A complete Mushaf with color-coded Tajweed, and accurate prayer times with an athan alert — with no ads. Al-Anwar brings together three things you rarely find in one app: recitation in your own voice that follows you word by word and gives you a hint when you stop (Al-Anwar Premium); the Fajr Circle, where you and your friends wake each other with your own voices; and one khatma with your family, with everyone's progress showing moment by moment. — THE MUSHAF — • The complete Quran in the Madinah Mushaf script, on 604 pages that match the printed edition. • Color-coded Tajweed in the colors of the Tajweed Mushaf: the four kinds of madd, ghunnah (including ikhfa and idgham with ghunnah), qalqalah, tafkhim, and letters that are not pronounced — with the color key in Reading settings. • Long-press any verse to listen, read its tafsir, bookmark it, add a note, copy or share. • Verse-by-verse recitation by renowned reciters, downloadable for offline listening; the full-surah Recitations Library comes with Al-Anwar Premium. — PRAYER — • Prayer times calculated for your location, with an athan alert even while your phone is locked. • On iOS 26 or later: at the next prayer's athan, a Live Activity starts on its own on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island and counts down 15 minutes to the iqama. The countdown to the next prayer is in the Lock Screen widget. • Fajr Circle (free): create a circle and record a short message in your voice, and each of you wakes the others for Fajr in your own voice — then see together who's up. On iOS 26 or later the alarm rings even when your phone is on Silent, once you allow the app to set alarms; on earlier versions Silent mode mutes it. Your friends need the app installed too. • Accurate qibla direction. — DHIKR — • Reviewed adhkar for the day and night, with their sources: morning, evening, after prayer, sleep and waking, plus duas and Sunnah practices, with a counter for each dhikr. • A tasbih you can feel on iPhone: a pulse for every bead and a deeper one at 33, 66 and 99, so you can do dhikr even in the dark. • "Remembering Allah with you now": how many people have the tasbih or the Mushaf open in the app at this moment. — WITH YOU EVERY DAY — • "My Khatma" and your daily wird, plus a group khatma where you split the juz between you. • Your stats, a consistency garden whose stages advance from a seed to a shady tree, and a map of your activity over the last 15 weeks. • 12 widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, on iOS 17 or later. • Zakat calculator, khatma dedication, and a desk clock (Standby mode). — WITH AL-ANWAR PREMIUM — • Memorization & recitation mode: if you stop, it hints with the first two letters of the word, then shows the word; after each recitation you get a report of where you stumbled. • Madd Trainer: measures how long you hold each madd as you recite, and compares it with the required number of harakat. • Mutashabihat: the similar verses in the Mushaf (about a third of its verses), drawn from its text, with the differences marked in gold, and a quiz on them. • Anwar Lens: point your camera at a verse in your Mushaf to see where it is and read its Muyassar tafsir. • Ayah Studio: cards, recitation reels of a verse, and art and phone wallpapers. • Theme Maker, Ramadan companion, Umrah & Hajj companion, calendar and occasions, adhkar for loved ones, kids' adhkar, the 99 Names of Allah with explanations, night-prayer companion, and AR qibla. — OUR PROMISE — No ads at all, and no account or sign-in required. The core of the app is always free; the optional subscription unlocks extra features. The app's interface is in Arabic, English and Turkish.
