About

Thaqafa surfaces a verified historical event from Islamic history every day, in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars. Every entry is hand-vetted against the classical Sunni sources (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, the Six Books) and carries its citations openly so you can verify what you read. A daily ritual, not a feed. The app shows today's event — no infinite scroll, no algorithmic noise, no ads. Read it once a day, set a quiet reminder for whatever hour suits you, and let the calendar bring you back tomorrow. Features: • One curated event per day (Hijri + Gregorian dates) • Trilingual content (English, French, Arabic) • Hadith citations verified on sunnah.com; Qur'anic references on quran.com • Disputed dates surfaced openly with the alternative classical positions • Bookmark events to revisit • Optional daily reminder at the hour of your choice • Home-screen widget — today's event at a glance • No tracking, no ads, no profiling Editorial bar: only events confirmed by the classical Sunni sources. Only ṣaḥīḥ hadith.

What's New in Thaqafa

1.0.1

May 14, 2026

• New reading-size setting (S / M / L / XL) in Settings — or pinch with two fingers anywhere in the app to zoom. • Pick your reading size during the welcome flow, with a live preview of the actual reading text. • Body text is larger by default for more comfortable long-form reading. • Slide from the screen edge to go back — works in all three scripts, including right-to-left in Arabic. • Today is now a permanent tab in the bottom navigation — one tap to today's reading from anywhere. Notifications • Daily reminders now respect your device's local timezone. Notifications that previously arrived hours late now land exactly when you set them. • Just one notification per day — the duplicate "open the app" reminder has been removed. • Daily notifications are off by default. A small choice, on your terms. • New "Send a test notification" button in Settings — verify in five seconds that alerts come through. • Clearer warning when iOS itself has notifications blocked, with a one-tap shortcut to system settings.
