Al-Tuqa is your all-in-one Islamic companion — beautifully designed, completely private, and built for both daily practice and deeper study. QURAN READER • Read all 114 surahs in crisp Uthmani Arabic with English translation. Choose between Study Mode for focused reading and Listen Mode for an immersive audio experience, with highlighted ayahs and auto-scroll to follow the recitation. Bookmark ayahs, add color-coded highlights, and write free-form notes. Long-press any ayah to highlight a specific phrase, change colors, or pull up an AI reflection prompt instantly. AUDIO RECITATION • Listen with 7 world-renowned reciters — including Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Abdul Basit, and Abdurrahman As-Sudais. Adjust playback speed, listen in the background, and control audio from your Lock Screen. Download surahs for offline listening and let the app play continuously surah to surah. PRAYER TIMES • Accurate times for all six daily prayers based on your GPS location or a chosen city. Pick from 13 calculation methods, select your madhab for Asr, and fine-tune each prayer individually. A live countdown shows time until your next prayer, and per-prayer notifications make sure you never miss one. QIBLA • Point your phone and find the Qibla instantly. The compass arrow turns green and vibrates gently when you're aligned within 3 degrees of Makkah. DUAS • A curated collection of Quranic supplications across 9 categories — Guidance, Forgiveness, Protection, Patience, Gratitude, Knowledge, Family, Provision, and General. Each dua includes Arabic text, English translation, transliteration, its Quranic source, and audio recitation. JOURNAL • A private, on-device journal for reflections and study notes. Link specific ayahs, notes, and highlights as tappable references inside your entries. Use built-in templates to get started — Reflection, Tafsir Notes, or Gratitude — and search entries by keyword or surah reference. SPACED REPETITION REVIEW • Your highlights and notes resurface at the right time so they actually stick. Items return at 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 120-day intervals.
