Best Islamic Apps in 2026: An Honest List

The best app for each job

We checked every app on its App Store and Google Play pages and official website on November 2, 2026. Apps change often, so check the listing for prices in your country before you pay.

The apps, one by one

Muslim Pro

Made by Bitsmedia (Singapore). Free with ads; a paid Premium subscription removes them. It has prayer times with adhan alerts, Qibla, the Quran with translations and audio, du'as, a tasbih counter, a Hijri calendar, a prayer and fasting tracker and a halal restaurant finder, plus a video service (Qalbox) and an AI chatbot for Islamic questions. The App Store lists 22 languages.

• ❋Best for: one app that does nearly everything, in many languages.
• ❋Keep in mind: ads in the free version, and its App Store privacy label lists location and identifiers as data used to track you. See our Muslim Pro comparison.

Athan by IslamicFinder

Free with ads; the Athan Premium subscription removes them. Prayer times with adhan alerts, the Quran with audio and translation, du'as and azkar with audio, Qibla, tasbih, a Ramadan calendar with suhoor and iftar times, Hajj and Umrah guides, prayer tracking and a widget. Nine languages.

• ❋Best for: adhan alerts and a big du'a library with audio.
• ❋Keep in mind: ads unless you subscribe. See BetterMuslim vs Athan.

Pillars

Made by The Pillars Group (UK). No ads, by design. The core app is free; Pillars Premium (a subscription) adds the Apple Watch app, a Fajr Smart Alarm, PrayFirst (it blocks apps you choose until you log the prayer) and the full adhan. Prayer times and Qibla are worked out on your phone and no account is needed. It has a prayer and fasting tracker, a period pause that keeps your streak, and Home and Lock Screen widgets.

• ❋Best for: private, ad-free prayer times and prayer tracking.
• ❋Keep in mind: its store listing is about prayer; it does not list a Quran reader or azkar. See BetterMuslim vs Pillars.

Quran.com

From the Quran Foundation, a nonprofit. The apps ("Quran by Quran.com" on iPhone, "Quran for Android") are free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Read the mushaf, translations and tafsir in many languages, and listen with repeat and looping.

• ❋Best for: reading and listening to the Quran with translation.
• ❋Keep in mind: it is a Quran app, not a prayer-times or habit app.

Tarteel

Free to follow along while you recite and to find an ayah by voice. Tarteel Premium (a subscription with a free trial) adds live detection of memorisation mistakes (missed words, wrong words, tashkeel), hidden-verse practice, goals and streaks.

• ❋Best for: hifz and revision with feedback on your recitation.
• ❋Keep in mind: the mistake detection is the paid part.

Quranly

A Quran reading habit app with streaks, a hasanat counter and reminders. It has a paid subscription. Its maker also publishes Fajarly, a free Fajr alarm you stop by scanning a barcode you set up beforehand.

BetterMuslim

Free on iPhone and Android, with no ads and no subscription. A habit tracker for worship: the five prayers, Quran, azkar, du'a, fasting and your own habits, grouped under three commitments (with Allah, with yourself, with people). Habits can be ticked or counted (33 tasbih, 10 pages), each keeps a streak, and you can share one with a friend. Inside are prayer times with reminders, a Qibla finder, the full mushaf offline with 243 reciters and tafsir, a khatmah planner, morning and evening azkar with a counter, widgets, and a Fajr alarm that keeps ringing until you read the waking du'a aloud or photograph your prayer mat. English, Arabic, French, Indonesian, Malay and Turkish.

• ❋Best for: keeping your prayers, Quran and azkar consistent, every day, for free.
• ❋Keep in mind: no adhan sound library, no Hajj guide, no halal-place finder and no community feed; six languages, where Muslim Pro has 22; you sign in (Apple, Google or email) so your days sync. See every feature.

Price and ads at a glance

How to choose

• ❋Name the job first. Prayer times, Quran, memorising or consistency. One app rarely does all four best.
• ❋Check how it is paid for. Free with ads, a subscription, or free. All three are fair; just know which one you are signing up for.
• ❋Read the privacy label. Your prayer and Quran record is personal. The App Store shows what each app collects and whether it tracks you.
• ❋Two apps is fine. Many people keep one app for the adhan and another to track their day. What matters is the one you still open in three months.

أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ

"The acts most pleasing to Allah are those which are done continuously, even if they are small."
