About Haider

Haider is a free companion app for the Shia community, offering prayer times, the Qibla direction, duas, ziyarat and an Islamic calendar.

Religious content

Duas, translations and explanations are taken from established sources (listed on the Sources page) and provided in good faith. Translations and explanations are aids to understanding and do not replace the Arabic text.

Haider does not issue religious rulings. For questions of fiqh, please follow your marja‘ and consult a qualified scholar.

Prayer times, Qibla and dates

Prayer times are calculated astronomically using the Ja'fari (Leva Institute, Qum) method and may differ by a few minutes from your local mosque or marja's timetable. The Qibla direction depends on your phone's compass, which can be affected by magnets, metal and calibration.

Hijri dates are calculated with the Umm al-Qura calendar and may differ by a day from local moon sighting.

Please use your own judgement, especially near the start or end of a prayer time or fast.

Your account and conduct

You are responsible for the information you enter. Profile photos must be respectful and appropriate.

Do not misuse the app, attempt to interfere with how it works, or use it for anything unlawful.

Notifications

Alerts and reminders rely on your phone’s settings, battery saving and permissions. We cannot guarantee that every notification will arrive on time.

Availability and liability

Haider is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. We work hard to keep it accurate and available, but we are not liable for any loss arising from its use, to the extent permitted by law.

Changes and contact

We may update the app and these terms. Continuing to use Haider after a change means you accept the updated terms.
