Frequently asked questions

How do I make a dua play every 5 minutes?

Open Settings and use the first option, "How often should a dua come?" — tap the 5 min button. You can also drag the slider to any interval between 1 minute and 2 hours, and the countdown restarts from the moment you choose.

Is the dua read by a real person or by text-to-speech?

By a real reciter. The site has 122 recorded duas — 94 from Hisn al-Muslim and 28 Quranic verses recited by Mishary Rashid Alafasy. Text-to-speech is only used as a fallback for texts that have no recording.

Can it stay on screen while I browse other sites?

Yes. Press "Pin widget" and a small always-on-top window opens with the timer, the current dua, the next prayer and a volume control. It stays above any other website or application. This works in Chrome, Edge and Brave.

How does it know my prayer times?

It gets your location from your browser or your IP address, then calculates the times on your own device using the open-source adhan library — nothing is sent to a server. It also selects the calculation method used in your country automatically (Egyptian General Authority, Umm al-Qura, Muslim World League, ISNA and others), and you can change it manually.

Does the adhan play automatically?

Yes. When any of the five prayers comes in, the full adhan plays in a muezzin's voice and a desktop notification appears. You can choose the muezzin, or turn the adhan off for a specific prayer such as Fajr.

Do I need to install anything or create an account?

No. It runs in the browser immediately with no download, no sign-up and no personal data. You can install it as a standalone app from your browser's install button if you prefer.

Is it free?

Yes — completely free, with no ads.
