About Dawām
Built for the small deeds that last.
دَوَام means constancy. The name comes from a hadith that shaped everything about the app:
“The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if small.”
Why it exists
Most prayer apps want something back. Your attention, for the adverts between the prayer times. Your location, sent to a server. Your card, for the features that matter. For an app you open five times a day to worship, that felt like the wrong bargain.
Dawām was built on a simpler idea: an app for worship should be as calm as the prayer it serves. It gives you the times, the qibla, the Quran, hadith and adhkar, and then it gets out of the way.
No adverts, ever
Nothing on the screen is selling anything. When you open the app to pray or to read, that is all it asks of you.
Private by design
There is no account to make. Prayer times and the qibla are worked out on your phone, and your location stays there.
Careful with the sources
Quran, hadith and duas come from published collections. Every narration carries its source and the grade that source gives it.
Who makes it
Dawām is designed, built and looked after by Asheri Musa, an independent developer in Uganda. It is published by Ekale Investments Ltd.
There is no marketing team and no investor waiting for a return. Every decision is made for the people who use the app, and nobody else. When you write to support, the person who reads it is the person who writes the code.
How it stays free
Free to you is not free to make. Dawām has real costs: the Apple developer membership, hosting for the mushaf pages and the adhan recordings, phones to test on, and many hours of work every week.
It will never be paid for with your data or your attention. It is carried by people who find it useful and choose to give, so that it stays free for everyone else.
Giving online is paused for now
We are moving donations to a new payment service. Until it is ready, if you would like to help, write to us and we will reply with a way to give.
[email protected]Giving is never needed to use any part of the app, and nothing in the app changes when you do. If you give with the intention of helping others worship, may Allah accept it from you.
Other ways to help
Tell someone
Most people find Dawām because a friend showed it to them. Send the link to someone who would use it.
Leave a review
A few honest words on the store help the next person decide, and help the app reach people who are looking for it.
Say what to fix
A wrong time, a typo in a translation, something that could be simpler: write in. Every message is read.
Jazakum Allahu khayran for being part of it.
