DĪWĀN — Poetry of Praise is a refined multilingual library of Qasidahs, Naats, Salawat, Awrāds and devotional poetry. Explore Urdu Naats, Arabic Qasidahs and Salawat, Farsi poetry, the complete Burdah arranged by chapter, Surah Yasin, opening verses praising the Prophet Muhammad, Darood Mustaghath, and the eight-part Dalā’il al-Khayrāt. Read available original-language text alongside transliteration and English translation. Independently show or hide each layer and adjust the reading text size to suit you. Search across complete lyrics—not only titles—using Arabic, Urdu, Farsi or transliteration. Create personal reading collections, add pieces from any reading page, and reorder them into your preferred sequence. Share an entire collection by link or short code so family, friends or a community can import the same ordered selection of existing DĪWĀN pieces. Imported collections preserve the shared order. Where an Awrād recording is available, listen with background playback, remembered speed and optional read-along highlighting. Submit a structured correction suggestion from a reading page or contact general support. No new poetry, messages, contacts, favourites or reading history are uploaded through collection sharing. Save favourites, return to your remembered reading position, navigate with A–Z indexing, and move quickly between collections. The restrained royal-blue and ivory interface is inspired by Islamic geometric art while keeping the poetry clear and central. The structured catalogue remains available offline and can receive first-party published content corrections. The app has no account, advertising, analytics, purchases or subscriptions. The Home screen includes today’s Gregorian and Hijri dates. Open the calendar to browse published key dates and Urs anniversaries. Optional local notifications provide noon reminders. Use read-only mode or adjustable automatic scrolling for distraction-free reading.
