# Noor Al-Sabeel (نور السبيل)

> Free, open-source Android app for prayer times (salah), the full adhan and the qibla compass — no ads, no tracking, and all calculations run offline on the device.

Noor Al-Sabeel is developed by AhmedZakeFit and released under Apache-2.0. Prayer times support twelve calculation methods (Umm al-Qura, Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority of Survey, ISNA, Karachi, Gulf, Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore, Turkey, France, or custom angles), with a ±30-minute shift on any individual time to match a local mosque. The app plays a complete recorded adhan at prayer time (with a separate Fajr adhan), shows a pre-prayer reminder with a live countdown, includes a qibla compass with magnetic-declination correction, and displays the official Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar (1924–2076). A dedicated mosque screen searches for nearby mosques on an interactive OpenStreetMap-based map (1–10 km radius, around the current or saved location) — this optional search needs an internet connection. The app collects nothing and sends nothing to any server; the network is used only for the optional online city search, the nearby-mosque search and its map tiles, and the in-app update check. The app UI is available in Arabic and English. It is not on Google Play; distribution is a direct signed APK from GitHub Releases, and an F-Droid submission is planned but not guaranteed.
