Description
IstiqamahBN is a prayer times companion built for Muslims everywhere — with deep roots in Brunei Darussalam. Prayer times are sourced from the right authority for your location: MORA in Brunei, JAKIM in Malaysia, MUIS in Singapore, Kemenag in Indonesia, and a verified calculation method anywhere else. A small source chip on the prayer screen always tells you which authority's times you're seeing.

What's new (v1.3)
A big update — IstiqamahBN now travels with you.
Worldwide prayer times
The app now picks the right authority for your location automatically: MORA in Brunei, JAKIM in Malaysia, MUIS in Singapore, Kemenag in Indonesia, and a verified calculation method anywhere else. A small chip under the prayer list always tells you which source today's times came from.
Musaffir (traveller) mode
When you travel about 88 km or more from home, the app detects it and shows clear Musaffir guidance — so you know when shortening prayers applies. Travel within Brunei never triggers it.
Jamak & Qasar guide
A new built-in guide explaining when and how to combine or shorten prayers, written plainly so you can decide with confidence on the road.
Manual location override
Travelling, on a flight, or want times for another city? Pick any place manually from Settings and the entire app — including your widgets — follows along.
Share card
Tap share on the prayer screen to generate a clean, image-style card with today's prayer times. Easy to send in WhatsApp or save to Photos.
First-run onboarding
A friendlier setup the first time you open the app, with a searchable city picker covering Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and major worldwide cities.
UI refresh
Cleaner, more consistent typography and spacing across iPhone, Apple Watch, and widgets.
Plus: smaller fixes to widget refresh and Brunei district auto-detection.
