The Athan Software

Religion played an important role in every society, regardless of belief and it still does so today. Different cultures use other prayer methods, with Islamic individuals having to go through six prayers throughout the day. In this regard, The Athan Software attempts to remind you when the main Islamic daily prayers are about to start.

Modern and intuitive interface

The application mostly resembles a customizable alarm clock, but with several fixed conditions. In terms of visuals, the application sports a modern interface, with all features stored in a compact window which you can further reduce in size to view only a clock and the upcoming prayer.
All of the six prayers are displayed in the main window along with a clock with indicators fixed at the corresponding time, as well as the name. A useful feature is that the application can be set to automatically run at startup so you don't have to constantly check whether or not it's active.

Multiple customization options

Furthermore, there are various customizable settings, ranging from text and hour format display, to time correction and location options. This further increases practicality because it can be used by Islamic communities around the world, being fully synchronized.

Enable sound alerts and time correction

Although settings come with a default configuration, you can choose which prayers to be alerted of. What's more, a WAV file can be attributed to each event so you recognize each event by the sound it plays. There's also an option to set the alarm to trigger several minutes before the actual event so you can get ready.

Set up calculation methods and regional settings

Regional settings further help adjust time discrepancies and calculation methods. An integrated option allows you to specify your exact location, either by choosing from several drop-down menus or bringing up a browser with Google Maps at the press of a button.

In conclusion

To sum it up, The Athan Software is a handy application for Islamic communities that use the computer on a daily basis, with incredibly helpful configuration options so you're always on time. It can also come in handy for public domains in order to better alert a larger majority of people. Thanks to its low system requirements, it can run on a wide array of configurations.
