Computed on your device — this page never saw your location. Open DevTools and check: no request leaves this site.

End-to-end encrypted

Messages and calls run on the Matrix protocol. The keys live on your devices — not even Ahillah can read a word.

How Matrix E2EE works

Open source

The client is open code. You don’t have to take our word for any of this — audit the pledge yourself.

Read the code

Username-only

No phone number. No email. Your account is a name you choose — we cannot leak what we never had.

The Amanah Pledge

Works fully offline

Quran, prayer times, Qibla, and adhkar are computed and stored on your phone. Airplane mode changes nothing.

See what’s on-device

Your worship is not ad inventory.

We can’t see where you pray.

Prayer times, Qibla, and the hijri calendar are computed on your phone. Your location never leaves it — there is nothing for us to log, sell, or lose.

We can’t read your conversations.

Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted on the Matrix protocol. The keys stay on your devices. Even Ahillah’s own servers see only ciphertext.

We can’t leak what we never had.

Your account is a username. No phone number, no email, no contact-book upload. Data that is never collected can never be demanded — by anyone.

In 2020, journalists revealed that a widely used Muslim prayer app had sold users’ location data to brokers whose clients included U.S. military contractors (the reporting is public). We are not here to judge anyone’s choices. We built Ahillah so that nothing like it is possible here — not as a policy, but as architecture.

One app, held together by one promise

Four tabs, forever: Today, Quran, Chats, More. No feed. No ads. Nothing designed to keep you scrolling.

The adhan that actually rings

Alarm-grade delivery, tested against the most aggressive battery killers. If your phone silenced the app hours ago, the adhan still fires — and a built-in self-test proves it before Fajr does.

The whole Quran, offline

Uthmani script from Tanzil, open translations, search, and khatmah tracking — all bundled with the app, all on your device. Try it in airplane mode.

Qibla you can feel

An astrolabe-ring compass with haptic guidance — find the direction with your eyes closed.

Iqamah times from your community

A mosque directory kept alive by imams and congregations, not a scraped database — with walk-time reminders like “leave by 12:37”.

Private words, kept private

End-to-end encrypted chats and calls that pause politely for the adhan. Sukoon mode quiets the noise around prayer.

Morning and evening, always

Dua and adhkar collections, and a full-screen tasbih built for one hand.

Ask people of knowledge

Verified scholars answer your questions — anonymously if you prefer. Browse the public answers library without an account.

Counted the way your community counts

Nothing here is a black box. Every calculation is named, every source is cited, and the app follows your community — not the other way around.

Fourteen calculation methods

  • Muslim World League
  • Umm al-Qura (Makkah)
  • Dubai
  • Gulf Region
  • Egyptian General Authority
  • University of Karachi
  • ISNA (North America)
  • Moonsighting Committee
  • Singapore
  • Indonesia (Kemenag)
  • Türkiye (Diyanet)
  • Morocco
  • France (UOIF)
  • Russia

The same open astronomical algorithms in the app and on this page — pick the authority your mosque follows.

Asr on your madhhab: standard (Shafiʿi, Maliki, Hanbali) or Hanafi.

A mushaf with a paper trail

Quran text from Tanzil (Uthmani, unmodified, attribution preserved) via the open quran-json dataset, with open-license translations. The exact sources ship in the app’s licenses screen.

Named scholars, not “verified content”

Every scholar on Ahillah applies with their real name, credentials, and institution, and is approved through moderation. Answers are signed. You always know who said what.

On moonsighting, Ahillah is a timekeeper, not an arbiter: the app follows your community’s announcements.

﴿يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡأَهِلَّةِۖ قُلۡ هِيَ مَوَٰقِيتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَٱلۡحَجِّ﴾

“They ask you about the crescent moons. Say: they are timekeepers for mankind and for the pilgrimage.”

Quran 2:189 — Ahillah (أهلّة) means “crescent moons”.

What we can see — and what we never can

Every privacy claim on this page reduces to this table. It is short because the first column is short.

