About AskUmmah

AskUmmah gives clear, simple answers to everyday questions about Muslim life: prayer times, Ramadan and Islamic dates, and the meanings of common Islamic phrases.

How we keep things accurate

• Prayer times use established calculation methods and are checked against published timetables.
• Quran and hadith references are checked against quran.com and sunnah.com, and every page links to its sources.
• Every page shows when it was last reviewed. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.

We explain meanings, practice and dates. We do not issue religious rulings; for personal religious questions, please consult a qualified scholar.
