You unlock your phone "just for a second" — and miss your prayer without even realizing it.

Taqwa solves this. When prayer time arrives, a full-screen overlay soft-locks your phone, pulling you away from distractions and toward salah. No more accidentally scrolling through Asr. No more "I'll pray after this video."

It's not a hard lock — you're always in control. Need to take an urgent call or handle something important? Just hold to exit. But that conscious effort makes all the difference. Instead of mindlessly skipping prayer, you make a deliberate choice.

HOW IT WORKS

When it's time to pray, Taqwa displays a beautiful full-screen overlay on top of everything. Your phone becomes a reminder, not a distraction. The overlay shows the current prayer, the number of rakats, authentic hadiths about the importance of salah, reminders about the Aakhirah, and Sunnah of the prayer — turning your screen into something that draws you closer to Allah instead of away from Him.

Everything is configurable. Set the overlay duration (default 15 minutes), choose your exit difficulty (easy, medium, or hard hold duration), pick your notification style, and customize it to fit your lifestyle.

Once you've prayed, dismiss the overlay and go back to your day with a clear conscience.

FEATURES

Prayer Time Soft-Lock
- A gentle overlay that covers your phone at prayer time. You decide how long it stays (10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes) and how hard it is to dismiss. Hold to exit — so you always make a conscious decision.

Accurate Prayer Times
- Calculated for your exact GPS location using trusted Islamic calculation methods. Supports Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha — plus optional Tahajjud and Jummah.

Home Screen Widgets
- See your next prayer time and today's completion status right on your home screen. No need to open the app.

Nearby mosque finder
- Locate the closest masjid and get directions in Maps

Hadiths & Aakhirah Reminders
- During the overlay, read authentic hadiths and reminders about preparing for the Day of Judgement. Your phone becomes a source of khair instead of distraction.

Qibla Direction
- Built-in Qibla compass so you always know which way to face — and pray wherever you are.

Missed Prayer Notifications
- Dismissed the overlay but haven't prayed yet? Taqwa will remind you again so no prayer slips through. Tap "I Prayed" right from the notification — no need to open the app.

Prayer Tracking & Streaks
- Track every salah — completed, missed, or delayed. See your rakat counts, build streaks, and watch your consistency grow on a visual calendar.

Study Mode
- Need to focus beyond prayer time? Use Study Mode to soft-lock your phone while studying, reading Quran, or any time you want to disconnect from distractions.

Sound at Prayer Time
