ok here’s the thing I want to protect my privacy during Ramadan but don’t know how to protect it without doing anything forbidden like which Quran apps do I use and the like also I need help with physical privacy protections as well

Still don’t understand. Sorry.

  • First, we don’t know what is “forbidden” or not, you have to know.
  • Second why do you need an app?
  • Third what are you trying to protect, from who and why?

I was about to suggest NoorUlHuda نور الهدى but i found out it is outdated as the last update for it was in September 2021 so i searched for an alternative and the best thing i could find is QuranApp as it is open source and available on play store and has an izzydroid repo with min. amount of permissions and the development of it is so active so i recommend it.

For praying times iam using this website
https://timesprayer.com/ with native alpha app to isolate it and i chose a custom picture for the shortcut.

I get that it’s 2023, but if privacy is that important why not just set manual prayer timers and read the bible on paper?

You know that actually isn’t a bad idea but unfortunately sometimes you have to use technology in the modern world

Going old school with praying isn’t a bad idea. Sit with a Quran, a calender, notebook, an open source timer app or purchase a desk clock for 5 dollars and boom! Completely private way of praying.

For most of the history of Islam, there were no cell phones or accurate clocks. You don’t need an app for this. You can ask your local mosque about prayer times.

There is this app here :

From their description :

• A non-profit project - A dedicated endowment (for the sake of Allah).
• Open Source: Member of the OSI (Open Source Initiative)
• Community Driven
• Free, without any Ads.

You just have to take a mosque nearby you.

You can also read/hear the Quran via this app.

Masha Allah this is another app that I will be trying out in Ramadan

Open Source

Deceptive wording, it may give illusion that the app is open source when it is not.

Also there are google trackers in this app.
