## What is Itqān Studio?

Itqān Studio is a Qurān companion — a focused reader for serious readers and Arabic learners, now grown into a full study, worship, and go-to reference suite. Read the Qurān with tajwīd coloring, transliteration, and word‑by‑word help; pray on time with region‑accurate times, Qibla, and adhān; count tasbīḥ; and ask questions to get answers with citations — all on device, with no account and no ads. 

— READING —
• Scripts: Uthmani and Indo-Pak, customizable to reading preference, switchable any time from the top bar.
• Independent size sliders for Arabic, translation, and transliteration so every layer reads exactly how you want.
• Translations in English (Saheeh International, Pickthall), German, French, Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Arabic tafsīr.
• Transliterations for accessibility: Latin, Urdu, Telugu, Hindi/Devanagari, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Spanish.
• Eight reciters including Al-Afasy, Al-Husary, Al-Minshawi, Abdul Basit (Murattal + Mujawwad), As-Sudais, Al-Hudhaify, and Ad-Dussary — with an Ayah Repeat drill for memorisation.
• Arabic fonts: King Fahad Complex V2 (default), V1, and QPC Uthmani Hafs.

— ARABIC FOUNDATION —
A short, optional lesson path for non-native readers (native speakers jump straight to the muṣḥaf):
• Alphabet — all 28 letters in their four contextual shapes, with makhraj reference and a Qurānic example.
• Building Blocks — ḥarakāt, sukūn, tanwīn, shaddah, madd, the hamza family, alif al-waṣl, and sun & moon letters.
• Vocabulary Trainer — ~500 high-frequency words scheduled by spaced repetition (FSRS).

— TAJWĪD —
Every rule in the corpus with a short scholarly note and a worked example. Rule chips on each verse open the detail inline.

— SALAH & CALENDAR —
• Prayer times, Qibla compass, and adhān for your location with selectable styles.
• A live countdown to the next prayer, plus a Live Activity on the Lock Screen.
• Region‑aware prayer times, the makrūh (no‑nafl) windows.
• Hijri calendar with nafl fasting reminders — Muḥarram, the White Days, Mondays & Thursdays, six days of Shawwāl, the first nine of Dhū al-Ḥijja, and more — and optional publishing of observances to your device Calendar, so you're guided without opening the app.

— STUDY & REFERENCE —
• Prophets — the 25 named in the Qurān, with biographies and Imam Ibn Kathir's commentary.
• Hadith — collections with an isnād (chain-of-narration) explorer.
• Research — cross-source chapters on Qurānic themes, structure, and history.
• Asma ul Husna — the 99 Names.
• Tasbīḥ — a dhikr counter always one tap away.

— ITQAN ASK —
On-device, contextual answers about the Qurān, grounded in the same bundled corpus.

— A HUB THAT FITS YOU —
• A welcome screen that opens with today's Hijri date and your next prayer, plus quick shortcuts you choose.
• One unified Theme control: System / Light / Dark with a seven-palette accent picker, a custom colour eye-dropper, or a colour matched from a photo.
• CarPlay audio playback and "Drive to masjid" directions.
• Present to an external display for select topics.

— PRIVACY-FIRST —
Yours, privately — customize your home dock, present to an external display, and use it all offline. No account. No tracking. No ads. Free.

Built on a per-letter Qurānic corpus — every reading layer (script, tajwīd, translation, transliteration, reciter) derives from one source of truth- The Qurān!
