Prayer Beans™ app for iPhone and iPad

Prayer Beans™, a breakthrough application, enables the Muslim diaspora to collectively recite and complete some of the most important and powerful āyāt/verses in the Holy Quran – not only for the general betterment of humanity, but to seek specific divine intervention for worldly causes such as health, wealth, justice, or peace for the intended beneficiary of the collective prayer. In particular, Prayer Beans™ “virtualizes” the time-tested and sacramental collective/collaborative prayer/dua “Tasbih -E-Yunus”, more commonly known as “Ayat-e-Kareema”. The Muslim Ummah (“ummat al-muminīn”) widely practices this sacramental and potent prayer by inviting friends and family members to their homes. Although home may be a more intimate setting, the inclusion of dear family members and friends who live afar is nearly impossible.
Prayer Beans™ solves this dilemma, allowing users to invite family and friends wherever they may be in the World, using Facebook or Twitter – as well as through email invitations. In addition to the āyāt from the Holy Quran available in Prayer Beans™, Prayer Beans™ provides users tremendous flexibility, permitting them to take a picture of any Quranic verse or recitation of their own choosing. Users can name the prayer, provide the prayer’s description, and even set an end-time for the prayer – especially when the requestor’s invitation to pray is time sensitive. The prayer requestor is always in control, and has the ability to complete the full prayer by overriding it – especially if the participants have not performed the prayer in allotted time.
Never before has there been a more potent App platform. Prayer Beans™ lets the Muslim Ummah reach out to every corner of the World to “virtually” perform collective prayers – without requiring participants to travel or be present at one location on a given day or time, a kind of flexibility that is both unprecedented and unparalleled.
We have painstakingly ensured in a virtual manner that all tenets of the Holy Quran and the steps for a successful collective/collaborative prayer session are carried out exactly as if they were to be carried out in person. Our vision is to extend the power of prayer across the globe, especially Ayat-e-Kareema, by leveraging social media, and by bringing family and friends into communal prayer for loved ones, beyond the boundaries of distance or time and beyond any barriers to communication.
Finally, we’re also proud to offer an integrated Tasbih within Prayer Beans™. Users can count their favorite recitations using their mobile device anytime, anywhere without losing count. The built-in Tasbih counter maintains the place where the user last finished. The user can reset the Tasbih counter back to zero anytime during the recitation.
