Maqra makes daily Quran engagement joyful, social, and sustainable. Whether you read a page a day or a juzz, Maqra helps you build a consistent habit and share the journey with the people you love. READ WITH PURPOSE Open a beautiful, text-rendered Quran reader with multiple mushaf layouts and translations. Every page is crisp and clear, designed for focused reading on any screen size. LISTEN TO 600+ RECITERS Follow along with word-by-word audio synchronisation from over 600 reciters. Watch each word highlight in real time as you listen.

CREATE READING CIRCLES Invite your family, friends, or community to a Reading Circle and work together to complete a khatm. Each member claims sections from the Juzz Board, and the circle tracks collective progress in real time. PRAYER TIMES Never miss a prayer with built-in, location-accurate prayer times.
