Your Complete Guide to Muslimnet's Islamic Tools
Muslimnet UK is a comprehensive platform offering three powerful tools that work together to support your spiritual journey. Here's how to make the most of each one.
The Three Pillars
1. Quran Reading Planner - Your Recitation Companion
2. 99 Names of Allah - Your Daily Reflection
3. Islamic Calendar - Your Spiritual Roadmap
Let's explore how these tools complement each other and enhance your practice of Islam.
📖 The Quran Reading Planner: Your Recitation Companion
What It Does: Set a reading goal to complete the Quran (or any other book) by your target date. Choose from preset Mushaf editions (Standard, Madinah, 13-Line, 15-Line, 16-Line) or input custom pages, and calculate exactly how many pages you need to read each day.
When to Use It:
- Ramadan Preparation: Plan to finish the Quran in the holy month.
- Daily Reading Routine: Establish a steady habit of Quran recitation.
- Milestone Planning: Work towards completing the Quran by a specific date (e.g., Eid or end of the year).
- Custom Reading: Track progress for other Islamic books or custom Mushafs.
Pro Tips:
- Quality Over Quantity: If your daily page target is high, adjust the finish date. Consistent, small recitation is more beloved to Allah than sporadic large amounts.
- Build Momentum: Start with a comfortable target date (e.g., 60 days) to build a consistent habit.
- Track Daily: Recite after specific prayers (like Fajr or Maghrib) to easily meet your daily page goal.
Real Use Case: Ibrahim wants to read the entire Quran by the end of Ramadan. He opens the Quran Reading Planner, selects the Standard Mushaf (604 pages), sets the target date to 30 days away, and enters his current page as 0. The planner calculates that he needs to read about 21 pages per day (approx. 1 Juz per day) to reach his goal. He divides this into 4-5 pages after each of the five daily prayers, making the target easily manageable.
📿 99 Names of Allah: Transform Your Dhikr
What It Does: Explore all 99 beautiful names of Allah with Arabic text, transliteration, meanings, and reflection prompts.
When to Use It:
- Morning Routine: Start each day by learning one new name
- After Salah: Reflect on 2-3 names after each prayer
- Du'a Enhancement: Call upon Allah using the most relevant name for your situation
- Teaching Children: Share one name per week at family dinners
- During Difficulty: Find comfort in names like Al-Mu'min (The Inspirer of Faith) or Ar-Razzaq (The Provider)
How to Build a Habit:
Week 1-2: Passive Learning
- Browse all 99 names to get familiar
- Notice which names resonate with you personally
Week 3-4: Active Memorization
- Choose 5 favorite names to memorize
- Practice pronunciation using the transliterations
- Write them in a journal with personal reflections
Month 2-3: Deep Reflection
- Pick one name per day
- Ask: How does this name show up in my life today?
- Make dua using that specific name
Month 4+: Living the Names
- Embody the names in your actions
- Al-Karim (The Generous) → Give charity
- As-Sabur (The Patient) → Practice patience with family
- Ash-Shakur (The Appreciative) → Express gratitude daily
Pro Tip - The "Name of the Day" Practice: Each morning, randomly open the app and whatever name appears becomes your focus for the day. Notice how often that name manifests in your experiences. You'll be amazed at the synchronicities.
🌙 Islamic Calendar: Navigate the Sacred Year
What It Does: Shows today's Islamic date with historical significance, hadiths, recommendations for worship, and fasting status.
When to Use It:
- Daily Morning Check: See if today has special significance
- Planning Fasts: Know which days are recommended for voluntary fasting
- Hajj Preparation: Track the approach of Dhul-Hijjah
- Ramadan Countdown: Anticipate the blessed month
- Teaching Moments: Share historical events from the calendar with family
Monthly Practices to Adopt:

- Reflect on new beginnings and the Hijrah
Rajab (Month 7):
- Learn about Isra wal Mi'raj (Night Journey)
- Increase voluntary prayers
Sha'ban (Month 8):
- Build momentum before Ramadan
- Fast extensively as the Prophet ﷺ did
Ramadan (Month 9):
- Use the calendar to track Laylatul Qadr nights
- Follow the daily significance notes
Shawwal (Month 10):
- Fast six days anytime in the month
- Track your progress to ensure completion
Dhul-Hijjah (Month 12):
- Fast the first nine days (especially the 9th - Arafah)
- Prepare spiritually even if not performing Hajj
Pro Tip - Set Monthly Intentions: At the start of each Islamic month, check the calendar for significant dates. Set specific goals:
- "I'll fast Mondays and Thursdays this month"
- "I'll wake for Tahajjud during the last ten nights"
- "I'll memorize 5 new names of Allah before Rajab ends"
How The Three Tools Work Together
Here's how a mindful Muslim might use all three tools in one day:
Morning (6:00 AM)
Calendar Check: "Today is the 15th of Sha'ban (White Day). Fasting is recommended."
