Overview
Altaqwaa is a free and open-source Islamic application designed for Linux desktop users.
It offers several features that help Muslims practice their faith more easily.
The app includes the full text of the Holy Quran, along with audio recitations.
This makes it convenient to read or listen to the Quran on a computer running Linux.
In addition to the Quran, Altaqwaa provides a large collection of adhkar, which are daily Islamic prayers and remembrances.
Users can listen to audible notifications for both adhkar and prayer times.
This helps keep track of important moments of worship throughout the day.
Prayer times in Altaqwaa are calculated using the user’s location.
The app uses coordinates and time zones to determine accurate prayer schedules.
It supports multiple calculation methods, such as Umm Al-Qura and the Muslim World League.
This flexibility allows users to choose the method that best fits their region or school of thought.
Altaqwaa has a modern and easy-to-use interface, making it simple to navigate and customize settings based on personal needs.
However, it currently only supports the Arabic language, which may limit use for non-Arabic speakers.
Also, the software is only available for Linux, so Windows or macOS users cannot run it.
Overall, Altaqwaa is a useful tool for Linux users looking for a safe and open-source Islamic app that includes Quran text and audio, adhkar collections, and reliable prayer time notifications.
