I designed a daily prayer app around three moments: checking prayer times, finding trustworthy duas, and silencing the phone automatically inside a mosque.

The challenge
The brief was not to add more features to another prayer app. It was to remove small interruptions from daily practice while keeping prayer times and religious content dependable.
Primary audiences
- People building a daily prayer routine
- Need dependable prayer times, useful reminders and authentic duas without a cluttered experience.
- People praying at a mosque
- Need their phone to stop interrupting prayer without remembering to change settings every time.
What shaped the work
Working with the client clarified a simple product principle: every feature had to earn its place in a daily religious routine, where trust and low effort matter more than novelty.
Insights
- Prayer times needed to be dependable and local; anything less would undermine the whole app.
- Dua sources needed to appear at the point of reading, not in a separate reference area.
- Mosque silent mode had to work with almost no effort from the user.
Competitor analysis1 note
- The comparison focused on prayer-time setup, source visibility for duas, custom collections and silent-mode controls.
Key decisions
What I changed and why
- Prayer at a glance
- Made today's times and the next prayer immediately visible, with reminder controls close by.
- Silent mode without another ritual
- Turned mosque silent mode into a simple, location-aware setting instead of another manual task to remember.
- Trustworthy duas in context
- Kept Arabic, transliteration, translation and source references together, with saving available in the same view.

Wireframes2 notes

Visual direction2 notes
- Used a calm palette, clear type and restrained Islamic references rather than heavy ornament.
- Kept navigation and controls simple enough to scan quickly across a wide age range.
