The right dua, at the right moment.
Maw’izah means gentle counsel. The name is taken from the Quran, 10:57 and 16:125.
There was a thunderstorm over Toronto one Saturday and I realised I couldn’t remember what we’re meant to say when it comes, I knew there was something, I just couldn’t hold onto it in the moment I needed it. So I kept thinking there had to be an easier way to remember. That’s where Mawiza came from.
Sometimes we remember and sometimes we forget, and a small nudge at the right time turned out to be all I needed, at least in my case.
Picks one dua for the moment, based on the time of day, the prayer windows, mealtimes and, if you turn it on, the weather. It shows why it picked that one.
Every dua shows its source: surah and ayah for the Quran, or collection, number and grading for hadith.
Prayer times, the Qibla bearing and the Hijri date are calculated on your phone from your location. You choose the calculation method and can adjust each prayer by minutes.
Each reminder is off until you turn it on. Adhkar and weather reminders keep to your quiet hours and a daily cap, and there are no streaks. Prayer bells you turn on are scheduled at prayer time, through quiet hours.
Every dua carries a citation you can check against the original.
Each of the 99 Names shows its source review: what was checked and the sources consulted.
There is no account and no Mawiza server. Favourites, progress and settings are stored on your phone, and leave it only inside your own device or iCloud backup, if your backup settings include app data.
Weather is the only feature that makes a network request. It is off until you turn it on, and it sends your coordinates to Open-Meteo. Your phone’s own geocoder may also send your coordinates to its provider to show a city name. The privacy page lists every outbound request.
Mawiza is on the App Store for iPhone. The Android version is in development.
