(Showcase)Faith, built with care
Al-Islam
A family of Islamic apps for the whole Apple ecosystem: an all-in-one companion, a beginner-friendly Quran, and precise prayer times. Two of them earned national recognition.
The Engineswhat the apps are built on
The data layers underneath. Both exist because the alternative was hand-marking a text that runs to six thousand verses, or scraping someone else’s HTML.
وَيَمۡكُرُونَ وَيَمۡكُرُ ٱللَّهُ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَٰكِرِينَ
“But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.”
Holy Quran · Al-Anfal 8:30

Rather than describe what Al-Adhan and Al-Islam do, here they are doing it. The prayer times below are computed in your browser from the sun’s position for the coordinates shown; there is no API behind this and nothing about your location leaves the page. The qiblah is the true great-circle bearing to the Kaʿbah from the same point, which is why it does not simply point east.
Tajwīdالتجويد
The rules that govern how the Qurʾān is pronounced, shown the way Al-Quran shows them: as colour on the letters themselves. My Quran Tajweed Engine derives this for all 6,236 verses from the rules rather than from a marked-up text; below is Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ, four verses of it, marked by hand so each colour can be explained. Pick a single rule to find just that one in the line.
