Understand the words you say in salah, phrase by phrase.
Write to us any time: loveykovl@gmail.com — or in the App: Profile → Write to us, which adds the App version for us. We usually answer within two days.
Three to five minutes on one phrase: listen to the recitation, read the meaning, tap each word or group of words to see what it means here, answer a short question, then recall the meaning without the translation and listen once more.
Al-Fatiha verse by verse and Āmīn; the other words of the prayer — the opening takbir, the opening supplication, seeking refuge, bowing, rising, prostration, between the prostrations, tashahhud, the prayer upon the Prophet ﷺ and the closing greeting; and short chapters often recited after Al-Fatiha (Al-ʿĀdiyāt to An-Nās).
Schools teach slightly different wordings. In My Prayer, swipe the wording you say and choose “My wording”; your path follows it. The same works for the opening supplication.
No. You listen to the recitation and repeat it yourself. Sakinah explains meanings; it does not judge prayer, pronunciation or which practice is correct.
Recordings download the first time you open a lesson and then play offline for up to 7 days. Check your connection and the silent switch, then tap the play button again. The words and meanings are always there to read. Some formulas of the prayer have no recording yet.
Prepared questions under each lesson are answered from the lesson itself, with sources. If you turned on AI answers, you can also type your own question: it goes through our server to an AI service that writes a short answer from the lesson’s material. Our server does not store your question. Turn AI answers on or off in Profile → Your data; “What’s shared” there explains exactly what is sent. Details: Privacy Policy.
Touch and hold the Lock Screen → Customize (and “Lock Screen” if asked) → tap the box under the clock → Sakinah → the wide widget → Done. In the App, Profile → “A phrase of your salah on your phone” plays a short guide and checks that the widget is there.
Touch and hold an empty spot → Edit → Add Widget → search “Sakinah” → choose a size → Add Widget → Done.
A phrase you have studied, with its meaning — a new one each day, saved phrases first. To keep one, open it in a lesson and tap “Keep on my widget”. Before your first lesson it shows the first phrase of Al-Fatiha.
