Worship topics

To find the qibla, open the qibla screen in Pray Assist, hold the phone flat and away from metal, calibrate the compass with a figure-eight motion, and confirm the direction against the map view.

How do I build a daily Quran reading habit?
To build a daily Quran habit, choose an amount small enough that you will never skip it, attach it to a prayer you already keep, set a single reminder, and let the reading plan hold your place.
How do I prepare for Ramadan?
To prepare for Ramadan, check the start date on the hijri calendar, set sahur and iftar reminders, plan how much Quran you will read each day, and begin fasting a few voluntary days beforehand.
How do I see when the next prayer is?
Pray Assist shows the next prayer with a live countdown on the home screen, and the same countdown is available as a widget and on the lock screen so you can see it without opening the app.

If you are learning from the beginning, start with the practice rather than the theory: wudu, then the prayer, then fasting, which is exactly the order the ilmihal lessons in Pray Assist follow.
Choosing an app
What should I look for in a prayer times app?

What makes a good Quran app with translation?
A good Quran app puts a trustworthy translation beside the Arabic, lets you listen to a reciter while the verse being read is highlighted, remembers where you stopped, and lets you search by word or subject.

AI Islamic guide
What is the AI Islamic guide in Pray Assist?
The AI guide in Pray Assist is a companion that explains worship, verses and hadith in plain language, shows the source behind each answer, and directs you to a real scholar when a ruling is needed.
How does the AI guide answer religious questions?
The AI guide answers from the Quran, the hadith collections and the ilmihal held inside Pray Assist, quotes the passage it relied on, and states plainly when scholars differ on a question.
Can I ask the AI guide questions in my own language?
You can ask the AI guide in any language Pray Assist supports, and the answer comes back in that same language, with the Arabic of the verse or hadith shown unchanged alongside it.
Does the AI guide show where its answers come from?
Every AI guide answer carries its source: the verse reference, the hadith with its collection and grading, or the ilmihal section it drew on, and each opens in full with a single tap.
Can the AI guide give a fatwa?
No — the AI guide does not issue fatwas. It explains and points to sources, and any question that needs an actual ruling is directed to a real scholar through the Ask a scholar feature.
What happens when the AI guide does not know the answer?
When the AI guide has no reliable source it says so plainly instead of inventing a verse or hadith, and offers to pass your question to a real scholar.
Can I ask the guide about prayer and fasting rules?
Yes — questions about wudu, what breaks a prayer or a fast, shortening prayers while travelling and making up missed worship are the everyday questions the guide is built to answer.
Does the AI guide work offline?
The AI guide needs an internet connection, but the Quran, hadith, dua, prayer times, qibla and your worship record all continue to work offline.
Are my questions to the AI guide private?
Your questions to the AI guide are private: they are not published, not shown to other users and not attached to your public profile, and you can clear the history whenever you want.
Can the AI guide explain a verse of the Quran?

Can the AI guide explain a hadith?
The AI guide explains any hadith in the collections: its meaning, its collection and grading, the situation it addresses, and whether the narration is weak or commonly misquoted.
Can the AI guide help me plan my worship?
Describe your situation to the AI guide and it suggests a realistic plan — a daily reading amount, a schedule for making up missed prayers, a dhikr routine — which you can turn into reminders.
Is the AI guide free to use?
The free plan includes a daily allowance of AI guide questions, and paid plans raise that allowance and answer with priority — with sources shown either way.
How do I ask the AI guide a good question?
To get a good answer from the AI guide, describe your actual situation rather than searching for the correct term, ask one thing at a time, mention your school of fiqh if it matters, and read the source it returns.
How do I check an AI answer against the source?
To check an AI answer, tap the reference beneath it, read the verse or hadith in its full context, check the grading on any hadith, and report the answer if the source does not support it.
How do I save an AI answer for later?
Tap save on any AI guide answer and it goes to your saved items with its source attached, where it stays readable offline and can be shared as plain text.
