1. About these terms
These terms apply to use of the Al Huda iPhone app, alhudaprayer.com and Prayer Essentials.
2. Prayer calculations
Prayer times are calculations based on the selected location, civil time zone, calculation method, Asr convention, high-latitude rule, rounding and local offsets. Al Huda does not claim that one timetable is universally correct. Users should review their settings and compare results with the mosque, timetable or authority they trust.
3. Qibla guidance
The Qibla bearing is calculated mathematically from the selected location. Live heading guidance depends on device sensors that can be affected by magnetic fields, metal, cases, vehicles, buildings and electronics. Users should follow reliability warnings and use the static bearing when a live heading is not trusted.
4. Ramadan, Eid and religious information
Future Ramadan and Eid dates may be calculated or estimated and do not constitute a live local moon-sighting announcement. A date is not treated as source-backed confirmation until the user records that state. Al Huda is not a fatwa service and does not provide personal religious rulings.
5. Travel
Travel features provide location, time-zone, prayer-time and Qibla logistics. They do not determine religious rulings about shortening or combining prayers, fasting exemptions or in-flight practice. Seek qualified guidance appropriate to your circumstances.
6. Notifications
Notification delivery depends on iOS permissions, device state, system scheduling and the accuracy of the active prayer schedule. Al Huda cannot guarantee that every reminder will appear or play at a particular moment. Users remain responsible for checking the timetable and device settings they rely on.
7. Zakat estimates
Any Zakat result is an estimate based on user-provided values and is not a religious, legal, accounting, tax or financial ruling. Qualified guidance should be sought for individual circumstances.
8. Trials and purchases
Any App Store transaction is processed by Apple and is also subject to Apple’s terms, restoration and refund processes, and applicable consumer law.
9. Prayer Essentials and external services
Prayer Essentials publishes original editorial guidance. Affiliate destinations are clearly labelled and take the visitor to Amazon. Amazon—not Al Huda—is responsible for the listing, price, availability, payment, delivery and returns under the terms presented there.
10. Acceptable use
Do not misuse the app or site, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, distribute malicious code, scrape it in a manner that degrades service, or use its branding and content in a way that falsely implies endorsement or religious authority.
11. Intellectual property and content rights
Al Huda branding, interface design and original editorial content are intended to be protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Third-party marks and platform names belong to their respective owners.
12. Availability and changes
Features may change, and service may occasionally be interrupted, corrected or withdrawn.
13. Disclaimers and liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Al Huda is provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted availability, sensor perfection or universally identical religious calculations. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.
