Our client needed a comprehensive and user-friendly app to assist pilgrims performing Hajj and Umrah. They wanted an end-to-end solution to address challenges such as complex rituals, multilingual accessibility, offline usability, and accurate built-in navigation to historical religious sites in Mecca and Medina. The app needed to cater to a diverse user base with varying levels of religious knowledge and technical expertise.
We developed a Hajj and Umrah Guide & Prayers app with robust features such as step-by-step Hajj & Umrah ritual instructions, educational notes, audio playback for essential Hajj & Umrah duas, and maps with navigation for locations of religious significance in Mecca and Medina. To address accessibility, the app includes offline support, multilingual resources, and customization options for font size and language preferences. Using cutting-edge tools like Swift, Kotlin, Google Maps API, and local caching systems, the app is designed to ensure a smooth user experience across Android, iOS, and web platforms.
The app has successfully simplified complex pilgrimage procedures and enhanced user engagement. By providing a clear and structured guide, it has allowed users to focus on their spiritual journey without logistical hurdles.

Pilgrims often find themselves in areas with little to no internet connectivity, making it challenging to access essential guides, maps, and books.
The rituals of Hajj and Umrah can be complex and overwhelming for many, especially for first-time pilgrims.
Navigating crowded and high-traffic areas around Mecca and Medina posed a significant challenge for users.
Catering to a diverse audience of varying ages, cultural backgrounds, and technical expertise required thoughtful UI design.
To address this, we implemented local caching and offline storage, ensuring that users could access critical resources, Hajj and Umrah steps and duas, without interruption during their pilgrimage.
We divided these procedures into manageable daily tasks, added visual aids for better comprehension, and provided audio guides for step-by-step clarity and simplicity.
We integrated the Google Maps API with real-time navigation and marked key landmarks, making it easier for pilgrims to find their way efficiently, even in high-traffic zones.
We tackled this by creating a minimalist and intuitive interface, featuring clear icons, high-contrast themes for visibility, and multilingual support to make the app accessible and inclusive for all users.
The Hajj and Umrah guide & prayers app offers a structured, step-by-step breakdown of pilgrimage rituals. The Umrah guide is divided into six individual cards, each highlighting essential acts with Arabic recitations, audio playback, and translations in over 60 languages. The Hajj guide follows a similar format but categorizes rituals using color-coded tags: Obligatory (Red), Essential (Yellow), Optional (Green), and General (Grey). Key topics are presented in a list below the steps, with links to the web platform for in-depth explanations.
Users can listen to essential duas in Arabic while reading their translations and transliterations in their preferred language. The audio playback ensures correct pronunciation, while the copy and share features allow users to save or distribute supplications easily. This functionality caters to both Arabic and non-Arabic speakers, making it effortless to learn and recite important prayers.
A detailed map highlights key Ziyarat (historical and religious sites) in Mecca, Medina, and surrounding areas. Users can tap on a location for historical insights and the latest images & pictures, and use built-in navigation for step-by-step directions.
Hajj and Umrah rituals are distinguished using an intuitive color-coded system, making it easier for users to understand their priority levels. Fard (obligatory) is marked in red, Wajib (essential) in yellow, Sunnah (recommended) in green, and General instructions in grey. This approach helps users quickly recognize the importance of each act, ensuring they do not miss crucial steps.
Pilgrims can download comprehensive guide books on Hajj and Umrah in multiple languages, ensuring access to essential knowledge even in areas with limited connectivity. These books cover everything from rituals to travel tips and historical insights for both men and women, allowing users to prepare thoroughly and reference personalized key information whenever needed.
To enhance accessibility, users can adjust the font size of text within the app and pinch the display to zoom in. This feature benefits aged users or those with vision impairments, ensuring a comfortable reading experience while following rituals, duas, and instructions.
Users can tweak their experience by customizing translation languages, dua recitation modes (Arabic-only or with translation), and visual settings.
Beyond guidance, the app provides rich educational content in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. It is further divided into seven sections: Introduction, Hajj History, Benefits and Virtues, Differences Between Hajj and Umrah, Types of Hajj, Preparing for Hajj, and Meeqat. This structured knowledge base helps users understand the spiritual, historical, and procedural aspects of their pilgrimage, enriching their journey with deeper meaning and clarity.
The Hajj and Umrah Guide & Prayers app is now fully operational, providing pilgrims with step-by-step rituals, dua playback with translations, color-coded instructions, and navigation for Ziyarat locations. Offline access and support for 60+ languages ensure accessibility worldwide. The inclusion of educational content verified by scholars further enriches the user experience. Post-launch, the app has seen a significant rise in engagement, with users praising its clarity, ease of use, and customization options. It continues to set a benchmark for accessible, user-friendly Islamic tools, empowering millions to perform their pilgrimage with confidence and accuracy.
