Reviewed by: CNET Staff on May 16, 2006
A modern aid for an ancient tradition, Athan Basic helps Muslims perform daily prayers anywhere in the world. On first start-up, you choose your location from a pull-down list of cities and towns. From there, Athan Basic runs in the background, automatically issuing the call to prayer at the appropriate times each day.
You can choose an Athan from Makkah, Madina, or Al-Aqsa (the for-pay version includes several more); the program supports the Standard and Hanafi juristic methods and a variety of ways to calculate sunrise and sunset. The neatly organized application window displays your latitude and longitude and a simple compass for orienting yourself toward Mecca.
If you're often far from your computer, you can print out prayer times for a month. Happily, the program doesn't take much system memory while running in the background. Straightforward and helpful, Athan Basic is a great download for observant Muslims.

Version: Athan (Azan) Basic 3
Pros: This program is excellent at every prayer time it says Azhan and also has a load of surahs but i think the people who made this should include more sueahs from the Holy Quran and also stories Of our prophet Muhammed(saw). This program was great!!!!! Adding on to that yeh i no theres loads of things but this one in particular this download also contains the times all over the world e.g if you live in london the time will be set for london times for Athan.
Cons: Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
