Verdict
المصطفی and ShiaNūr both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of ShiaNūr's written reviews are positive against 75% of المصطفی's. ShiaNūr also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). المصطفی's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
