Dubai's digital landscape is shining bright with the incredible achievement of the DULOOK app, created by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD). This innovative application, tailored to provide accurate prayer times and various religious functionalities, has recently exceeded 770,000 downloads globally, solidifying Dubai’s position as a leader in digital innovation.
In the UAE alone, nearly 500,000 downloads have been registered, split between 200,000 Android users and 300,000 iPhone users. Internationally, users account for about 270,000 downloads, making up nearly 36% of the total user base.
The app’s reach extends well beyond the UAE borders, notably attracting users from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Oman, and showing growing interest in nations including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and India. Its rising success is due to precise prayer time calculations aligned with user locations, intuitive Qibla direction features, and prompt notifications that encourage consistent engagement.

Additionally, the app features options for listening to the call to prayer and tracking religious events, making it a complete platform for Muslims worldwide.
