A Qur’an widget for your iPhone Lock Screen

What the widget shows

Tevekkul Vakti splits your day into six moments around your prayer times: Fajr, morning (from sunrise to Dhuhr), Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Each moment has its own ayah. The widget shows the ayah for the moment you are in, and when the next moment begins it changes on its own. You do not have to open the app.

• Lock Screen: rectangular, circular and inline widgets. Free.
• Home Screen: the small widget is free; the medium and large ones, with room for the whole ayah and its meaning, come with Premium.
• StandBy: the Home Screen widgets also appear when your iPhone is charging on its side.

Add it to your Lock Screen

1. Install Tevekkul Vakti and open it once, so it can work out your prayer times.
2. Lock your iPhone, then touch and hold the Lock Screen until Customize appears.
3. Tap Customize, then Lock Screen.
4. Tap the widget area under the clock and find Tevekkul in the list.
5. Choose the rectangular widget for the ayah, or the circular one for the moment, and tap Done.

Add it to your Home Screen

1. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
2. Tap Edit and then Add Widget (on iOS 17, tap the + in the corner).
3. Search for Tevekkul, swipe to the size you want and tap Add Widget.

If the widget doesn’t change

iOS decides exactly when widgets refresh, so a new moment can take a minute or two to appear. If the widget shows the wrong moment for longer, open the app once: it updates your prayer times and the widget with them. If your prayer times themselves are off, see prayer times in Support.

The text on the widget

The Arabic is the Uthmani script (Hafs). The meaning is in your app language: English (Saheeh International), Turkish (Diyanet Vakfı), Indonesian (Kementerian Agama RI) or Albanian (Sherif Ahmeti). If you set the app to show the meaning first, the widget does the same.
