As each year passes, the debate about technology and its damaging effect on religion and faith keeps growing bigger and bigger. However, social media figure Emkwan is here to illustrate how the former can be used to strengthen the latter by reviewing his must-have iOS and Android apps that will only reinforce your spirituality during the holy month of Ramadan.
Pillars
According to Emkwan, this application is perfect for those who find it hard to adhere to fixed Islamic prayer times. With a notification feature and a widget available for iOS users, Pillars even offers a Qiblah feature to make sure you can fulfill spiritual duty no matter where you are.
Daily Deeds
While this app also pushes users to get into the habit of prayer, it also drives them to consider why exactly they are forming these habits and following a fixed routine. The following snaps provided on the App Store gives an overview of what this app can do for you:
iQuran & GoldenQuran
These two smartphone applications will make sure your Quran never leaves your side throughout the fasting season. While they share the same function of giving you access to the Quran at all times as well as translations and explanations, Emkwan sets the two apart by recommending iQuran for iOS users and GoldenQuran for those who have a stronger knowledge of the Arabic language.
Quranly
Reciting the Quran is now easier with this new technology. Set your target with Quranly to determine how much of the Quran you’d like to recite every day and keep track of your progress through creative graphics and user interfaces.
ShareTheMeal
ShareTheMeal is here to facilitate the process of donation, giving anyone the opportunity to easily extend a helping hand to others during this sacred period. Available on both iOS and Android, you can use this app to donate to different causes and secure other people’s meals.
Zakat Pro
Available only on iOS, Zakat Pro is exactly what you need to understand how much Zakat you need to be giving based on your earnings and possessions; just add in all of your information and let it do the calculations for you.
QuranMajeed
While you won’t hear about this app in Emkwan’s video, the digital creator did include it later on in the comments section, stating:
One Quran app I SHOULD have included is QuranMajeed – you can gift qurans, multiple reciters, tasbih, clean user interface and much more.
