Have you ever memorized the Quran only to forget it later? Many of us master pages of memorization early on, only to face a painful void months later — that heartache when you try to recall a verse and it's gone. This isn't a lack of willpower; it's simply how human memory works without structured review. The Science of Forgetting Psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that memory follows a predictable forgetting curve — and that reviewing at the right moment multiplies retention exponentially. Itqan applies this science specifically to the classical Islamic memorization methodology. Sabq · Sabqi · Manzil Method Itqan is built on the three-tier system trusted by Quran teachers worldwide: • Sabq — New daily memorization. You decide how many pages per week; the app distributes them across your days. • Sabqi — Near review. Pages memorized in recent weeks, ordered by risk of forgetting. • Manzil — Far review. Your entire past memorization on spaced cycles until it's firmly rooted. After each review you rate your recall — Mastered / Good / Hesitant / Forgot — and the spaced-repetition algorithm reschedules every page with precision. Features ◈ Full Uthmani Quran text from Tanzil (604 pages) embedded — works fully offline. ◈ Interactive Mushaf board: track every page by color — memorized, under review, not started. ◈ Structured daily session: Sabq · Sabqi · Manzil. ◈ SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm, tuned for Quranic context. ◈ Statistics: streak, retention rate by juz, estimated khatma date. ◈ Smart reminders: daily nudge, post-Fajr alert, streak-break warning. ◈ Backup: export/import JSON file to safeguard all your data. ◈ Three languages: Arabic (default, RTL), French, English. ◈ Hijri calendar support. ◈ Audio listening: choose from top reciters, set repeat per ayah and speed. Privacy First Itqan works entirely offline. No servers, no accounts, no tracking. Your data stays on your device exclusively. Itqan Pro All core features are free with no limits. Itqan Pro adds: • Full yearly heatmap (52 weeks) • Retention health reports by juz • Cloud backup (coming soon)
