## What is AlKetab?

Al-Kitab is an advanced Quran experience combining ease of use with rich content in a modern, distraction-free design — your daily companion for reading, memorizing, and reviewing.

# Recitation Correction — On Device, Offline, Free

* Recite aloud and the app follows you word by word and turns the page with you — no internet needed, and your voice never leaves your phone.
* Choose how strictly you are corrected: Off, Easy, Normal (checks vowel marks), or Strict (adds shadda and madd lengths).
* Quran Teacher mode stops at a mistake, plays the correct word, and waits until you say it right — including a madd held too short.
* Marks appear under every word as you recite, showing what was confirmed and what needs another look.
* A session log gathers everything worth revisiting — tap to hear the word again.
* Start reciting anywhere in the Quran and the app works out where you are, then follows along.
* Recite a verse aloud to jump straight to its page — no page numbers, no scrolling.
* Continuous recitation carries you from one Surah into the next without a single tap.

# Memorization & Review

* Review mode hides the verses and reveals each word only as you recite it.
* Stuck on a word? A gentle whisper says it for you and hands the microphone straight back.
* Listen-and-repeat plays each verse in your chosen reciter's voice, then listens as you repeat it.
* Daily reading goal, streaks, and detailed statistics for time, verses, and sessions.

# Complete Reading Experience

* Three Mushaf display options: Madinah Mushaf, Book simulation, and Large Text Mushaf.
* Elegant "Al-Kitab" Mushaf cover gives a distinctive start to the app.
* One tap marks the last verse you read, so you resume exactly where you stopped.
* Page history lets you return to any page you visited.
* Tajweed colouring with a legend, and a gentle buzz at each new Surah.
* Landscape reading fills the screen; split-screen and free-form sizes on iPad.

# Advanced Tools for Understanding the Quran

* Long-press any verse to read its tafsir, choose a tafsir book, and move between verses.
* Eleven Arabic tafsir works — Al-Muyassar, Al-Muharrar, As-Sa'di, Ibn Kathir, At-Tabari and more — plus English translation and transliteration.
* Tap any word for its meaning, grammar, morphology, variant readings, and pronunciation.
* Word derivatives, linguistic information, and the verses they appear in, with charts.

# Khatma & Focus

* Set a full Quran reading plan with a target date, daily portions, and reminders.
* Follow your progress and finish with a shareable completion card.
* Stay Focused blocks distracting apps while you read, with a Live Activity countdown.
* Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your verse, streak, and Khatma progress.

# Advanced Audio Capabilities

* Listen with 40 reciters, with offline download support.
* Verses shown one by one while listening, or full-page in landscape.
* Word-by-word pronunciation for any word you tap.

# Sharing

* Share a verse — or a whole range — as a beautifully typeset image.
* Create a recitation video of any passage in your chosen reciter's voice.

# Smart & Precise Search

* Fast and comprehensive Quran search.
* Advanced search powered by the "Al-Fanoos" engine.
* Quran word bar for precise access to terms.
* AI-powered search that understands meaning, not just words.
* The Al-Kitab Assistant responds in your language — play a Surah, jump to a verse, or ask about a topic, by voice.

# Customization & Personal Experience

* Favorites list for quick access to selected Surahs.
* Your last read page and bookmarks sync across all your devices.
* Night mode or automatic mode according to device settings.

Everything you need for a deeper, easier, more personal Quran experience — in one carefully designed app.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته 
هل في مجال يتم التعديل على ميزة حفظ بالسماع لاني لما اضغط عليها وكنت فاتح على سورة الليل ولكنه يعطيني سورة البلد اللي هي قبلها بصفحة وقبلها سورة الشمس. رجاء اذا كان بالامكان اضافة اختيار السورة المطلوبة للحفظ بالسماع وعدد مرات التكرار المرغوبة وجزاكم الله خيراً

**Developer response:** أخي الكريم، اضعط مرة واحدة على الأية التي تريد ان تبدأ منها قبل أن تشغل خاصية التسميع.
الأمر بسيط. وهو مكتوب في الشاشة التي تظهر أمامك قبل بدء التسميع.

