“The believer's time has three portions: one in which he speaks intimately with his Lord, one in which he sees to his livelihood, and one in which he leaves himself free for the enjoyment of what is lawful and fitting.”
Imam Ali (a) · Nahj al-Balagha, saying 390 (387 in some editions)
Choose a portion, then tap the hours on the circle that belong to it. Midnight is at the top.
A starting point. Change it to fit your day.
The saying names three portions and does not fix their size, so there is no right split. Sleep is shown apart, so the three share your waking hours.
Shape it around your focus
Choose what matters to you now, and the app gathers a calm daily routine from across its practices.
What would you like to focus on?
Choose one or more. Your plan adjusts gently — change it anytime.
The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
1:7

Ayat al-Kursi
Qur'an 2:255
Good for: The Throne Verse — the mightiest verse of the Qur'an; a fortress of divine protection.
When: Before sleep, after the obligatory prayers, and morning and evening.
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
2:255

So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?
And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.
Or do you feel secure that He who [holds authority] in the heaven would not send against you a storm of stones? Then you would know how [severe] was My warning.
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
But when they see it approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."
Say, [O Muhammad], "Have you considered: whether Allah should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."
Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?
36:23
إِنِّىٓ إِذًۭا لَّفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ
Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.
36:24
إِنِّىٓ ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَٱسْمَعُونِ
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."
And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."
They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."
