السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ

If your Nida Home was given to you, a unique screen welcomes you the first time it is switched on: your name, a supplication (duʿā) and the personal message of the person offering it. Take the time to enjoy it — it only appears once. Then tap “Continue” to begin the setup.

Action : Continue

As soon as it turns on, the screen welcomes you. Tap your language — French, Arabic, English, Turkish or German — and the interface adapts at once. Is your screen mounted vertically? Tap the icon in the top left corner to switch to portrait.

Action : Choose the language, then “Next”

Select your Wi-Fi network, then enter its password. The connection brings real-time weather, Makkah Live and updates. Then switch on remote control and scan the QR code with your phone: a remote control opens in the browser, nothing to install. No Wi-Fi at hand? The button becomes “Skip”: you can set up the network later.

Action : Next — or Skip

Once connected, your screen checks by itself whether a newer version exists. If so, we recommend installing it right away: Nida Home restarts, then the setup resumes exactly where you left it. You can also continue: the update will then install itself on a following night.

Action : Install now

Enter your country, then choose your city: the main cities are offered straight away, and the search narrows the list from the first letters. This precision is what guarantees accurate prayer times, at home.

Action : Next

Choose your school for ʿAsr — Shafiʿi / Maliki / Hanbali, or Hanafi — then the convention followed by your region or mosque: Muslim World League, UOIF (France), Umm al-Qura, ISNA… The preview immediately shows the five times of the day. If in doubt, keep the suggested setting: it can be changed at any time.

Action : Next

Listen to each voice before choosing the one that will call your home to prayer: Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Ahmad al-Nafees, Hafiz Mustafa Özcan… You can give Fajr its own, gentler adhan, and set a volume for each prayer.

Action : Next

Choose the scenery that will dress your screen: mosque courtyard, ancient Mecca, mountains, desert, ocean… and the animated themes — the oriental fireplace, the Moroccan fountain, the oasis waterfall… The preview shows the result prayer by prayer; at home, the sky follows the real weather and light of your city.

Action : Next

Continuous display: the screen stays on, prayer times and clock always visible — the natural choice for a living room. Night display: the screen goes to sleep after Isha and wakes up before Fajr — designed for a bedroom. With automatic brightness, the screen adapts by itself to the light of the room.

Action : Next

A last look at the essentials: city, calculation method, adhan and screen mode, with today’s prayer times. All good? Tap “Finish”: your Nida Home activates, schedules its adhans and shows its first prayer times. Welcome home.

Action : Finish

The landmarks of the home screen: 1 the clock, 2 the Hijri and Gregorian date, 3 the weather in your city, 4 the next prayer and its countdown, 5 the message — hadith, verse, name of Allah or supplication, 6 the prayer times with their mute button, 7 the menu: Quran, Nida Iqra, Nida Kids, Nida ‘Ilm, Nida Dhikr and Makkah Live, 8 the what’s-new bell and 9 the settings. The scenery follows the real weather and light of your city.

A hadith or a verse speaks to you? Tap it: it appears full screen, in calm calligraphy — ideal for reading together. Tap the screen again to return home.

Each prayer has its own speaker icon, next to its time. A guest, a sleeping baby? Tap the icon of that prayer: the time stays on screen, only the call is muted. Tap it again to turn it back on.

After each major update, a “What’s new” screen presents what has changed, page by page. “Got it” closes it; “Read later” keeps it aside: the bell, at the top right, reopens it whenever you wish. It always steps aside during the adhan.

Is your screen mounted vertically? Nida Home also displays in portrait, with scenery drawn for this format. Choose it right from the welcome screen of the setup, or in Settings → Screen mode → Screen orientation.

Open Nida Dhikr from the home menu. The moments of the day are gathered as tiles: on waking, after the adhan, morning adhkar, after the prayer, evening adhkar, before sleeping. Others open with the weather — rain, thunder, wind.

Tap a moment to adjust it: bring it earlier or later, offer it on the home screen, and choose the remembrances you want to keep — one, several or all.

The supplications of everyday gestures, sorted by situation: meals, ablutions, the mosque, travel… Open them when you need them, or set a reminder at the time and on the days of your choice.

Each remembrance is shown large, with its transliteration and meaning. Tap “Listen” to hear it, then tap the circle to count your repetitions; the arrows move on to the next one.

When a moment you have offered arrives, your home screen gently fades to make room for its remembrances, full screen. “Listen” plays the voice, “Done” closes the moment, and “Open in Nida Dhikr” opens the full session to count. A moment never appears during the adhan.

