Islamic Tools

Choosing the right Islamic tool

Islamic Tools bring together the calculations that come up in a Muslim's daily and yearly practice: the times of the five prayers, the direction of the Qibla, the Sehri and Iftar times of Ramadan, the Hijri date, zakat on savings, compensation for missed fasts, the division of an estate and a plan for reading the whole Quran. Each tool does one job and explains the method it uses, so you can match it to the practice of your mosque or school of thought.

For the day ahead, use Prayer Times to see Fajr to Isha for your city with the method your mosque follows, and the Qibla Finder when you are setting up a prayer space somewhere new. Before and during Ramadan, the Ramadan Calendar prints a 30-day Sehri and Iftar timetable, the Quran Khatam Planner spreads the 604 pages over the month, and the Tasbeeh Counter keeps count of your dhikr. For money matters, the Zakat Calculator works out 2.5% on wealth above the nisab, the Fidya & Kaffarah Calculator multiplies missed fasts by a local meal cost, and the Islamic Inheritance Calculator divides an estate into faraid shares. The Hijri Date Converter links Islamic and Gregorian dates.

Everything is calculated in your browser, and your location, counts and progress stay on your device. Calculated prayer times and calendar dates are estimates: moon sighting, local timetables and scholarly opinion can differ, and the tools say where the schools differ instead of choosing for you. For zakat, inheritance, fidya and kaffarah in particular, treat the result as a clear starting point and confirm anything important with a qualified scholar.
