Religion is often the glue that joins
communities, nations and vast landmasses together in one psychological cosmos.
And it is religion only and the faith in divine that keeps hope alive and
drives creativity and innovation. So it is no surprise that mobile technology
that touches so many lives is now being used to adhere to prayer timings and
understand the holy book of Quran.
People are so hard pressed for time, that
they do not have the time to read holy books in solitude and therefore they
desire digital solutions that can help them read small snippets of Quran on the
go while commuting and perform daily prayers according to the Islamic Salat namely
Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Isha, Maghrib and earn the respect of their friends, parents,
colleagues, spouse and children for addressing to the call of Allah and staying
blessed. Prayer has the power to give you the strength to come out strongly
with all guns blazing in a depressed economy and it is through prayer and hard
work that you can beat any kind of recession.
This
unique “Prayer Time and Qibla Pro”
application being offered on Google Play is quite light-weight, easy to install
and can be downloaded under any kind of network condition. It will help you adhere
to the five tenets of Islam: Shahadah, Salah, Zakat, Fasting, and Hajj. If you are interested in knowing the 99 names
of Allah for conjuring up the name of a newborn, then this application offers the
entire list.
Bright, colourful and easily accessible
through a touch screen interface, this application prompts users to turn on the
GPS navigation functionality being offered in the smartphone or tablet and find
the nearest places of worship. Mosque Finder functionality is expected to receive a positive response from
working professionals in the Muslim world. So is the Hijri calendar and the
date converter functionality that offers the exact reciprocal of a date in the
English Gregorian calendar to its counterpart in the Hijri calendar.
The Qibla Compass functionality is another
great tool that helps devotees find their co-ordinates viz-a-viz the Medina and
offer prayers in the correct direction. It is customary in Islam to offer namaz
in the direction of the median, the holy shrine of Muslims all across the
globe.
More prayer functionalities are offered in
the form of a Tasbeeh counter wherein short utterances glorifying the Allah are
read out and the counting is done using the phalanges of the fingers or through
a necklace but now you can do it electronically through a tasbeeh counter.
The
Quran and Hadith are the two basic elements of any country that follows the
Dar-ul-Islam (land of Islam) philosophy and its citizens follow the 40 Hadith
that is basically a collection of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad with accounts
of his daily rituals. There is a lot to learn from the 40 Hadith and devout
Islam followers vouch for the timeliness of his teachings.
Lastly, don’t forget to use the ringtone
functionality for setting alarms during prayer time and will prove to be really
beneficial!
