IqraFlow helps you build the most consistent relationship of your life - with the Quran. Create multiple khatms, and read on your own or alongside others. READ IT THE WAY IT IS PRINTED Four reading layouts, so the page can look the way you actually read. Mushaf pages keep the printed line breaks exactly, word for word, each word set on its own with its meaning beneath it - in the 15-line Madinah print, or the 13-line IndoPak print. Page by page flows the same text to your screen. Or read verse by verse with translation and transliteration under each ayah. Tajweed colouring is built in, with a legend that explains every rule and lets you hear it. Set the text size to suit your eyes, or size it to fit the screen. BUILD THE HABIT Set a daily target in verses or pages. Keep a streak - and keep it honest, with grace tokens you earn by reading consistently and spend on the days life gets in the way. Watch your hasanat count, and see where your reading actually goes with per-day, per-week, per-month and per-year stats. Milestones mark the moments worth marking: your first full page, your first khatm, a streak that holds, the lifetime verses behind you. FINISH KHATMS, TOGETHER Track your own khatm from start to finish, or share one with family and friends: everyone claims their portion, progress updates for the whole group, and you complete the Quran together. Someone can join with just a name and a code, without making an account at all. Synchronised khatms give every member the same daily reading, and show the date the group is on course to finish. Every khatm has its own stats and reading history. LISTEN Fifteen reciters, verse by verse or continuously, with adjustable speed and repeat. WORKS WITHOUT A CONNECTION The complete Quran text, two English translations, transliteration, word-by-word meanings in five languages, keyword search and a topic index are all built into the app - no connection needed for your daily reading. Reciters, tafseers and further translations can be downloaded for offline use whenever you want them, a whole juz or a single surah at a time. AND THROUGH THE YEAR Surah Al-Kahf reminders that run from Thursday sunset to Friday sunset, the way the window is actually kept. Monday and Thursday fasting notes. And a Ramadan companion with Suhoor and Taraweeh reminders and a 30-day khatm plan. IqraFlow is completely free. No adverts, no subscriptions, no locked features. Sources for every text in the app - the Quran script, translations, tafseers, word-by-word data and recitations - are listed in Settings, with their licences.
