Why people choose Elif
No ads at all. Most free Islamic apps fund themselves with banners and interstitials. Elif shows none — the Qur'an, duas and dhikr screens open clean.
Your location stays on your phone. Prayer time and qibla maths run on the device, so your location is never sent to a server, and your data is never sold.
One app instead of five. Prayer, Qur'an, qibla, dhikr, duas and learning live together rather than scattered across separate apps.
Answers with sources. Ask Elif shows the verse, hadith or classical text an answer rests on, instead of an unattributed opinion.

What is "Ask Elif"?
An AI assistant that answers religious questions in plain language and shows the verse, hadith or classical source the answer relies on. It follows the Ahl al-Sunnah tradition and lets you choose the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki or Hanbali madhhab. It is not a fatwa authority — for binding rulings, consult a qualified scholar.