What our servers can see

  • The username you chose, and your display name
  • Questions you send to verified scholars — so they can be routed, moderated, and (only with your consent) published. The app tells you this on the ask screen, and you can ask anonymously or use an encrypted DM instead.
  • Mosque directory edits you submit — that’s the point of community iqamah times

What no one at Ahillah can ever see

  • Your location — prayer times and Qibla are computed on your phone
  • Your prayer tracker — it never leaves your device
  • What you read in the Quran, or your khatmah progress
  • Your messages and calls — end-to-end encrypted, keys on your devices
  • Your contacts — there is no contact-book upload, ever
  • A phone number or email — none is ever collected

So how is it funded?

By the community it serves: a waqf-style endowment model and optional supporter perks — sadaqah jariyah, not a subscription wall. What is free stays free, worship is never gated, and revenue never comes from attention or data.

Why we built this

Amanah (أمانة) means the trust — something placed in your care that you must return whole. When you tell an app where you pray, when you wake for Fajr, and what you ask a scholar at 2 a.m., that is an amanah. We watched the apps our families used treat it as inventory instead, and we decided the ummah deserves software that cannot betray it — not software that merely promises not to. Every line of Ahillah is written against a nine-point pledge, in the open, where you can check it.

The Amanah Pledge, in nine lines

  1. 01
    No ads

    Worship is not ad inventory. There will never be an ad in Ahillah.

  2. 02
    No trackers

    No analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no fingerprinting.

  3. 03
    No data sale

    Never sold, shared, brokered, or “partnered” — under any name.

  4. 04
    Location stays on your device

    Prayer times, Qibla, and the hijri calendar are computed on-device. Coordinates are never transmitted.

  5. 05
    No phone number, no email

    Your account is a username. We cannot leak what we never had.

  6. 06
    Private conversations

    Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. Push notifications carry an opaque ID, never content.

  7. 07
    Honest exceptions, stated up-front

    Scholar Q&A tickets are readable by the service so they can be routed and answered — the app says so on the ask screen, and you can ask anonymously.

  8. 08
    Funded by the community

    A waqf/donation model with optional supporter perks. Revenue never comes from attention or data.

  9. 09
    Verifiable

    The client is open source. Anyone can audit that this pledge is enforced in code.

Questions we’d ask too

How do you make money without ads?

Through the community: a waqf-style endowment and optional supporter perks. Nothing essential is ever paywalled, and revenue never comes from attention or data. If that model ever changed, the pledge — and the open code — would show it immediately.

Why don’t you ask for a phone number or email?

Because we don’t need one, and because every identifier a service stores is something it can leak, sell, or be forced to hand over. Your account is a username plus a recovery key that only you hold. Data that is never collected can never be demanded.

Does it really work offline?

Yes. The Quran, prayer times, Qibla, adhkar, and your private tracker are computed and stored on your phone. Only community features — chat, mosque directory, scholar Q&A — need a connection, because they are conversations with other people.

Which calculation methods do you support? My city’s times look different.

Fourteen named methods — including Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi, ISNA, Moonsighting Committee, Diyanet, and Kemenag — plus Hanafi and standard Asr. If your mosque follows a specific authority, pick it and the app matches. You can also follow your mosque’s own announced iqamah times.

Where does your Quran text come from, and who checked it?

From Tanzil’s Uthmani text — a reference digital mushaf project — carried unmodified through the open quran-json dataset, with the license and attribution shipped inside the app. The build pipeline is open source, so the provenance is checkable end to end.

What can Ahillah actually see about me?

Your username, questions you choose to send to scholars (stated up-front, anonymous option included), and mosque edits you submit. Not your location, not your messages, not your reading, not your contacts, not a phone number. The transparency table above is the complete list.

Will my mosque’s iqamah times be there?

The directory is seeded from OpenStreetMap and filled in by communities: imams and mosque admins can claim their mosque and publish iqamah times, with moderation to keep them honest. If your mosque isn’t there yet, adding it takes a minute — that’s the point.

When can I download it?

Ahillah is in the final stretch before launch on iOS and Android. Leave your email with one tap — it goes to a mailbox, not a marketing platform — or watch the repository on GitHub, and you’ll know the day it ships.

No ads. No trackers. No phone number. Just your deen.

Ahillah is coming soon to iOS and Android.
