Terms of Service

Application: Noor: Quran & Prayer Times  |  Package ID: com.orbittechlab.noor  |  Developer: Orbit Tech Lab  |  Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Noor: Quran & Prayer Times ("Noor" or "the Application"), developed by Orbit Tech Lab ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the Application.

2. Scope of Service

Noor is an offline-capable Islamic worship companion designed to assist users in their daily spiritual practice. Features include:

  • Reading the Holy Quran with Uthmani Arabic script and scholarly translations (Urdu and English).
  • Calculating solar prayer times (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) and providing Azan alert reminders.
  • Real-time magnetic Qibla direction compass indicating the bearing and distance to the Holy Kaaba in Makkah.
  • Authentic duas and adhkar from verified compilations (Hisn al-Muslim, 40 Hadith of Imam an-Nawawi, 99 Names of Allah, 6 Kalimas).
  • Digital tasbeeh counter with haptic feedback.
  • Zakat calculator and Islamic Hijri calendar.

The Application is designed to operate primarily offline and does not require registration or maintenance of an online user account.

3. Prayer-Time Calculation Disclaimer

Important Note on Accuracy: Prayer times and Qibla bearings in Noor are calculated mathematically using established astronomical algorithms (powered by the Batoul Apps Adhan library) based on your coordinates.

Because local geographical elevation, atmospheric conditions, horizon visibility, and individual mosque conventions can vary, calculated prayer times may differ by several minutes from your local mosque announcement.

Users are advised to review the calculation parameters in Settings > Prayer settings (Calculation method: Karachi, MWL, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian; Asr juristic school: Hanafi or Shafi'i) and apply manual minute offsets to match their local community timetable.

Hijri Calendar & Moon Sighting: Hijri calendar dates are calculated astronomically based on the Umm al-Qura calendar. Actual religious observances (such as Ramadan and Eid) are determined by physical moon sightings according to your local religious authority and may differ by ±1 day. Users can apply a ±1 day offset in Settings > Prayer settings.
