Quick Summary

Tawhid app provides accurate prayer times based on your location with multiple calculation methods. You can customize Azan alerts, set pre/post reminders, choose Adhan voices, and adjust settings for high-latitude regions. This guide covers everything you need to configure perfect prayer times for your location.

Why Accurate Prayer Times Matter

Prayer times (Salah times) are one of the most important features for any Muslim app. Accurate timing ensures you never miss Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha prayers. Tawhid app uses reliable calculation methods and allows you to customize settings based on your location, school of thought, and personal preferences.

Step 1: Accessing Prayer Times Settings

To configure your prayer times in Tawhid app:

Open the Tawhid app on your device
Tap on the "Prayer Times" icon in the bottom navigation bar
You'll see various options including Location, Manual Correction, Prayer Time Conventions, and more

Step 2: Setting Your Location

Your location is crucial for accurate prayer time calculations. Tawhid offers two ways to set your location:

Automatic Location Detection

Enable Automatic Settings:

Toggle on "Automatic Settings" in the Prayer Times settings
The app will use your device's GPS to automatically detect your location
Prayer times will update automatically as you travel

Manual Location Selection

Set Location Manually:

Tap on "Location" in the settings
Search for your city or select it from the list
You'll see your current location (e.g., "Burnaby, Canada") displayed
This is useful if GPS is unavailable or you want to set a different location

Step 3: Choosing Prayer Time Calculation Methods

Tawhid supports multiple calculation methods to ensure accuracy based on different Islamic schools of thought and regional preferences:

Prayer Time Conventions

Available Options:

Auto: Automatically selects the best method for your location
ISNA (Islamic Society of North America): Recommended for North America
MWL (Muslim World League): Used in many countries worldwide
Egyptian: Based on Egyptian General Authority of Survey calculations
Umm al-Qura: Used in Saudi Arabia
Karachi: University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method
Other regional methods: Various other calculation methods for specific regions

Juristic Method (Asr Calculation)

The Juristic Method determines how Asr prayer time is calculated:

Shafi/Maliki/Hanbali: Asr when shadow length equals object length (Standard method)
Hanafi: Asr when shadow length equals twice the object length
Select based on your school of thought or preference

Step 4: High Latitude Adjustment

For locations at high latitudes (far north or south), where normal calculation methods may not work well, Tawhid offers adjustment options:

Auto: Automatically applies the best adjustment method
Angle-Based: Uses a fixed angle method
One-Seventh of Night: Divides the night into seven equal parts
Middle of Night: Uses the middle of the night method

Step 5: Manual Time Correction

If you need to fine-tune prayer times, you can use manual correction:

Tap on "Manual Correction" in settings
You'll see values like "1,0,0,0,0,0" representing adjustments for each prayer
Adjust minutes for: Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha
Use positive numbers to add minutes, negative to subtract
This is useful if your local mosque times differ slightly from calculations

Step 6: Configuring Azan (Adhan) Alerts

Azan alerts ensure you never miss a prayer. Tawhid offers comprehensive Adhan settings:

Accessing Adhan Settings

Go to Prayer Times
Tap on "Adhan Settings" or the bell icon
You'll see options for Pre/Post Reminders and Adhan Voice settings

Pre-Adhan Reminder

Set an alarm for certain minutes before the Adhan time:

Enable "Pre-Adhan Reminder"
Set the number of minutes before prayer (e.g., 5, 10, 15 minutes)
Useful for preparing for prayer, especially for Fajr
You can set different reminders for each prayer

Post-Adhan Reminder

Set an alarm for certain minutes after the Adhan time:

Enable "Post-Adhan Reminder"
Set the number of minutes after prayer time
Helpful if you missed the initial Adhan
Great backup reminder system

Adhan Voice Selection

Tawhid offers multiple Adhan voices for each prayer. For Fajr specifically, you can choose from:

No Notification: Disable Adhan for this prayer
No Sound: Silent notification only
Sunrise: Simple sunrise sound
Short Beep: Brief notification sound
Notification: Standard notification sound
Adhan Al Haram Al Madade: Beautiful Makkah Adhan (recommended)
Nasser Al Abd Al Jabar - Adhan: Alternative Adhan voice
Other voices: Multiple other muezzin options available

💡 Pro Tip

For Fajr prayer, many users prefer "Adhan Al Haram Al Madade" as it's the authentic Makkah Adhan. You can set different voices for different prayers based on your preference. Test different options to find what works best for you.

Step 7: Viewing Prayer Times

Once configured, you can view your prayer times in the main Prayer Times screen:

Navigate to the "Prayers" tab in the bottom navigation
You'll see the current date (e.g., "February 15, 2026") and Islamic date (e.g., "Sha'aban 27, 1447")
All five daily prayers are listed: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha
The next upcoming prayer is highlighted (e.g., "Maghrib in 01h 52m")
Each prayer shows the exact time and Adhan status
Use the calendar icon to view prayer times for other dates

Common Issues and Solutions

Prayer Times Seem Incorrect

Verify your location is set correctly
Try a different calculation method (ISNA, MWL, etc.)
Check if manual correction is needed
Ensure your device time zone is correct

Not Receiving Azan Notifications

Check notification permissions in device settings
Ensure "Do Not Disturb" mode is not active
Verify battery optimization isn't blocking notifications
Check that Adhan voice is not set to "No Notification"
Restart the app if issues persist

High Latitude Locations

If you're in a high latitude area (far north/south), enable "High Latitude Adjustment"
Try different adjustment methods (Auto, Angle-Based, etc.)
Consult with your local mosque for recommended settings

Best Practices

Use Automatic Location: For most users, automatic location detection works best
Set Pre-Adhan Reminders: Especially helpful for Fajr prayer
Choose Appropriate Calculation Method: Match your region or school of thought
Test Different Adhan Voices: Find one that works best for you
Keep App Updated: Updates may include improved calculation methods
Verify with Local Mosque: Compare times with your local mosque for accuracy

Conclusion

Setting up accurate prayer times in Tawhid app is straightforward once you understand the available options. By configuring your location, choosing the right calculation method, and customizing Azan alerts, you'll have reliable prayer times that help you maintain your daily Salah schedule.

Remember, prayer times may vary slightly between different calculation methods and local mosques. Use the manual correction feature if needed to align with your local community's times.
