Getting started
Use the six tabs at the bottom of the app: Home, Qur’an, Prayer, News, Donate and More. Home brings together the mosque’s current announcement, today’s prayer timetable, weather when enabled, upcoming activities and daily reflections.
The daily cards can include a hadith, ayah, recitation, dua or quote when published. Tap a card to open its related page when one is available. Use the settings gear to personalise the app.
Prayer times, Athan and Qibla
Read the timetable
Open Prayer for today’s Athan and Iqamah times, Sunrise and the next seven days. Jumu’ah information appears on Fridays when published. If enabled, Duha (Ishraq) shows when its prayer window begins.
Choose which Asr time to use
In App Settings → Prayer, choose the earlier Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali calculation or the later Hanafi calculation. You can choose which Asr time appears in the timetable and select the time used for Asr notifications. A change to the calculation method also updates the default notification choice; the app shows a confirmation.
Set prayer reminders
In App Settings → Notification Preferences, turn on the prayers you want. Choose a standard reminder or an Athan notification. Allow notification permission on your phone. Athan audio does not start automatically; open its prompt and tap Listen to Athan. The prompt closes after its short prayer-time window.
In App Settings → Athan, choose and preview a reciter or download a recording for offline playback. The dua after Athan is included in the app.
Find the Qibla
Open More → Qibla Finder, allow location and compass access when requested, then hold your phone flat and turn towards the arrow. Keep it away from metal and electronics. If the heading seems wrong, open the in-app calibration tips.
Add a prayer widget
Use your phone’s Home-screen widget picker to add a Gungahlin Masjid prayer widget. Choose an Athan-and-Iqamah or Iqamah-focused layout. Open the app periodically to refresh its saved timetable; iOS and Android control when widgets refresh in the background.
Read and listen to the Holy Qur’an
Read, search and save your place
Open the Qur’an tab to browse surahs and ayahs. Search by surah, Arabic text, translated text or topic. The Qur’an text and core search data are available offline. Save favourite surahs or bookmarked ayahs, and use Continue from here on an ayah to mark where you want to resume.
Choose a reading view
In App Settings → The Holy Quran, choose a verse list or printed-page reading view, Uthmani or IndoPak script where supported, text size and available translations. Tajweed colours can be enabled where the device supports them.
The text is already offline. The Uthmani Mushaf printed-page view needs a separate download of related assets for full offline use. If saved pages do not display correctly, delete those assets in the same settings section and download them again.
Listen to recitations
Open More → Qur’an Recitations or follow a recording link from the reader. Choose a reciter, play a recording, save favourites and make playlists. Available recordings can be downloaded for offline listening. Playback controls include seeking and repeat options.
The Qur’an reader’s sources and licences are linked from App Settings → The Holy Quran.
Dua Library and A Day in Sunnah
Find a dua for the moment
Open More → Dua Library. Browse categories, use All to search across duas, or open Favourite and Playlists. A dua can belong to several categories. In its details, read the Arabic, transliteration, translation and published explanation; play audio when available.
Tap the heart to add or remove a favourite. Dua playlists let you keep recordings together and listen in your chosen order. You can share or copy a dua from its details, including a flyer card when one is supplied.
Dua content and category images come from the mosque’s published library, so new items may appear after a refresh.
Build a daily Sunnah routine
Open More → A Day in Sunnah. Use Explore to find activities, My Lists to build a routine, and Today to tick off what you have completed. Open an activity to read its linked duas and guidance when available; some activities have more than one dua.
Your lists and completions are saved on this device. You can enable local progress history in Sunnah settings to view trends.
News, events and the mosque community
Stay informed
The News tab has All, Weekly and Interested views. Read announcements, news and event details, browse weekly programmes, and tap the heart on an event to keep it in Interested. Interested events also appear in My Space.
Share a news item or event from its detail page. A Share Flyer Card option appears only when a flyer is supplied for that item.
Explore and support
The Donate tab leads to current ways of giving. More opens mosque projects, services, the Qur’an school, CMC Youth Hub and mosque information. You can change the order of the More shortcuts with Edit order.
My Space
Your daily check-in
Open More → My Space to mark prayers, fasting, Qur’an recitation, hadith and dua for today. See your saved favourites, playlists, Sunnah routine and interested events. My progress shows your recorded activity over time.
Your check-ins, favourites, playlists and routines are saved on this device. They do not automatically sync to a different phone.
App Settings
Tap the settings gear or open More → App Settings. Select a category to see its controls. Settings panels opened from a feature also include an All app settings shortcut. Most changes save automatically on this device.
Start with the categories below to tailor prayer reminders, reading, weather and your daily practice. You can return to the same setting whenever you want to change it.
