Frequently Asked Questions

Muslims.co.uk is a UK-focused Islamic resource built to provide useful information, free tools, and community-focused content for Muslims across the United Kingdom.

No. The tools are designed to work without sign-up, without accounts, and without storing your personal tool data on the Muslims.co.uk server.

Yes. The tools on Muslims.co.uk are provided free to use. Support is optional and helps with hosting, maintenance, and future development.

They are stored in your own browser or on your own device only. This includes things like saved prayer settings, favourite duas, calendar bookmarks, 99 Names progress, Quran tracker progress, and similar tool preferences.

No. The Islamic tools are designed to run in your browser, and the saved data for those tools is not uploaded to the Muslims.co.uk server in normal use.

Because the saved data stays on your own device, you remove it through your own browser or device settings. Clearing site data, browser storage, or cache may remove saved tool settings and progress.

Some tools can use your location if you choose to allow it, especially prayer times and Qibla tools. That location is used to perform calculations in your browser. If a tool offers a postcode lookup, it may use a lookup service to convert the postcode into coordinates, but Muslims.co.uk does not keep that saved on its server as part of normal tool use.

The prayer times tool calculates times in your browser using solar astronomy, your chosen location, your selected method, and the date. It works out sunrise, Dhuhr, Maghrib, and the twilight-based times for Fajr and Isha directly on your device.

This is most common for Fajr and Isha. Different mosques and organisations may use different twilight angles, seasonal adjustments, or juristic conventions, especially in the UK summer. The tool is designed to let you choose a method that better matches your local mosque, but if you are unsure you should follow your local mosque.

At high latitudes, especially in parts of the UK during summer, the sun may not descend far enough below the horizon for a simple observational dawn or nightfall calculation. That means scholars and timetables use accepted conventions to estimate Fajr and Isha, which is why differences appear.

The site is a helpful guide, but for important acts of worship such as Ramadan fasting times you should confirm timings with your local mosque or a timetable you trust, especially where there are local method differences.

The Qibla Finder calculates the direction from your location to the Kaaba in Makkah. On supported phones it can also use your device compass for a live direction view. Compass accuracy can vary depending on calibration and nearby metal or electronics.

The Islamic Calendar page provides the current Hijri date for the UK, a Hijri month view, key Islamic dates, and downloadable calendar events. It is designed as a helpful calendar guide and may differ from mosque or moon-sighting announcements.

Your Quran reading goal, log, streak, and progress are stored on your own device in your browser. Nothing is sent to Muslims.co.uk in normal use, so clearing your browser data may reset the tracker.

The Tasbeeh Counter lets you count dhikr, set a target, and keep track of rounds. Counts and related settings stay saved on your own device, so they remain private to your browser unless you clear that stored data.

Yes, the Learn mode can save your progress on your device so you can continue where you left off. That progress is not stored on the Muslims.co.uk server.

Yes. The Daily Duas tool allows favourites to be saved on your own device for convenience. Those favourites stay in your browser rather than being stored on the site server.

No. The inheritance calculator is a helpful tool for Sunni faraid calculations, but inheritance can involve special circumstances, legal issues, debt, wills, disputes, and school-of-thought differences. Important cases should be checked with a qualified scholar and, where relevant, a legal professional.

No. Muslims.co.uk is an independent website and should not be treated as an official mosque, fatwa body, or governing authority unless explicitly stated on a specific page.

Yes. Community information, directories, practical guidance, and supporting content can change over time. Where religious or time-sensitive matters are important, it is always sensible to confirm with your local mosque or a trusted authority.

You can support Muslims.co.uk through the support section on the homepage. Support helps cover hosting, maintenance, development, and future improvements to the site's free tools and resources.

If you spot a problem, have feedback, or need to get in touch about the site, you can use the contact details provided on the relevant pages or email the site contact address where listed.
