Musafir mode
I would like to suggest adding a Musafir Mode to the GoSolat app to make it easier for Muslims who are travelling.
Proposed Features
1. Musafir Mode Toggle
A simple toggle to enable or disable Musafir Mode.
Users can enter their departure and destination locations (or allow GPS to detect them automatically).
The app calculates whether the journey qualifies the user for Jamak and Qasar based on the travel distance.
2. Prayer Guidance
When it is time for Zohor, the app asks:
Jamak Takdim (Zohor + Asar now)
Jamak Takhir (Delay Zohor and combine with Asar later)
Based on the user’s selection:
If Jamak Takdim is chosen, the app will not send another reminder for Asar.
If Jamak Takhir is chosen, the app will postpone the Zohor reminder and instead remind the user to perform both prayers together at Asar time.
The same concept can be applied for Maghrib and Isyak.
3. Niat (Intention) Display
Display the appropriate niat for:
Solat Jamak Takdim
Solat Jamak Takhir
Solat Qasar
Solat Jamak & Qasar
Include both Arabic text, transliteration, and translation for easy reference.
4. Travel Status
Display a clear indicator showing:
Whether the user is currently considered a musafir.
The estimated period during which Jamak and Qasar are applicable.
Automatically disable Musafir Mode once the journey ends (or allow manual control).
I believe this feature would be extremely useful for users who travel frequently, whether for work or personal trips. It would help ensure prayer reminders are more relevant and provide convenient guidance on Jamak and Qasar, making GoSolat an even more comprehensive companion for Muslims on the move.
Thank you for your continuous efforts in improving the app. May Allah bless your team for making it easier for Muslims to perform their daily prayers.