Notification Preferences
For each prayer, Notify sends a reminder. Athan adds a play option when you open it; the audio never starts by itself. Dua can play after the Athan you start. Turning on Dua also turns on Athan and Notify.
If Duha (Ishraq) is shown in Prayer settings, you can enable its reminder here. It has no Athan or post-Athan dua option. You can also choose whether the post-Athan dua text opens expanded.
Prayer
Choose the earlier Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali or later Hanafi Asr calculation. Choose whether the timetable shows both times or only the time allowed by your selected method. Select the Asr reminder time separately; it follows your calculation method by default, and the app confirms a notification-time change.
Under Optional prayer, show or hide Duha (Ishraq). The app explains how its start time is calculated; its reminder is switched on separately in Notification Preferences.
Athan
Choose a reciter for the Athan prompt. Tap play to preview a recording, Download to keep it for offline playback, or Delete to remove a downloaded copy. Reload List refreshes the available reciters.
The dua after Athan has its own preview and is included in the app for offline use. Athan playback still starts only after you tap the play option in its prompt.
Weather
Turn the Home weather card on or off and choose animated or static weather icons. The settings page includes a sample card and explains its temperature, rain, wind and refresh indicators.
Weather uses the fixed Gungahlin Mosque area, not your phone’s location. The data is cached and normally refreshes about once an hour; use the refresh control on Home when you want to check again.
Fasting
Show Ramadan fasting displays the Ramadan card on Home when the mosque timetable marks a Ramadan day. Show voluntary fasting times displays Suhur and Iftaar outside Ramadan. The voluntary card is hidden during Ramadan.
These are timetable times: Suhur ends one minute before Fajr Athan and Iftaar begins at Maghrib Athan. Check the Islamic date and reliable guidance before fasting; the setting does not decide which days are suitable.
My Space
Show or hide Today’s check-in and its fasting, Qur’an, Hadith and dua tick boxes. You can also show or hide the Qur’an, Hadith and dua streaks shown in My Space and My progress.
Hiding a check-in item or streak does not erase earlier records saved on this device.
The Holy Quran
Choose a verse-by-verse list, Uthmani Mushaf printed pages or continuous page reading view. For list and continuous views, choose Uthmani or IndoPak Arabic script. Turn available offline translations on or off for the verse list, adjust Arabic text size, enable Tajweed colours where supported and choose whether your selected Continue reading ayah appears on Qur’an Home.
Qur’an text is already offline. To use the Uthmani Mushaf printed-page view offline, download its separate related assets. The page count shows download progress. If saved pages are not displaying correctly, delete the assets and download them again.
Topics includes search-data information and updates. Sources & licences opens the mosque website’s current source information.
Dua
Choose the Arabic font and text size used across dua screens. Show or hide transliteration and English translation, preview the Arabic font, and choose the card theme used when reading a dua.
Sunnah Progress
Enable Daily progress history to save completed Sunnah activities on this device and see trends, streaks and 40-day progress. Turning history off asks for confirmation and clears its saved history. Choose a Daily reset time; changes to that time apply from the next daily cycle.
Reset settings
Reset notifications clears reminder choices. Reset all settings restores app preferences to their defaults. Both actions ask for confirmation; saved favourites, playlists and routines remain on this device.
Privacy & User Data
Open the linked privacy page to read how the app handles information. Preferences, favourites and personal progress are saved locally on this device; there is no automatic account sync to another phone.
Help and feedback
Help using the app opens this guide. Application Feedback opens the mosque’s feedback form for a problem, suggestion or compliment.

If the app has been useful, open its App Store or Google Play review page from this section. The available store button depends on your device.
Quick answers
Why did the Athan not play automatically?
The app asks you to start playback. Tap Listen to Athan in the prompt. Check that Athan is enabled for that prayer and that your phone allows notifications.
Why did a prayer reminder not arrive?
Check Notification Preferences, your phone’s notification permission and, on some Android phones, exact-alarm access. Open the app while online so it can refresh the timetable and schedule reminders.
What if the app cannot connect?
Close the connection message if you want to stay on the current screen. When your internet connection returns, use its retry option or reopen Home to load the latest mosque content.
Why is a recording or dua missing?
Some content needs internet access and appears only after the mosque publishes it. Refresh the relevant list. Saved Qur’an text and downloaded audio or page assets can still be used offline where supported.
Will my saved items move to a new phone?
No automatic account sync is provided for local favourites, playlists, interests or routines. Clearing app data can remove them.
How do I get an app update?
When a newer store build is available, the app may show an update prompt. You can also open its page in the App Store or Google Play to check manually.
Need more help?
Use App Settings → Application Feedback to report a problem or suggest an improvement. The mosque website has current programme, contact and donation information.
