Common questions
The salah times are different from my masjid’s.
Sakan uses Fajr at 18°, Isha at 15° and Hanafi Asr, with the UK summer rules. Masjid timetables differ. Go to Settings › Salah times › Time adjustments and move any time earlier or later by the minute.
The times are for the wrong place.
Go to Settings › Salah times. Tap Use my location, or search for your town or postcode. If you said no to location before, allow it in the iPhone’s Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services › Sakan.
I don’t get notifications.
Go to Settings › Notifications in Sakan and tap Send a test. If iOS has blocked them, tap Open Settings and allow notifications for Sakan. Check that a Focus mode is not silencing them.
When does a new day start?
Each day in Sakan begins at the last third of the night, when progress and counts reset. Settings › Salah times › Start of day shows tonight’s time.
The Islamic date is a day out.
The date follows British moon sighting. An estimated date shows “est.” after Maghrib. Go to Settings › Salah times › Islamic date to correct it by up to two days.
Where is haidh and nifas?
Choose Sister in Settings › You. Haidh and nifas then appear in Settings › Travelling and haidh and on the Salah page.
