AstroBuruj: Sky & Prayer

AppliedDigital

About this app

AstroBuruj brings the night sky and the Islamic astronomical tradition together in one calm, beautiful app — built for the MENA region and available in six languages.

★ Interactive Sky Map
See the real-time sky above you. Identify stars, planets, and constellations on a zenith-centered map that updates as the night moves. Tap any object for details, and wind time forward or back to preview the sky.

★ Islamic Astronomy
• Accurate prayer times (Fajr to Isha) with all major calculation methods
• Qibla direction from your exact location
• Hijri date, plus officially declared dates and regional crescent-sighting reports
• Crescent-moon visibility tonight (Yallop & Odeh criteria)
Everything is computed on your device — no connection required.

★ Heritage & Lunar Mansions
Rediscover the Arabic origins of the star names we still use today, each with its story, and explore the 28 Manāzil al-Qamar (lunar mansions) that shaped centuries of Islamic timekeeping.

★ Private by design
AstroBuruj works offline. Your location stays on your device — it is never sent to our servers.

★ Six languages
English, العربية, Français, עברית, Türkçe, and فارسی — with full right-to-left support.

Free. No ads. No account required.
