Quran verse and prayer times for iPhone
A verse every time you look.
Seccade puts the verse of the day and the time left until the next prayer on your Lock Screen: a quiet reminder every time you pick up your phone. Inside are the Holy Quran with translation and the duas of the Quran.

Lock Screen and Home Screen
Pick up your phone, see the verse of the day.
Seccade does its real work outside the app: a verse on your Lock Screen, the next prayer and the time left above the clock, and a verse card with a thin gold frame on your Home Screen. The verse changes every day and the countdown runs on its own.
To add it to your Lock Screen
- 1Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then tap Customize.
- 2Choose the Lock Screen and tap the area below the clock.
- 3Find Seccade and add the verse or prayer widget.
Where the name comes from
A seccade is a prayer rug, the small carpet kept in a corner of the home and unrolled for prayer.
It is laid out five times a day and makes you pause for a moment. The app keeps that place on your phone: the verse of the day on your Lock Screen and the next prayer above the clock, with a different verse every day.
Prayer times
The next prayer and the time left.
Times are calculated on your phone with the Diyanet method, with no internet needed. The countdown shows the time left to the next prayer to the second, and the line beneath it moves from one prayer to the next.
- Your current location or a city from the list
- Reminders for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha
- Hijri date and a live countdown
The Holy Quran
All 114 surahs, with translation.
The Arabic text with the Pickthall translation beneath it. Seccade remembers where you stopped; save the verses you love and share any of them.
