Sadaqah jariyah · fi sabilillah

Know exactly what you owe. Then clear it.

Most people carry years of missed prayers without ever knowing the number. Qaza Tracker works it out for you, down to the last Fajr, then counts it down as you make them up. Prayers, prayers missed while travelling, fasts of Ramadan and sajdah tilawat, each counted on its own.

Free, and it will stay free. No adverts, nothing to buy, nothing sold.

This is sadaqah jariyah, and nothing else

There is no business here. No company, no adverts, no subscription, no premium version, no data sold to anybody, and nothing to gain in this world from any of it.

Why it was made

It is given fi sabilillah, for the sake of Allah alone, as a sadaqah jariyah. An ongoing charity that keeps giving after the giving stops.

Every prayer somebody makes up through this app is the point of it. That is the whole return being sought, and there is no other one.

Why sharing it matters

A sadaqah jariyah grows by reaching people. The more who know it exists, the more prayers get counted and cleared, and the more that reward is carried by everyone who had a hand in it.

Send it to your family. Send it to a friend. That is not a marketing request, it is the mechanism. It costs nothing and it may be worth more than anything else you do with the app.

The promises, plainly

  • Always free. No cost now, no cost later, no paid tier ever
  • No advertisements. None, of any kind, anywhere in it
  • First name, last name and email. Nothing else is collected
  • Your figures are never seen by anybody, the developer included
  • Always being improved, and it is your suggestions that do it

A number you cannot see is a number you never start

People put off their qaza for one reason above all others. They have no idea how big it is, so it feels endless. Give it a number and it stops being endless. It becomes something with a beginning, a middle and an end.

1

Tell it what you missed

Enter the dates, or simply the years, and tick which prayers. Add as many separate periods as you need. Change or remove any of them later.

2

See the real figure

The app does the arithmetic and splits the total across Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Witr, so you always know what is left of each.

3

Record as you pray

Tap once for each prayer you make up, or enter a batch at the end of the day. The total comes down and stays down.

Four things it counts, kept apart

A prayer is not a fast and a fast is not a sajdah. Each one has its own record, its own total and its own way of being cleared. They are never added together into one meaningless number.

Qaza namaz

Every obligatory prayer of the day, counted separately, because you will not make them up at the same rate.

FajrDhuhrAsr MaghribIshaWitr

Qasr qaza namaz

Prayers missed while travelling, on their own record. Dhuhr, Asr and Isha are made up shortened, however long afterwards you pray them. Fajr, Maghrib and Witr are made up in full.

Qaza roza

Fasts of Ramadan you did not keep. Counted in Ramadans, because that is how people remember them, and worked out on the Islamic calendar so the number of Ramadans is right rather than the number of ordinary years.

Sajdah tilawat

Sajdah tilawat that became due and were not performed. Fourteen fall in a complete recitation of the Quran. Because one becomes due on hearing the verse as well as reciting it, you can raise your figure at any time.

How each one is entered

Prayers and travel prayers come from the dates you missed. Fasts are added a Ramadan at a time, picked by the year you remember, with the days you missed of it. Sajdah come from completions of the Quran, a reading habit, or a figure you already know.

Every entry can be changed or removed later, and each of the four is recorded as done on its own.

Yours, and nobody else's

What you owe is between you and Allah. The app is built so that stays true.

What you owe is between you and Allah

Only you and the Almighty know what was missed. It is not ours to look at, and it is not ours to pass on.

So no figure of yours is visible to anyone, the developer included. The administration screen was rebuilt to remove every prayer figure from it.

Why the email is asked for

Two reasons only: to send you notifications from the app, and so you can reset your own password if you lose it. Without those two it would not be asked for at all.

It is not sold, not shared, not added to any list, and never used to market anything to you.

Backups nobody can read

Backups are encrypted as they are written. The server can create one but cannot open one. Only the private key held offline can.

Questions people ask

How do I work out how many prayers I have missed?

Enter the dates you missed and which prayers. The app multiplies the days by the prayers and gives you the total. Most people start with whole years, then adjust once they have thought about it properly. You can change it at any time.

What if I am not sure of the exact dates?

Estimate, and lean towards the larger figure. The point is to have a number you can work against rather than a perfect one. There is a manual adjustment if you later want to add or take some off.

Can anyone see how many prayers I owe?

No. Your figures are not shown to anyone, including the person who built the app. That was a deliberate decision, and the admin screen was rebuilt to remove every figure from it.

Does it cover missed fasts and sajdah tilawat?

Yes. Qaza roza and missed sajdah tilawat each have their own record alongside your prayers, with their own total and their own way of being cleared. Fasts are added a Ramadan at a time by the year you remember, and sajdah come from completions of the Quran, a reading habit, or a figure you already know.

Are the four counts added together?

Never. A prayer is not a fast and a fast is not a sajdah, so one combined figure would mean nothing. Qaza namaz, qasr qaza namaz, qaza roza and sajdah tilawat are each counted apart, shown apart and recorded apart.

Do prayers missed while travelling count differently?

A traveller shortens Dhuhr, Asr and Isha to two rakats, and those are made up shortened however long afterwards you pray them. Fajr, Maghrib and Witr are made up in full. Everything missed on a journey sits on its own travel record so it is never mixed in with the rest.

Is it really free, and will it stay free?

Yes to both. No cost, no adverts, no paid tier, nothing sold, and no intention of ever introducing any of those. It is given as sadaqah jariyah, so charging for it would defeat the entire purpose of building it.

Can I ask for a feature or a different colour scheme?

Please do. Nearly everything added since launch came from somebody using it and asking. If a screen is awkward, if a colour is hard on your eyes, if something is missing, say so through the contact form and it will be looked at properly.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in a browser. If you add it to your home screen it behaves like an installed app and works offline.

What happens to my record if I stop using it?

It stays where it is. Sign back in whenever you like and carry on from the same figure. Nothing is deleted for being inactive.

Start with the number

Two minutes to set up. Whatever the figure turns out to be, it is better known than carried. And when you have started, pass it to one other person.

The app itself is behind Login

These pages explain what Qaza Tracker is. The counting, the recording and your own figures all live in the app, which opens once you log in and stays open until you sign out.
