Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source Islamic platform combining prayer times, Qibla, Quran and Adhkar with locally computed astronomy and an ad-free interface.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

Athar combines astronomical and religious reference material in one interface: its day/night boundary is computed from the current solar position, and its Islamic-calendar dates are generated locally from the current date. The page currently names the Aladhan API as the source for prayer values and shows a Quran verse beside an orbital-mechanics explanation. Its stated roadmap includes offline calculations, a Qibla compass, Mushaf and Adhkar resources, personal tracking, and a public API.
