Miqat: Prayer Times, Qibla, and Hilal Visibility

Welcome to Miqat, the ultimate app for accurate prayer times, Qibla direction, and hilal visibility. Miqat is designed with precision calculations and user-friendly features that set it apart from other applications.

Prayer Times

• Miqat utilizes high-accuracy formulas to calculate prayer times with millisecond precision.
• The Advanced Calculations feature takes into account atmospheric pressure, temperature, and device elevation above sea level to provide even more accurate prayer times and hilal visibility for users residing in skyscrapers and mountains.
• Miqat offers multiple methods for calculating prayer times in regions near the north and south poles where certain indicators may be missing.

Qibla

• Miqat employs high-accuracy formulas to determine the Qibla direction based on the true shape of the Earth.
• The Qibla Map feature displays Qibla direction on an interactive map, allowing users to visually verify the direction relative to nearby landmarks and streets.
• The 3D Qibla feature offers an augmented reality view of the Qibla in real-world environments, including the ability to virtually navigate inside the Grand Mosque using a 360-degree panorama. Users can also determine the Qibla direction relative to celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets.
• Miqat promptly alerts users if abnormal magnetic fields are detected since mobile compasses can be easily influenced by nearby metallic objects or magnetic fields, leading to inaccuracies in determining the Qibla direction.

Hilal Visibility

• Miqat calculates the first visibility of the hilal (crescent moon) from the user's location, allowing for precise determination of the start and end of Hijri months, including significant events like Ramadan and Eid.
• Users can simulate the initial moment of hilal visibility interactively with visual aids.
• Miqat presents real-time information about the Moon, including its age, illumination, and phases.
