WHY BAṢĪRAH ? Revive a neglected tradition: Muhasaba (self-reflection). The Proof for this Practice: Allah says in the Quran: “O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow.” (Surah Al-Hashr, v.18). Umar Ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Judge yourselves before you are judged.” ROOTED IN AUTHENTIC TRADITION Baṣīrah is a tool to help you ask the right questions, without innovation (Bid'ah), based on classical references: • "Madarij as-Salikin" by Ibn al-Qayyim. • The works of Sheikh ‘Abderrazaq al-Badr on the causes of the increase and decrease of Faith (Iman). AN INTERACTIVE & SENSORY EXPERIENCE To encourage presence of the heart and break away from passive scrolling, the app uses your iPhone’s sensors: • Tilt to reflect: Physically tilt your phone to move the orb and find the answer that reflects your true state. This movement helps you "weigh" your intentions. • Select the answer: Once the balance is found, tap the orb to ground your reflection and move to the next step. • The Result (The Hal): Receive clear guidance toward Hamd (Praise for the clarity granted), Tawbah (Repentance), or self-reform through the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad sallu Allah alayhi wa salam. KEY FEATURES • Guided Path: 5 targeted questions to observe an act (Worship, Habit, or Slip-up). • Observation of Iman: Did this act bring me closer to or further from Allah? • Minimalist Interface: A clean design made to avoid unnecessary distractions. • Privacy: Optional personal log to keep track of intentions you wish to revisit. No scores. No notifications. No flashiness. No ads. Free for life. Just a moment of clarity for your soul. ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-05 Basirah joins the sakina.day ecosystem Your apps now talk to each other — discreetly, and without anything ever leaving your device. Fajr O'Clock: Finish your muḥāsaba after sunset, and Fajr O'Clock will know — adjusting your alarm for the next day accordingly. Bayan: When the heart goes through a low point, Basirah shares the themes of your recent muḥāsaba so Bayan can offer a fitting wonder. And if Bayan is installed, your daily review will gently suggest when a moment of wonder might help. Privacy first: Only keywords and dates travel between apps — never the actual content of your deeds. Everything stays on device. Furthermore, Basirah will never suggest an app you don't already have installed. Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight Three actions accessible without opening the app, using natural language: “Log an act in Basirah” — record a deed to review, using your voice. “How is my heart doing with Basirah” — a summary of your heart's state, spoken by Siri. “Heart advice in Basirah” — guidance to soften the heart, whenever you need it. Find these shortcuts in Spotlight and the Shortcuts app, featuring new icons and tiles styled in Basirah’s custom color. Ready for Apple Intelligence These actions are built to harness next-generation Siri: as Apple Intelligence expands across apps, Basirah will be ready — same phrases, richer context, always on-device. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-03-03 New: Heart Visualization — At the end of each action, an immersive animation reveals the state of your heart. It beats, brightens, or fades according to your diagnosis, and purification guidance appears one by one. The pre- and post-action cards have been completely redesigned to highlight the verdict and recommendations. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-02-25 What happens before acting is often more decisive than the action. ### 1.0 — 2026-01-09 No release notes. ## More apps by Sarah Biyong - [Fajr O'Clock - Alarm & Salat](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fajr-oclock-alarm-and-salat/id6754405894) - [Bayan: Understand Islam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bayan-understand-islam/id6757976258) All apps by Sarah Biyong: https://appshunter.io/developer/1158541282 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
