The whole Quran, 43 translations and 40 complete recitations, in a reader made for daily reading. Every letter you read counts as hasanah, your streak grows, and you read alongside a global community. Quran Habit is a Quran reader with the habit built into it: a daily reading goal, a streak counter, and a reading plan that keeps its own pace, wrapped around real mushaf pages with colour-coded tajweed rather than a stripped-down verse list. Whether you are memorising, learning tajweed, or simply reading a little every day, everything here is arranged around the reading itself, not a library of articles. Tap an Arabic word in the reader, in Word by Word mode, or in any mushaf that supports word tapping, and hear it pronounced on its own, as many times as you need. Choose Daily Reading, which resets each day, or Khatm, which counts each ayah once across the whole Quran, whichever fits how you actually read. Beginners learning tajweed, hafiz candidates revising, new Muslims learning the Arabic script, and anyone rebuilding a lapsed habit will find their own pace here. Listen as you read: word-by-word audio highlighting follows the reciter across the page for eleven of the forty reciters, ayah repeat plays a verse again while you memorise, and any reciter can be kept on the device for offline listening, one surah or the whole Quran. When Ramadan comes, the Khatm Journey has a mode built for it: the whole Quran across the 30 days, at a pace the plan lays out for you. You are not reading alone. The Ummah leaderboard shows readers across the world and in your own country, 33 weekly leagues move with how much you read over the week, and a home screen widget keeps hasanah, ayahs read and your streak in view between sessions. What the app includes: • The full Quran offline in four scripts: Uthmani, Indo-Pak, colour-coded Tajweed, and word by word • Ten ways to read the mushaf: Uthmani and colour-coded Tajweed on your device, three Madani font editions, and five page-image mushafs including Naskh and IndoPak • Every letter counts. Hasanah grows with each ayah, based on the hadith that one letter equals ten good deeds • 40 complete recitations, eleven of them with word-by-word audio highlighting • Offline audio: keep a reciter on the device by surah or in full, and remove what you no longer need • 43 translations, plus word-by-word meanings under the Arabic • Daily goals, streaks and gentle reminders that keep the habit steady • Khatm Journey: pick a pace or set your own, with a Ramadan mode for the 30 days • Night Habit: Ayat al-Kursi, the closing ayat of Al-Baqarah, Al-Mulk and the three Quls in one calm pre-sleep reader • A dedicated Surah Al-Kahf reader for Fridays • Daily Treasure: a small themed selection of ayat to discover each day • Tafsir library in 11 languages, opened from the ayah in front of you • 84 Quranic duas, organised by topic and by who is speaking • The 99 Names of Allah, each with ayah and hadith references • Tasbeeh counter with dhikr presets, preset targets, or a count you type yourself • Ayah wallpapers: turn any ayah or any of the 99 Names into a wallpaper to save or share, with 69 backgrounds • Home screen widgets that keep hasanah, ayahs read and your streak in view, with the last seven days at a glance • Ummah leaderboard, global and by country, with 33 weekly leagues: read together, not alone • Calm, focused reading in light and dark, in 14 app languages, right to left in Arabic, Persian and Urdu May Allah accept from us all.
