​
Play Adhan Settings

Configure which prayer times should trigger the adhan (call to prayer) notification. This is separate from the display settings - you can display a time without playing adhan, or vice versa.
The “Play Adhan At” settings are managed in the Prayer Times tab of settings, while notification timing is configured in the Alert Settings.
​
alert.fajr
boolean
default:"false"
Play adhan at Fajr prayer time.
​
alert.dhuhr
boolean
default:"false"
Play adhan at Dhuhr prayer time.
​
alert.asr
boolean
default:"false"
Play adhan at Asr prayer time.
​
alert.maghrib
boolean
default:"false"
Play adhan at Maghrib prayer time.
​
alert.isha
boolean
default:"false"
Play adhan at Isha prayer time.
Note that Sunrise does not have an adhan setting, as it is not a prayer time but rather marks the end of the Fajr prayer period.

​

  3. Under Show Prayer Times, check or uncheck the prayers you want to display