Decision: Skip breakfast and fast today
Names Reflection: Open the 99 Names app and read about As-Samad (The Eternal). Reflect on Allah's independence while you experience hunger throughout the day.
Afternoon (1:30 PM)
Quran Reading Planner: Take a break from work. Open the planner and see that your daily goal is 15 pages. Read 5 pages now during your break to stay on track.
Names Reflection: While reading the Quran, pause to reflect on the beautiful names of Allah that appear in the verses.
Evening (6:00 PM)
Calendar Reminder: Check the app. Tomorrow is the 16th—no special fasting day. Plan to eat normally but continue Monday/Thursday fasting next week.
Family Time: Share the historical significance of the White Days with your children over iftar. Explain why the 13th, 14th, and 15th are called "white" (because of the full moon).
Night (10:00 PM)
Before Sleep: Recite Al-Hakim (The All-Wise) while reflecting on decisions made today. Trust Allah's wisdom in outcomes beyond your control.
Practical Challenges to Try
30-Day Quran Habit Challenge
Establish a daily recitation habit. Set a target date 30 days away in the Quran Reading Planner, and complete your calculated daily page goal every single day.
99 Days of Names
Spend one day with each name. By day 99, you'll have a deep, personal relationship with Allah's attributes.
Year of Sacred Days
Use the calendar to fast every single recommended day for one full year:
- Ashura (9th and 10th Muharram)
- White Days (every month)
- Mondays and Thursdays (weekly)
- Six days of Shawwal
- First nine days of Dhul-Hijjah
- Day of Arafah
For Families: Making It Work Together
Weekend Routine:
- Saturday Morning: Check the calendar for this week's significant dates.
- Saturday Lunch: Family explores one name of Allah together.
- Sunday: Plan family recitation goals in the Quran Reading Planner.
Ramadan Planning:
- Use the calendar to mark Laylatul Qadr nights.
- Assign each family member a different name of Allah to reflect on each day.
- Set a collective family goal in the Quran Reading Planner to complete the Quran by Eid.
The Bigger Picture
These aren't separate tools—they're three windows into a holistic Islamic life:
The Quran Reading Planner connects you to the revelation (building a daily habit of reciting the Quran)
The 99 Names deepen your knowledge of Allah (the vertical relationship with your Creator)
The Calendar structures your practice (the rhythm of worship throughout the year)
Together, they create a sustainable, balanced approach to Islam that touches:
- Your daily routine (checking the calendar each morning)
- Your connection to the Quran (planning your recitation)
- Your inner life (reflecting on Allah's names)
Start Small, Build Momentum
Don't try to use all three tools perfectly from day one. Start with one:
Option 1 - The Immediate Win: Start planning your recitation today using our Quran Reading Planner. Select your Mushaf edition and set a timeline.
Option 2 - The Daily Habit: Make the Islamic Calendar your homepage. Check it every morning with your coffee. Let it guide your day.
Option 3 - The Long Game: Commit to the 99 Names app for 99 days. One name per day. Journal about each one. By day 99, you'll know Allah in a way you never did before.
Final Thought
These tools aren't meant to add burden to your life—they're meant to add meaning. In a world of endless notifications and distractions, Muslimnet offers something different: intentional spiritual practice rooted in Islamic tradition.
The Quran planner says: "Your relationship with the Quran is active." The 99 Names say: "You worship a Lord who is knowable." The calendar says: "Your time is sacred."
We built these tools because we needed them ourselves. Now we're sharing them with you.
Use them. Share them. Benefit from them. And may they be a means of drawing closer to Allah for you and your loved ones.
