Quran
The Quran, read and recited
All 114 surahs in Arabic, with audio from reciters you already know, and playback that keeps its place while you carry on with your day.
Scripture is the one thing on this site a machine is never allowed to translate.
What it does
Recitation from named reciters
Mishary Rashid Alafasy and Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary among them, each a complete recitation rather than a sampled selection.
Play a surah, or a verse
Whole-surah playback for listening, verse playback for learning, and the position is kept when you leave the screen.
The Arabic set properly
Amiri, a typeface designed for Quranic text, at a size you can actually read, rather than a system font stretched to fit.
Never machine translated
The app translates its own interface and, on request, what people write to each other. It does not machine translate scripture, and it never will.
The rule this is held to
Never machine translate scripture
The app translates its own interface, and on request it translates what people write to each other. It does not machine translate the Quran. Where a licensed published translation does not yet exist for your language, you get the Arabic. There are no exceptions to this one.
Worth knowing
- Published translations are being licensed language by language rather than generated, so your language may not have one yet.
- Recitation streams when you press play. Nothing downloads in the background without you asking.
Questions people ask
Is there a translation?

Does the audio use my data?
Recitation streams when you press play. Nothing downloads in the background without you asking.
