What Arkaan is
Arkaan is a Muslim companion app for personal use. It offers prayer times and the adhan, the Qibla, the Quran with translation, tafsir and recitation, duas, adhkar and hadith, Ramadan tools, a daily Quran goal, a prayer tracker, and Home and Lock Screen widgets. Some features need Arkaan Pro.
Your licence
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use Arkaan on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use.
You may not:
- copy, modify or distribute the app or its content, except as the licences of that content allow;
- reverse engineer the app or try to extract its source code;
- use the app for a commercial purpose, or sell or sublicense access to it;
- interfere with the app's operation or security, or use it unlawfully.
Prayer times and Ramadan
Prayer times are calculated from your location using established methods such as Umm Al-Qura, Muslim World League, ISNA and the Egyptian General Authority. The results depend on the accuracy of your device's location, the method and madhab you choose, and your Hijri offset.
We don't guarantee that the times match a particular mosque or religious authority. You are responsible for choosing the method that suits your area and for checking with a trusted local source when it matters.
Suhoor and iftar times are the calculated Fajr and Maghrib times. In Ramadan mode, the days follow the calculated Hijri date and your Hijri offset, and may differ from the start of Ramadan announced where you live. Follow your local announcement.
The Qibla
The Qibla bearing is calculated from your coordinates. How closely the display follows it depends on your device's compass and its calibration. Where precision matters, check the direction against another reliable source.
Quran, hadith and adhkar
The Quran text, its translation and tafsir, the adhkar, and the hadith with their explanations are provided for reference and devotion. They come from the sources credited below, and we don't edit the text taken from them. We have made reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but we don't warrant the correctness of any translation, explanation or reference. The daily themes and suggested deeds in the Ramadan 30 programme are our own text.
For scholarly or legal religious matters, please consult qualified scholars. Quran recitation streams from our content server and needs an internet connection.
Arkaan Pro

Arkaan Pro currently unlocks:

Plans
- Yearly: an auto-renewing subscription billed once a year. Eligible new subscribers start with a 7-day free trial.
- Monthly: an auto-renewing subscription billed every month, with no free trial.
- Lifetime: a one-time purchase that doesn't renew. It includes every Pro feature available today. Future features that run on our servers, such as AI features, will need a subscription and aren't included in Lifetime.
Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country and currency.
Free trial
- The 7-day free trial is available on the Yearly plan to people who are eligible under App Store rules (generally one trial per Apple Account).
- You are not charged during the trial. When it ends it becomes a paid Yearly subscription and you are charged the yearly price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
- If you cancel during the trial you are not charged, and Pro stops when the trial ends, or earlier if the App Store ends it when you cancel.
- Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription before it ends.
Billing and renewal
- Purchases are billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Payment is charged to your store account when you confirm the purchase or, with the free trial, when the trial ends.
- A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- If a subscription price changes, Apple or Google tells you in advance as their rules require.
How to cancel
- iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose Arkaan Pro and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Android: open Google Play, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Cancelling stops the next renewal, and Pro stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.
Restoring purchases
If you reinstall the app or move to a new device, tap Restore Purchases in the app while signed in with the same Apple or Google account.
Earlier Pro purchases
If you bought Arkaan Pro before version 1.3, when it was sold as a one-time purchase, you keep Pro for life at no extra cost, including the features added since. There is nothing you need to do; on a new device, use Restore Purchases. As with Lifetime, future features that run on our servers, such as AI features, will need a subscription.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies, and we can't process them ourselves. Unused parts of a subscription period are not refunded, except where the law or the store's policy requires it.
