See everything Khatib does, from the community for Muslims to prayer, Quran and safety.
In Arabic, a khatib is the one who stands before the community and delivers the khutbah, the Friday sermon. The word comes from the root kh‑ṭ‑b, meaning to address, to speak with purpose. A khatib guides, reminds, and encourages.
Khatib the app carries that same role into your day. He greets you as a Muslim, keeps your prayer times, walks you through Ramadan, teaches the Quran, and helps with everything else in life: money, family, health, work, your home, your car, and any question you have.

While traveling, you may shorten Dhuhr, Asr and Isha to 2 rak'ahs each (Fajr stays 2, Maghrib stays 3), and many scholars allow combining Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha (An-Nisa 4:101).
Most scholars apply this for trips of roughly 80 km (50 miles) or more. They differ on the exact distance and on how many days of staying still count as travel. Ask your imam for your school's view.
The adhan plays at the exact start of each prayer for , using your calculation method and daylight saving time. Fajr uses the Fajr adhan, which adds as-salatu khayrun min an-nawm (prayer is better than sleep).
There is no adhan for tahajjud. It is a voluntary prayer, so Khatib wakes you with a gentle alarm instead, so no one in your home mistakes it for the Fajr adhan. The last third of the night is counted from Maghrib (sunset prayer) to Fajr (dawn prayer).
During menstruation and after childbirth, a woman does not pray or fast. Missed prayers are not made up, but missed Ramadan fasts are. Log your break days here; only you can see them.
If a break falls in Ramadan, Khatib adds the missed days to your fasts to make up.
Each masjid sets its own khutbah time. Most hold it at or shortly after Dhuhr, and many hold two sessions. Confirm with your local masjid.
Join a live Friday khutbah streamed by masajid around the world. Search by masjid or city, or browse what's live right now.
Most scholars teach that Jumu'ah must be prayed in person, in congregation at a masjid, for those it is required of. Watching live is a blessing for those who can't attend, such as the sick, travelers, and others excused, and for anyone who wants to hear more khutbahs. Pray Dhuhr if you did not attend Jumu'ah.
Many masajid stream and record their Friday khutbah. Pick a Friday to find recordings from that date.

The Quran is the word of Allah, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ over 23 years. For a Muslim it is not only a book to read; it is guidance for every part of life.
Even a few verses a day, read with understanding, can change how you see your life. Start small and stay consistent.

Start with the short surahs most people learn first. Every surah below opens with its meaning, and links to the full Arabic text and recitation.
The Quran is divided into 30 equal parts (juz). Read or listen to one a day and you complete the whole Quran in a month, the way many do in Ramadan.
Muslims recite these passages to seek Allah's protection from evil, from harmful spirits, from magic, and from the evil eye and envy. Protection comes from Allah alone; the Quran is a healing and a mercy for believers (Al-Isra 17:82).
How to use them: recite them yourself with sincerity, morning and evening, before sleep, or over someone who is unwell. Many people blow lightly into their palms after reciting and wipe over their body.
The opening of the Quran, a complete prayer for help and guidance.
Three short surahs recited three times each for protection. Al-Falaq asks Allah's protection from darkness, from magic (those who blow on knots), and from the envier when he envies, which includes the evil eye. An-Nas asks protection from the whisperer, from among jinn and people.
Many scholars explain these verses as referring to the harm of envious looks, the evil eye.
▶ ListenTrust in Allah, keep up your prayers and remembrance, and avoid anyone who sells charms or asks for money to remove curses. If you or someone you love is struggling with health or mental health, see a doctor too; seeking treatment is part of trusting Allah.
Why know them? Allah says: to Allah belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them (Al-A'raf 7:180). He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; to Him belong the most beautiful names (Al-Hashr 59:24). Call upon Allah or call upon Ar-Rahman; whichever you call, to Him belong the most beautiful names (Al-Isra 17:110).
The list most Muslims recite. Scholars note that Allah has more names than these 99.

Intention: make the intention to fast each night before Fajr.
Suhoor: eat and drink before Fajr, until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black thread (Al-Baqarah 2:187).

People who are ill, traveling, pregnant, nursing, elderly, or have a health condition may be excused from fasting. Talk to your doctor and your imam.
A Muslim is one who submits to Allah. The word Islam comes from the Arabic root s‑l‑m, which carries the meanings of submission and peace: peace with Allah, with yourself, and with others.
Ihsan, excellence: doing everything in the best way, knowing Allah sees you. Allah loves those who do good (Al-Baqarah 2:195).
Character: Allah praises the Prophet ﷺ for his great character (Al-Qalam 68:4), and calls on believers to speak kindly to people (Al-Baqarah 2:83).
Becoming Muslim is simple. It begins with believing in your heart and declaring the Shahada, the testimony of faith.
A nikah is a simple, blessed contract. Most scholars list these essentials:
Your imam will guide you through the details for your community. Many masajid can perform the nikah and help with paperwork.
Dates follow the Umm al‑Qura calendar. Your local masjid may differ by a day based on moon sighting.
Reminders pop up while Khatib is open. For prayer times, use Adhan & alarms, which can ring even when Khatib is closed in the Android app.
Zakat is 2.5% of savings you have held for one lunar year, once they are above the nisab.
Some scholars use the gold nisab (85 g) instead. For business or complex assets, ask a scholar.