### 5/5 — من أفضل برامج القرآن

*2026-03-17, version 5.5*

برنامج رائع بكل المقاييس من iPhone Islam 
اعجبني جدا التزامن منقطع النظير بين الايفون و الايباد 
بحيث بدون ان احفظ المكان الذي توقفت عند القراءة فيه
و عندما افتح الايباد يفتح لي مباشرة نفس الصفحة و الآية 
اعجبني التلاوة بالوضع الافقي و جعل النص مكبرا مع عزل باقي الايات لتركيز افضل (تم التواصل مع المطورين لتحسين هذه الميزة على الايباد) 
وفق الله المطورين (يقدمون الان نسخة كاملة هدية لمدة سنة) لم اجرب باقي المميزات، لكن سأقوم بتعديل التقييم ، لكن بكل الاحوال 5 نجوم

### 5/5 — مجهود رائع و كبير

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.3 — 2026-09-05

# Quran Prompter
Open it from the main menu, put the phone in front of you, and start reciting. It finds your place, colors every word as you say it, and scrolls the ayahs with you.
Large text on black. No sound, no vibration, and you never touch the screen.
Made for Tahajjud, Sunnah prayers, and following along with a sheikh's recitation.

# Performance & Fixes
Bug fixes and speed improvements throughout the app for a smoother, more stable experience.

### 6.2 — 2026-09-02

# Memorization Journey
A new screen maps all 30 juz, surah by surah. Every ayah you recite in a Memorization Review session is recorded as memorized — nothing to mark by hand.
Your progress syncs across all your devices, and any surah you haven't revisited in a while is flagged so you know what to return to.

# Sharper Word Marks
The marks under each word during recitation tracking are now measured from the printed mushaf itself. Every underline sits exactly under its word, on every page.

# Performance & Fixes
Fixed an issue that kept recitation tracking from starting for some users, along with speed improvements and bug fixes throughout the app.

### 6.1 — 2026-08-31

Al-Kitab now corrects your recitation — free and entirely on your own device.
Sharper correction, verse repetition, and recitation that never has to stop.

# Sharper Correction
The correction engine now catches mistakes it used to let through. And when words slip past unheard, it sounds an alert — so you know without looking at the screen.
It still runs entirely on your device: no internet connection, no account, and your voice never leaves your iPhone.

# Repeat Verses — Drill What You Memorize
Tap the repeat button in the audio player until you reach "Repeat Verses", then pick the last verse and how many times. Everything between your position and that verse plays again.

# Continuous Recitation — Never Stop Reciting
Turn on Continuous Recitation in Settings and tracking carries straight on from one surah to the next — without touching the screen.

# Performance & Fixes
Bug fixes and speed improvements throughout the app for a smoother, more stable experience.

May Allah accept from you and from us.

### 6.0 — 2026-08-28

Al-Kitab now corrects your recitation — entirely on your own device.

# Recitation Correction — Free, Offline, Private

A brand-new engine listens as you recite and follows you word by word. It runs completely on your iPhone: no internet connection, no account, and nothing to pay. Your voice is never uploaded, never stored on a server, and never heard by anyone but you. What you recite stays on your device — where it belongs.

That means it works in the masjid with no signal, on a plane, anywhere at all.

* Marks appear under every word as you recite, showing what was confirmed and what needs another look.
* You choose how strictly you are corrected: Off, Easy, Normal (checks vowel marks and skipped words), or Strict (adds shadda and madd lengths).
* A session log gathers everything worth revisiting — tap any entry to hear the word again.

# Quran Teacher

The mode that lets nothing pass. It stops at the mistake, plays the word correctly, and waits — it will not move on until you say it right.

It stops for a madd you held too short, not only for a wrong word, and it shows you exactly what it heard against what it expected. Patient, always available, and never in a hurry.

# Recite, and the App Finds You

* Recite from any verse — start anywhere in the Quran and the app works out where you are, then follows along.
* Go to a verse by reciting it aloud, and its page opens. No page numbers, no scrolling.
* Continuous recitation carries you from one Surah into the next without a single tap.

# Memorization & Review

* Review mode hides the verses and reveals each word only as you recite it.
* New: stuck on a word? A gentle whisper says it for you and hands the microphone straight back — no need to break your recitation to look it up.
* Listen-and-repeat plays each verse in your chosen reciter's voice, then listens as you repeat it.

# Also New

* A guided tour on first launch sets your correction level and daily goal in about a minute.
* Share a range of verses as one beautifully typeset image, or as a recitation video in your chosen reciter's voice.
* Surahs and Juz now share a single browser, and tracking moved to the microphone button in the footer.
* Search, tafsir, and highlighting are all noticeably faster.

May Allah accept from you and from us.
