The number of mobile apps available these days can be pretty overwhelming, so we've done some work and came up with a list of 9 apps that you'll definitely find handy to have on your mobile!

Here are some great apps you should have on your phone:

1. Muslim Pro

If there's only one app you should download on your phone, Muslim Pro would definitely be on top of that list. An app that's already widely used by Muslims around the world, Muslim Pro is the all-in-one app you're looking for if you want prayer times wherever you are, the Holy Quran with audio recitations by multiple reciters and translations in different languages, a Qibla compass, an Islamic calendar, a zakat calculator, the Fortress of the Muslim collection of dua and supplications, and the 99 Names of Allah for you to learn and memorize. You can even use the app to find halal restaurants and mosques around you, share your favourite Quranic verses with your loved ones, send Islamic greeting cards (definitely useful when Eid rolls around!) and check fasting times during Ramadan.

Download Muslim Pro from the iTunes App Store or Google Play.

2.  Quran Companion by Quran Academy

It should be the goal of every Muslim to deepen their relationship with the Quran, whether by increasing in memorisation or recitation of Surahs, or trying to understand its meaning. However, many of us let time pass us by without building a meaningful relationship with the book of Allah due to many reasons, from being too busy with other obligations to thinking that it's just too hard to memorise the Quran (I've definitely been guilty of this!).

That's where the Quran Companion app by Quran Academy comes in.

3.  PrayerTime.sg
