About

Muhasabah

Features
Read full description

Muhasabah is a quiet space for daily self-reflection, rooted in the Islamic tradition of muhasabah — honest self-reckoning between you and your Lord. Each day, a gentle prompt invites you to write honestly about your intentions, gratitude, struggles, and hopes. There are no streaks, no targets, no pressure. Just you, your words, and your Lord. Reflect with purpose Write freely or follow a daily prompt. Your reflections are saved privately on your device, with optional cloud backup when you sign in. Name of the Week Choose one of the 99 Names of Allah as your weekly focus. Receive curated quotes, hadith, and themed reflection prompts tied to that name — a gentle way to build your reflections around a deeper theme. Gentle insights As your reflections grow, Muhasabah reveals quiet patterns: what you reflect on most, when you tend to write, and how your practice has developed over time. Reminders that serve you Set an evening reminder to reflect, or receive periodic prompts about your chosen Name of the Week throughout the day. Your data, your choice Reflections are stored locally on your device. Sign in to back them up to your account. You can clear your data or delete your account at any time. Features: • Daily reflection prompts drawn from Islamic wisdom • 99 Names of Allah with Arabic, transliteration, meaning, quotes, and reflection prompts • Weekly Name focus with day-by-day progress tracking • Insights: reflection count, writing patterns, theme distribution, weekly activity grid • Filter past reflections by Name of the Week • Evening and Name of the Week notification reminders • Light, dark, and device-matching themes • Cloud sync and backup via account sign-in • Fully accessible with VoiceOver support
