla direction available on a map

*- Alerts before prayer times

*- Fajr prayer alarm

*- Inspirational sayings

*- Calculation of the last third of the night for those interested in checking answer times

Compatible with Wear OS

Jerusalem Prayer Times Review: Unmatched Accuracy That Feels Like Home

What struck me most deeply wasn’t just the notifications—it was the profound sense of reliability. Having struggled with prayer apps that miscalculated Maghrib by even a few minutes in Palestine, this app felt like a spiritual revelation. During my Ramadan in East Jerusalem, I finally stopped cross-checking the masjid loudspeakers: when the notification chimed for Asr, I’d glance out the window to see neighbors already unrolling their prayer mats synchronously. The peace of mind was tangible.

Beyond mere timing, subtle details transformed my routine:

The Qibla compass dynamically adjusted indoors (tested inside Jerusalem’s stone-walled homes) with startling precision—no more guessing against landmarks.

Pre-Fajr vibrations gently woke me for Tahajjud without jarring alarms, while the "Last Third of Night" tracker became my secret weapon for heartfelt duas.

Wear OS integration meant discreet wrist taps during work meetings reminded me to slip away quietly.

For Palestinians, the Ministry of Endowments’ database isn’t just data—it’s community trust. Seeing the exact timing logic used in Al-Aqsa’s adhan reflected in my phone fostered a connection beyond technology. When winter fog delayed Isha elsewhere, this app held firm to the local rhythm. Even sayings between prayers—drawn from Palestinian scholars—felt like digital dhikr beads. Not an app, but a faithful companion honoring Jerusalem’s sacred heartbeat.

FAQ

Q: How does it differ from global prayer apps like Muslim Pro?

A: Unlike algorithms estimating Jerusalem's timing, this uses the Palestinian Endowment Ministry’s verified annual timetable. Zero deviations—perfect sync with actual mosque calls. Essential for fiqh precision in Palestine.

Q: Will alerts still work without internet?

A: Yes! Once downloaded, yearly timings are stored locally. Qibla direction (compass/map) and alarms function offline.

Q: Does the Fajr alarm override silent mode?

A: Customizable. Default is loud adhan, but “Gentle Wake” mode uses soft vibrations/lights if preferred (avoids disturbing others).

Q: How accurate is the Qibla map indoors?

A: Combines device sensors with Jerusalem’s specific geodata. Tested in Old City’s dense buildings—within 1-2° accuracy even in stone rooms.

Q: Can I add custom prayer reminders (e.g., Dhikr after Salah)?

A: Currently no, but pre-prayer notifications (configurable 5-30min before each Salah) + recurring Fajr alarms fill this gap practically.
