1.0.3
October 7, 2026
What's new in 1.0.3 • Halal scanner, reworked: scan a barcode or photograph the ingredient list, including Arabic labels and ingredient names in many languages. Rulings follow Sayed Sistani's published texts and, where marked, Al-Maaref's halal guide, each with its source: Halal, Makruh (discouraged, not forbidden), or "Conditions apply" with Sayed Sistani's own words when the ruling depends on the facts, as with gelatin. • With your permission, the label's text (never the photo) can be read with the help of AI to separate the ingredients from other packaging text. The AI never makes rulings; if you decline, you read the label on your phone alone. • Product missing? Photograph its ingredients and, if you agree, add it to Open Food Facts so the next person who scans it gets a result, or send it to ShiaNur with photos for review. A short guide shows how. • A Health & Nutrition summary beside the halal verdict. • Prayer times calculated automatically for your location, with improved city search and local time-zone handling. No calculation method to choose; manual minute adjustments remain available. • A Friday companion: worship from Thursday after Maghrib through Friday, organized by time of day and sharing completion with Today's Worship. • Dhikr reorganized into five tabs (Adhkar, Tasbihat, Weekday Tasbih, Ahraz and Tawidhat), each grouped by kind. • The prayers of the days of the week, and the prayer of the first of each month. • Ziyarat greatly expanded for the Prophet (s), Imam Ali, Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra, Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn (as), and the Imams (as) - with their merits, etiquette, times and farewells. • More duas and ziyarat now show their book, narrator, and merit. • Improved Adhan and reminder scheduling, sound selection, and notification destinations, with reorganized notification settings. • Halaqa improvements, including choosing a joined circle to display on your dashboard. • Improved Qadaa history, progress, and synchronization. • Qur'an fixes for the Surah Index, bookmarks, Continue Reading, audio playback and navigation. • Follow ShiaNur on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook from Settings. • Smoother and lighter everyday use. Free and ad-free.
