MuftÄ« Muhammad Naeem á¹¢Äḥib's praise of the app's categorization of "á¹£aḥīḥ" and "á¸aÊ¿Ä«f" for the four Sunan books (from Shaykh al-AlbÄnÄ«'s categorizations) is fairly alarming. One of our Ê¿ulamÄʾ with whom I spoke shared the same concerns.
I'm sorry sister but I wouldn't know for specific local areas.
There are many apps in the market and none of them have the bespoke settings we require for the UK (especially during summer time)
Fortunately for me, I have this app which allows me to select my local Masjid and set it as my primary Masjid. I then use the widget to give me accurate times.
Not sure if the alerts work, but the timing is excellent.
The top widget is the one I'm referring to. I keep it on the home screen. The other two widgets are from prayer time Pro, but they do no have a decent summer time timetable for us. But otherwise, prayer time Pro is just as good if summer time does not affect your location. Screenshot taken in London UK near Wembley Football Stadium, however, local Masjid is 17 miles away approx.
This is an upgrade from the previous version of Masjid Timetable. It has a completely new look but this is not an Android Update. This has been built from the ground up.
The Islamic Crescents Observation for the UK (ICOUK) Hijri Calendar Widgets are based on verified Moon Sighting reports by the human eye (Muhaqaq Ruyat Al-Basari), which makes it a unique product of its kind. It will automatically synchronise the dates in the background on a regular basis with our database servers via the Internet but it will continue to work off-line when there is no internet connection. There are two Widgets provided, one for the Daily Hijri date (suitable for the Home Screen) and the other one for the Monthly Calendar (suitable for the next screen).
The Calendar Widget also provides future monthly dates based on predicted moon sighting (Imkan Al-Ruyat) for planning purposes (e.g. holiday and travel bookings) up to 2 years ahead, but the dates are synchronised on the 29th lunar date of each month (or on-demand). The predicted future dates have been tested over 10 years (since 2008) by the ICOUK observers and have been found to be highly accurate with actual sighting dates, so it is an excellent planning tool, too.
Even though by default the Hijri Dates are based on actual Moon Signing in the UK to Morocco region, it can be used from outside this Region and hence the Widgets can be adjusted with the local Hijri calendar with up to +/- 2 days differences. In the vast majority of the cases, only +/- 1 day adjustment will be sufficient to make the Widgets usable effectively throughout the whole world (since it is based on the centre of the world map), so there should not be any need to use a local calendar-based App or Widget by travellers from the UK/Morocco region to other countries.
The above adjustments will allow it to easily match it with the civil calendar of Saudi Arabia (Ummul Qura) or with Moon Sighting news from the Southern Hemisphere. It is provided in both the English and the Arabic languages to meet the demands of most users.
The summary of the Widget features are provided in the following list:
• Hijri dates are based on verified moon sighting reports by the human eye
• All the Hijri dates and settings are synchronised with online servers
• Future Hijri dates are provided based on predicted sightings (Imkan Al Ruyat)
• Both the Hijri and the Gregorian dates are provided on the same calendar
• Past and future monthly calendars can be easily viewed with navigation buttons
• Day and Month Adjustments are provided for users from outside the UK
• Hijri dates and help-texts can be viewed in both English and Arabic languages
• Islamic Holidays and Events will appear on the relevant Hijri date as reminders
• Daily and Monthly Hijri dates can be used separately (with the Day Adjust setting)
• The Fore and Background colours can be adjusted to match the device wall-paper
We have provided ample help-text in English and Arabic to make it easier for you to get the best use of our ICOUK Hijri Calendar Widgets. If you have any difficulties using it, please contact us before leaving any negative comments. Your positive feedback ratings will encourage us to add more useful features in the future versions (such as daily prayer times), InShaAllah.
Mufti Taqi Usmani: The Nobel Quran. Maktaba Mariful Quran
Before studying the translation of the Holy QurʾÄn, it is necessary to keep the
Before studying the translation of the Holy QurʾÄn, it is necessary to keep the following points in mind:
(1) The Holy QurʾÄn is the Divine Book of guidance that was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammadï§. Instead of sending it down in a single transaction, Allah Almighty has revealed it in parts during the period of last 23 years of the life of the Holy Prophet ï§. For, as the Last Messenger of Allah on this earth, the Holy Prophet ï§ had to pass through different phases during his struggle for propagation of Islam, and needed to receive divine instructions on each new situation arising in the course of his struggle. At times, therefore, he received detailed discourses, and at others only one verse or a part of it, according to the requirement of each respective situation.
(2) That is the reason why the Holy QurʾÄn is not in the form of normal books that deal with every aspect of a subject at one place, then move on to other subjects, or in which every subject is discussed in a different chapter. The Holy QurʾÄn is rather a package of divine verses—each one having an independent point of guidance—which sometimes appears to be disjointed with the foregoing or forthcoming points, though having a fine tune of linkage if considered in depth. Similarly, different aspects of one subject are often found in different chapters, because every aspect was revealed whenever it was needed in the relevant circumstances.
(3) As admitted by even non-Muslim Arabs, the Holy QurʾÄn has a unique literary style in Arabic, which has no parallel in the history of Arabic literature. Its miraculous beauty, eloquence and grandeur cannot be accurately rendered in any other language, nor can a translator convey the effect of its most impressive expressions in exact proportion. All one can do is to try to transmit the basic sense of its verses within the limits of a translation, which is often devoid of force and bereft of the peculiar sequence and rhythm of the original text. Thus a translation of the Holy QurʾÄn can help one understand its basic message, but it can by no means represent or stand for the Holy QurʾÄn itself, nor is it a just attitude to form an opinion about it merely on the basis of a translation.
(4) The present translation is an effort to render the basic meanings of the Holy QurʾÄn in a simple and easy language. It is, therefore, neither too literal that may be difficult for a common reader to understand, nor is it too liberal that it may take the reader too far from the Holy Text itself. I have tried to accommodate different interpretations that were reasonably possible in some verses, but where I failed to do so, I have adopted the interpretation preferred by majority of the classic exegeses.
(5) The footnotes in this book are not meant to give a comprehensive commentary on the Holy Book, for which detailed commentaries, like Ma‘ariful Qur’an, may be consulted. The notes are rather meant only to explain the translation wherever a common reader may find some difficulty in understanding the correct connotation of the text, or where he needs to know the backdrop of the revelation of a particular verse.
