“Qariah” translates to a woman Quran reciter. While there are many public Qariahs around the globe in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria and Yemen, it is not a well known term in many Muslim communities in the west. Thus, the Qariah app aims to mainstream the term Qariah for women and ease accessing recitations of Qariahs…so that when little girls ask their mothers or aunts or sisters or homegirls, “Why are there no women Quran reciters?” The answer will be a resounding, “There are an uncountable number of them- and God willing, you and I can be them too!” →Global We feature over 60 women representing cultures all around the world: from Tanzania to Indonesia, Australia to Spain, Morocco to Somalia, Canada to Pakistan, Algeria to Guinea, the Philippines to The Gambia, Singapore to Palestine, Nigeria to Malaysia, the United States to Egypt, Yemen to Mauritania and more. →Qualified Each Qariah has memorized the Quran or holds an ijaza (license to teach), or is a national or international Quran competition winner or a qualified Quran teacher. The app showcases women’s scholarship with Quran and aims to inspire women across the globe to pursue Quranic understanding, memorization, and contemplative recitation. →Expansive Listen to the Quran in multiple qira’aat (methods of recitation) including Hafs ‘an ‘Asim, Shu'bah 'an 'Aasim, Warsh ‘an Nafi, Al-Doori 'an Abi 'Amr, Khalaf 'an Hamza, Qaloon ‘an Nafi, and Qaloon Biqasr Almunfasil wa Iskaan Meem AlJam.