Tap the screen to bring up the control band, below the picture: back or forward 30 seconds, pause, back to live, sound, switch between Makkah and Madinah, and exit. The band fades away by itself. At prayer time, the sound of the broadcast is muted to make way for the adhan, then comes back. Everything can also be controlled from the remote on your phone.

Tap “Quran” in the menu: the player opens without leaving the home screen — clock and prayer times stay visible. The bar brings together the surah grid, previous, play, next, the playback mode and exit. Just below, two buttons open the Quran area, with its schedules and reciters.

“Schedule a surah”: choose the surah, the reciter, the time and one or more days — Al-Kahf every Friday, Ya-Sin on Mondays and Thursdays, Al-Mulk every evening… If the adhan falls during a recitation, it pauses, then resumes by itself.

Your screen holds up to three reciters. Browse the catalog and download your voices once and for all (about 1.5 GB each): listening then works even offline.

All the surahs of the chosen reciter, with their length. Tap a surah to listen to it. You can also set how long playback waits to resume after the adhan (5 minutes by default).

Tap “Nida Iqra” (اقرأ) in the menu: the 114 surahs appear in the order of the mushaf. Tap the one you want and the reading begins at once.

The verse is shown large, with the translation just below; in long verses, the display follows the recited word. The bottom bar keeps everything at hand: home, surahs, previous verse, pause, next, repeat, the verse loop — choose a start and end verse to work on a passage — and the transliteration, to show or hide.

The stories are sorted into worlds: the life of the Prophet ﷺ and the stories of the Prophets; the pillars of Islam, learning to pray, the surahs explained, the beautiful Names of Allah; good manners and everyday supplications. Tap a story to start it.

A gentle illustration accompanies the narration: each word is highlighted as it is spoken — the child listens, follows and learns to read at the same time. Tap the screen to bring up the controls: back to the menu, restart, back or forward, pause, next story, exit.

Three levels to learn while having fun: the basics (the Arabic alphabet, numbers from 0 to 9), then two further levels to progress and to read words. Letters and numbers read from right to left, as in Arabic.

Choose your profile, then find your courses: “Read Quranic Arabic”, “The Arabic of my prayer”, “Funeral prayer”… The menu gives access to all courses, your reviews, learning together as a family and your progress.

Each session moves forward in short steps: discover, compare, read step by step, practise, understand, read unaided, remember. Tap “Listen” to hear the pronunciation of a letter, a root or a formula, read by a reading voice.

A fire dancing gently in an oriental living room — for the warmth of family evenings.

The continuous stream of a riad fountain, soothing, among zellige tiles and plants.

Water falling over the rock, the foam, the mist and the rippling pool, in the heart of the palm grove.

In Settings → Theme, the “Animated themes” section brings together all the animated scenes. Tap one to apply it, then adjust the volume of its ambient sound or listen to it.

Tap the screen, then the gear at the top right: the quick settings open — brightness (or automatic) and sound. Tap “Settings” to reach every section.

Your country and city: moving or travelling? Change city and the prayer times are recalculated at once.

The madhab sets the time of ʿAsr, the convention those of Fajr and Isha. The day’s preview shows the effect of each choice; an expert mode lets you fine-tune the angles and adjust each prayer by a few minutes, like your mosque.

The voice of the call to prayer, to listen to before choosing; a separate adhan for Fajr; and a volume for each prayer.

The home-screen messages — hadiths, verses, names of Allah, supplications — are now set in Nida Dhikr. The link takes you straight there.

The orientation — landscape or portrait — and the mode: continuous display, or night display with sleep after Isha and wake-up before Fajr.

Your screen’s scenery, with its prayer-by-prayer preview; real-time weather; and the outline intensity of the text, for perfect reading on every scene. Further down, the animated themes.

Change network at any time. Downloaded reciters and prayer times keep working without internet.

Your phone becomes a remote: switch it on and scan the QR code — nothing to install, no account. Phone and screen must be on the same Wi-Fi. From the remote, start a surah, a Nida Kids story or Makkah Live, and adjust your screen from the sofa.

When connected, the screen sets itself. The manual setting is only for fully offline use.

French, Arabic, English, Turkish or German: the whole interface switches at once, including right-to-left reading for Arabic.

The software version and your screen’s details, useful when talking to our support. The “Check for update” button looks for a newer version — otherwise, updates install themselves at night.

Returns the screen to its original state: all settings are erased and the setup assistant starts again. Use it if you give your Nida Home away or want to start from scratch.
