About
Ummah Portal is a free reference site: prayer times, the Quran, duas, dream interpretation, the Hijri calendar, the ninety-nine names, baby names, qibla direction and a dhikr counter, in six languages.
What is here
Prayer times for 244 cities, each with its own coordinates and resolved timezone, computed on the server so the table is in the page before any script runs.
The Quran in full — all 114 surahs, in seven editions, so each language we serve reads an established translation into that language rather than an English one for everybody.
Over a hundred duas with Arabic text, transliteration, translation and source; a dream dictionary of 202 symbols; the ninety-nine names; 110 baby names with their roots; and a library of long-form articles.
Six calculators that answer a question rather than display a page: qibla direction, zakat, Quranic inheritance shares, halal additive lookup, Hijri date conversion and a dhikr counter. None of them requires an account.
Where the numbers come from
Prayer times are calculated astronomically, not copied from another site, and each region uses the method it actually follows — Diyanet in Turkey, Kemenag in Indonesia, Karachi in Pakistan, Umm al-Qura in Saudi Arabia, UOIF in France, and the Muslim World League elsewhere. The method is not a formality; the wrong one puts Fajr several minutes out.
Because the times are computed for a date, the site rebuilds itself twice a day so that no city is left showing yesterday’s table. Every prayer page prints the date it was calculated for, so you can see at a glance whether you are reading a current one.
Duas carry their source. Dream entries draw on the classical interpretation literature where an entry exists for that symbol, and say so when the reading rests on general symbolism instead.
What this site does not do
It does not issue rulings. Nothing here is a fatwa, and dream interpretation in particular is guidance rather than a verdict — the classical interpreters were themselves careful about this, and a page that reads a dream as a certainty is misrepresenting the tradition it is quoting.
For a question that turns on your own circumstances — a specific inheritance, a zakat case with unusual assets, a matter of ruling — a calculator is a starting point and a qualified scholar is the answer.
Languages
The site is built in English, Arabic, Turkish, French, Indonesian and Urdu, with right-to-left layout for Arabic and Urdu. Interface, prayer data and calculators are complete in all six.
The long-form articles are available in all six languages. Some reference notes — on dreams, duas, the ninety-nine names and baby names — are not yet translated into French, Indonesian and Urdu. Until a given note is translated, that page is deliberately left out of the search index in that language rather than presented as a translated page.
Who makes it
It is independently run and small. It is not affiliated with any mosque, school of law, government body or religious institution, and no such body reviews or approves what appears here.
That independence is the reason the editorial policy is written down and public: a reader is entitled to know how the material was produced and who decided what goes on the page.
How it is funded
Advertising. There is no subscription, no paywall and no account to create. See the editorial policy for what that does and does not affect.
Corrections and contact
Corrections are welcome and are the most useful message this site receives. If a prayer time disagrees with your local mosque, a translation reads wrong, or a source is misattributed, the contact page reaches the person who can change it.
