Somebody in the family asks every day. Sometimes it is a parent who would rather not go hunting through a website, sometimes it is the group chat, and the answer is always the same shape — five times, for today, for one city. Replying one message at a time works until roughly the third day. What actually settles it is sending the whole month at once, in a form the other person can keep. IbadahApp gives you both halves of that: a full monthly table you can save as an image, and a page that survives being forwarded. Here is how to get it out the door.

IbadahApp

There is nothing to install and no account to create, which is the whole reason this is sendable at all. Think about who is on the receiving end — an aunt, a grandfather, someone who is perfectly capable of opening a message and considerably less interested in being talked through an app store. What lands in their chat is a web address. They tap it, the prayer times for their city are on the screen, and that is the end of the interaction. No sign-up, no permissions dialogue on their side, nothing for you to walk them through over the phone afterwards. The qibla finder on the same site works on the same terms, so there is nothing to set up there either.

The monthly table is the other half. IbadahApp lays out every day of the current month with all five times, and gives you two ways to take it with you: copy it as text, or save it as a JPG. The image is the version that travels best — it drops into a family group like a photo, it stays legible when somebody scrolls back to it a fortnight later, and nobody has to be online to read it. One picture covers thirty days of the question you have been answering individually.

Worth knowing before you send: the same page also carries the Qibla direction. Whoever opens your link gets the times and the direction together, so if the person you are sending to has just moved, or is somewhere unfamiliar, they are not coming back an hour later to ask which way to face. You sent one thing and it answered two questions, which is the difference between this and a screenshot of a timetable. It also means the link keeps earning its place after the month you sent it for — the times refresh on their own, and the direction is there whenever they need it again.

To do it: open the islamic prayer times page by clicking Prayer Times in the menu, allow location or search for the city, then use Copy Text or Save as JPG on the monthly table and send it.

QuranTime

QuranTime is the other browser-based option, and on the sharing question it takes a different route. Prayer information goes out to WhatsApp in one tap, straight from the page — no intermediate step of saving a picture and then finding it in your gallery. Open it and the countdown to the next prayer sits on the first screen along with the Qibla direction; it also carries the Hijri calendar converter and Quran reading. 

That one-tap route is why you would choose it when WhatsApp is where your family actually lives. The flow matters more than it sounds: saving an image, switching apps, locating the file and attaching it is four steps, and four steps is enough friction that people stop doing it after the second month. A single tap from the page into the chat is a thing you will still be doing in June. 

The detail that pays off later is Add to Home Screen. Once the person you sent it to has the page open, they can put a shortcut on their own home screen, and from then on they are not digging back through the chat history to find your message. That is the quiet upgrade from "you sent me the times" to "I have the times" — and it happens on their phone without anything being installed, which keeps the whole exchange as low-effort as it started. For a relative who asks daily, that shortcut is worth more than any single month's table. 

Aladhan.com

Aladhan.com is a non-profit prayer-time service that takes coordinates, a city or a plain address, and will generate a monthly calendar from any of them. It also publishes a free API that handles something in the order of 60 million requests a day, which is why a good deal of what you see elsewhere is quietly running on its numbers. 

Reach for it if what you want to do with the timetable is more technical than forwarding it — pull the month into a spreadsheet, put the times on a community website, feed them into something you have built. As a thing to send to a relative it is less convenient: the page is laid out for querying rather than for sharing, so getting an image out of it means taking a screenshot yourself. 

Mawaqit

Mawaqit works from the opposite direction. Its timetables are not calculated for you — they are published by the mosques themselves, which means they include the iqamah times, the moment the congregation actually stands up, not just the adhan. You can follow a particular mosque and keep its schedule to hand. 

This is the right answer when the people you are sending to all attend the same mosque. No calculated table can tell them when the jamaah begins; that mosque's own entry can. The limitation is coverage — it depends on mosques having signed up, and where yours has not, you fall back to estimated times and lose the one advantage you came for. Worth checking whether your mosque is listed before you build a habit around it. 

Inner Light

Inner Light, formerly Salati, is an Android app, and its answer to the daily question is a home screen widget: the prayer times and the countdown sit on the phone's main screen, visible without opening anything. Adhan reminders can be set per prayer, with a lead time of up to twenty minutes. 

Suggest it when the person you are sending to is willing to install something. The widget solves the problem more permanently than any monthly image can — they stop needing to look anything up at all. The two approaches sit well together: send the link now so they have today covered, and if they take to it, the widget means next month's question never gets asked. 

Before You Send It 

Check the city before you save. The table on IbadahApp: Islamic Tools is generated for wherever the page thinks you are, and if you are sending times to a relative in another country, the month you just saved is the month for your city, not theirs. Search their city first, then save. 

Save a fresh one at the turn of the month. The table covers the current month only, so a picture sent in March is out of date on the first of April — and an out-of-date timetable is worse than none, because nobody thinks to question it. 

And mention the iqamah gap when you send it. The times on any calculated table are the adhan; congregations usually begin ten to twenty minutes later, and that varies by mosque. Saying so once, in the same message, saves the follow-up question about why the table and the mosque disagree.
