Frequently Asked Questions
About the azkar, the app, and how it handles prayer times, Qibla and your privacy.
Azkar
- What are morning and evening azkar?
- They are the remembrances (adhkar) the Prophet ﷺ taught to be said at the start and end of each day: verses from the Quran such as Ayat al-Kursi and the three Quls, and supplications such as Sayyid al-Istighfar. Each comes with a hadith describing its benefit.
- When is the best time to read them?
- Morning azkar after Fajr and before sunrise; evening azkar after Asr and before sunset. If you miss those windows, read the morning set before Dhuhr and the evening set after Maghrib.
- Do I have to finish the whole set?
- No. Reading some of them is far better than none. If time is short, start with Ayat al-Kursi, the three Quls and Sayyid al-Istighfar.
- Can I read azkar from my phone?
- Yes. Reading dhikr from a book or a screen is fine; the reward is in the remembrance. Many people find a phone easier to carry than a book and use the counter to keep track of the repetitions.
- Are the azkar on Sadeeq authentic?
- Every dhikr is from the Quran or from an authentic hadith, and the hadith behind each one is shown on its page with its reference. If you find an error, email support@sadeeq.online and we will correct it.
The app
- Is the Sadeeq app free?
- Yes, completely. There are no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions and no account to create.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. The azkar, the bundled hadith, prayer-time calculation, the Qibla compass and the tasbih counter all work without internet. Only the optional download of the full Bukhari and Muslim collections needs a connection, once.
- What does the app collect about me?
- Nothing. There is no server and no account. Your name, progress, streak and location are stored only on your phone, and location is used purely to calculate prayer times and the Qibla direction on the device.
- How does the streak work?
- A day is recorded as soon as you complete at least one dhikr in the morning or evening azkar. Your streak is the number of days in a row with a recorded day; it survives until a whole day is missed. Completing a full set is shown separately on the calendar in your profile.
- Which phones does it support?
- iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Download links are on the home page.
Prayer times and Qibla
- Why are the prayer times different from my mosque?
- Usually because the mosque follows a different calculation convention or a different madhab for Asr. Open Profile → Prayer calculation in the app and choose the same convention your mosque uses; the times will then agree.
- Can I get the Adhan as a notification?
- Yes. Prayer notifications can play a short Adhan clip or a chime, for whichever prayers you choose, plus an optional sunrise alert that marks the end of Fajr time.
- Which way is the Qibla?
- Towards the Kaaba in Makkah, along the shortest path over the surface of the earth. The app calculates the exact bearing for your location and shows it on a compass corrected to true north.
