## What is Al?

Al-Qalam Quran brings the full Holy Quran, recitation, prayer times and study tools together in one app.

READ
The complete Mushaf in clear Uthmani script, laid out page by page across all 604 pages and 114 surahs. Adjust the Arabic font and size, switch to dark mode, and turn on transliteration or word-by-word meaning when you need it.

LISTEN
Play any surah verse by verse with the text highlighting as it is recited. Choose from reciters including Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Mohamed Siddiq al-Minshawi and Abdur-Rahman as-Sudais. Audio continues in the background and can be downloaded for offline listening.

PRAYER TIMES AND ADHAN
Prayer times for your location with Adhan notifications, sunrise (Shuruq) and the Hijri date. A built-in Qibla compass points to the Kaaba in Makkah from wherever you are.

UNDERSTAND
Read translations in your language alongside the Arabic, with Tafsir and a word-by-word breakdown to study the meaning of each verse.

MEMORIZE
Hifz tools help you review and memorize, with repetition and a hide-and-reveal mode to test yourself.

DAILY
A daily hadith from authentic collections, plus duas and adhkar organized by occasion: morning, evening, travel, sleep and more.

SAVE YOUR PLACE
Bookmark verses, add personal notes, and continue reading from where you stopped.

Al-Qalam works offline once content is saved and does not require an account. The app is free to use. An optional Premium subscription removes ads, unlocks every reciter and enables full offline audio.
