Want to be a good Muslim? There’s an App for that
A fellow blogger, and actually one of the reasons I came to recognise and love blogging, Bandar Raffah is a very talented artists (check out his artwork on flickr and picasa) and now an iPhone application designer who designed the interface for the award winning 2Do app, has came out with a new free iPhone and iPod Touch app that allows a Muslim to keep track of his/her daily prayers and good deeds using an iPhone or an iPod Touch, he asks in his post about the QamarDeen app “if I ask you what you ate yesterday you would probably not know” and he goes on to explain the main reason for why they designed the iPhone app.
The app serves to tell a person how well they’ve been praying this week (time wise that is), how regularly they’ve been reading the Quran, and how steadily they’ve been fasting. With how popular the “keep track of what you eat” or “how well have you been exercising” or track where you’ve been and tell the world with applications on the iPhone like Gowalla or Foursquare, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with an iPhone app like this, and I am glad it was Bandar who did it, because no one could’ve done it better or made it more beautiful than Bandar Raffah, and you do not have to take my word for it, just check out the design for other iPhone applications and you would know what I mean.
Bandar has a cousin named Yousef Raffah who is a talented photographer and was one of the people I consulted before buying my DSLR camera last year. I wish them the best, and know that there will be more good stuff coming from them in the future.
The app was a made by Batoul Apps, you can checkout their other iPhone apps by clicking on the image above

I just took a deep breath, both sexes have been looking for an answer for that question, once they answer it, I am sure someone will make an app for that, and then both your wife and mine (and every woman in the world) would buy them for us (and their husbands)
Thanks for your comment

Wouldn’t a good Muslim make a good husband by effort?

Hning, with all your anti marriage posts… I am thinking this is a trick question

What a great application, and beautifully designed. Nice to see 2 talented brothers, who must enjoy having a shared interest.
As to the marital app, interesting concept. I assume it would include the ability to put in specific “concerns” and monitor progress on specific “goals”. The marital therapy possibilities are interesting, not to mention the conjugal ones!

You should definitely give “Muslim Pro†a try (iPhone app).
http://itunes.apple.com/app/muslim-pro-prayer-time-notifications/id388389451?mt=8
It comes with prayer time calculations (most methods/conventions are supported), muslim holidays, Qibla compass and Adhan notifications.
It’s got great ratings and ranks in the top 10 free iPhone apps in countries like Egypt, Pakistan, Tunisia, etc…
