ZakatSuite's prayer-time notifications bring the timetable to you. Instead of opening a calendar five times a day, you choose your city once and your browser receives a short notification at every prayer time — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — showing the prayer, its time in your city, and a brief reminder from the Quran or the Sunnah. The service is built for Ramadan above all: a Sehri reminder before Fajr and an Iftar reminder at Maghrib are the two moments of the fasting day nobody wants to miss, but the same subscription carries the ordinary five daily prayers, so the habit you build in Ramadan keeps serving you after Eid. It is completely free, it needs no app download, and it does not need a ZakatSuite account.
The page uses Web Push, the notification system built into modern browsers. When you tap Enable, the browser asks for your permission and creates a private push subscription for that device — a technical address that only ZakatSuite's server uses to reach your browser. We save that subscription together with the city and timezone you selected, and nothing else: no name, no email and no browsing history is attached to it. At each prayer time for your city, our server sends one notification through your browser's push service, which wakes the browser just long enough to display it. That is why the reminders keep arriving even when every ZakatSuite tab is closed and the browser itself is sitting idle — the delivery does not depend on the site being open. Tapping a notification opens ZakatSuite at the page for that moment, where the full timetable for your city is one tap away.
Prayer times are local by definition, and the city picker on this page covers the same 144 cities as the ZakatSuite Ramadan calendars — from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad to London, New York, Toronto, Dubai, Makkah and Sydney — each calculated with the method customary in its country and presented with Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali and Jafari views on its timetable page. Choose the city you actually pray in, not the city you were born in, and the notifications follow that city's clock and timezone; if you travel during Ramadan, come back to this page, change the city and save, and the reminders move with you. During Ramadan 2027 — expected to begin on 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting — the Maghrib notification doubles as your Iftar call and the Fajr notification as the close of Sehri, so the two anchors of the fasting day are never missed.
A bare alarm tells you the time; it does not tell you why the time matters. Every ZakatSuite notification therefore carries a short text alongside the prayer name — a verse such as "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers at specified times" (Quran 4:103), or a hadith on the virtue of the prayer that has just entered. In Ramadan the reminders lean on the month: the reward of breaking the fast on time, the duas of Sehri and Iftar, and, in the last ten nights, encouragement toward Laylat al-Qadr on the odd nights of 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March 2027. The intention is simple: the notification should be a moment of benefit in itself, not merely a sound.
Web Push works in current versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox on desktop and Android, and in Safari 16.4 and later. iPhone and iPad follow Apple's own rule: notifications from a website require iOS 16.4 or later and the site added to the Home Screen first — open zakatsuite.com in Safari, tap Share, choose Add to Home Screen, then launch ZakatSuite from that icon and enable notifications on this page. Older browsers without Web Push cannot receive the reminders; on those, the Ramadan timetable pages and a simple phone alarm remain the reliable fallback. If you clear your browser's site data, the subscription is removed with it — just return here and enable it again.
Notifications are off until you turn them on, and the same page turns them off: one tap unsubscribes this browser and tells our server to stop sending, immediately and completely. We send prayer-time reminders only — no advertising, no news blasts — and the subscription is tied to this browser on this device, so enabling on your phone and your laptop creates two independent subscriptions you can manage separately. If you would rather hear from us on WhatsApp, you can add your phone number on your profile (or when creating an account) and tick the WhatsApp consent box, and join the ZakatSuite WhatsApp Community from the community page; the browser notifications on this page stay free and need no phone number at all.
