Ayara — Daily Companion for Shia Muslims

Ayara is a modern companion designed for Shia Muslims seeking reliable daily guidance, remembrance, and practical tools to support their faith throughout the day. The app brings together essential features for worship, learning, and devotion — rooted in the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt — helping you stay connected to faith wherever you are.

Ayara supports more than 90 languages, making it accessible to Shia Muslims around the world. Whether you prefer Arabic, English, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, French, or another language, the app adapts so that guidance and knowledge are always clear and easy to understand.

Hadith of the Day:
Each day Ayara presents a hadith from the Masumeen — the Prophet and the fourteen Infallibles — shown in Arabic and English with full source attribution from references such as Bihar al-Anwar, Nahj al-Balagha, and al-Kafi. You can browse the collection anytime and share hadiths directly from the app.

Profiles of the Fourteen Masumeen:
Ayara includes profiles for the Prophet Muhammad, Lady Fatima al-Zahra, and all twelve Imams. Each profile contains a biography, a well-known saying in Arabic and English with its source, and key historical details such as birth and martyrdom dates and burial sites.

Pilgrimage Guides:
Ayara offers clear step-by-step guides for both Hajj and Umrah. Each ritual is explained with its Arabic name and transliteration, practical instructions, and Shia-specific notes where relevant.

Tasbih al-Zahra:
The app includes a dedicated counter for Tasbih al-Zahra — Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar — across their sequence of 33, 33, and 34 repetitions. Visual progress arcs, haptic feedback, and daily streak tracking help you maintain consistency in remembrance.

Dua Audio Library:
Ayara provides a curated audio library of major Shia duas including Dua Kumayl, Ziyarat Ashura, Dua Nudbah, and Dua Tawassul. Each supplication includes its source Imam and information on when it is recited, with an integrated audio player for easy listening and recitation.

Qibla Compass:
The precise Qibla compass uses your device’s sensors to locate the direction of the Kaaba so you can orient yourself correctly for prayer. Ayara also displays the distance to the Qibla.

Prayer Times and Notifications:
Ayara provides accurate daily prayer times based on your location, with optional notifications for each prayer. A monthly prayer calendar helps you view the schedule for the entire month at a glance.

Islamic Calendar Reminders:
Receive reminders for important occasions in the Islamic calendar — including Ramadan, Eid, Ashura, and other Shia commemorations. You can also set personal reminders for daily dhikr and reflection.

Guided Faith Reflections:
Ask questions and receive guidance inspired by Shia teachings and the tradition of the Ahl al-Bayt, organized into categories such as daily life, patience, gratitude, faith, and spiritual growth.

Ayara is designed to feel calm, focused, and respectful of religious tradition. From prayer times and the Qibla compass to Tasbih al-Zahra, hadith, duas, and profiles of the Imams, Ayara brings together essential daily tools for Shia Muslims in one thoughtful and elegant app.

Ayara aims to support remembrance, reflection, and devotion each day — helping you stay connected to faith and the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt wherever you are.
