Quran and translations
- Quran text: the Uthmani text of the King Fahd Complex (via alquran.cloud). It is copied directly from the source and never edited by hand.
- Urdu translation: Maulana Fateh Muhammad Jalandhari only.
- English translation: Saheeh International.
Hadith and the way of praying
- Hadith: first Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, then Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah. Each dua shows its exact number, linked to sunnah.com so you can check it.
- Method: the general Sunnah way of praying from authentic hadith, not one madhab. A surah after Al-Fatiha only in the first two rakahs of fard prayers.
- Starting surahs: Jumu'ah starts with Al-A'la and Al-Ghashiyah (Muslim 878) and Witr with Al-A'la, Al-Kafirun and Al-Ikhlas (Nasa'i 1729, Tirmidhi 462), as the Prophet ﷺ recited. The daily fard prayers start with short, familiar surahs from Juz 'Amma (Al-Kafirun and Al-Ikhlas) so they are easy to follow — this is for ease, not a claim about what he recited in those prayers. You can change any surah, dua or count.
- Clear labels: where a narration is graded weak (for example the Hajah dua), it is marked so. Quranic duas are never placed in ruku or sujood (Muslim 479).
Daily reading books
The dua library also carries two classical daily reading books, kept in their printed day-by-day order: Hizb ul-Azam (Mulla Ali al-Qari, Urdu by Maulana Badr-e-Alam Meerthi) and 70 Istighfar (attributed to Hasan al-Basri). Each item is marked green when its source is authentic and yellow when it is weak or not a hadith. Yellow items are for reading only and can never be placed inside the salah.
Prayer times and Qibla
Prayer times and the Qibla direction are worked out on your own phone from your location (using the open-source Adhan calculation). Your location never leaves the phone. Choose the method your country follows; your local mosque's timetable always comes first.
Islamic calendar
Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, with a setting to match your local moon sighting. Only sacred days agreed upon from the Quran and Sahih hadith are marked, each with its reference.
