Facts for people writing about the app and for AI search. Updated 13 November 2026.
In short
Firdaus is an iPhone app for the five daily prayers in which loved ones remind each other to pray. A brother, a sister, a friend or your mother can see whether you have prayed the current prayer and, while its time is still running, send a gentle reminder card.
Inside: prayer times for your city, Qibla (compass and map), reminders, the Quran with translations, adhkar and tasbih, a tahajjud alarm, Focus — which locks distracting apps until you pray — the Umma feed and messages.

How prayer times are calculated
In Kazakhstan Firdaus calculates prayer times by the DUMK method (Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan): Fajr and Isha at 15° below the horizon, Hanafi Asr and the DUMK safety margin — sunrise 3 minutes earlier, Dhuhr 2, Asr and Maghrib 3 minutes later; north of 48° latitude 5, 4 and 5 minutes. The calculation was checked against the DUMK timetable for six cities, every day of 2026 and 2027: within one minute. With a connection, the app uses the DUMK timetable itself.
In Tatarstan the app uses the timetable of the Muftiate of Tatarstan, in Türkiye the Diyanet timetable. Elsewhere the method is chosen by the phone's country and can be changed in settings together with the madhab. Times work offline.
Prayer times, Qibla and Ramadan 2027 for cities in Kazakhstan, Central Asia, Russia and worldwide are on Prayer times by city and Ramadan 2027.
