I spent months building a Qur’an app… and today it finally made it to the App Store 🤍

I’ve been working on this for months, and it honestly feels surreal to finally share it.
NIYYAH Quran Companion is now available on the App Store. 🤍

I built NIYYAH as a calm Qur’an learning companion for reading, reflection, verified recitation, progress, and private study circles.

The idea came from wanting a Qur’an app that didn’t make learning feel overwhelming or competitive. Something you could open, read an ayah, listen to its recitation, take a moment to reflect, learn something new, and come back again tomorrow.

With NIYYAH, you can:
• Read the Qur’an with translation
• Listen to verified recitation
• Get clear learning support to better understand ayahs
• Save personal reflections in a private journal
• Track your reading and learning progress
• Save Qur’anic vocabulary
• Join private Qur’an circles with family, friends, classmates, or MSA groups
• Do gentle check-ins without public rankings or pressure

One thing that was especially important to me while building NIYYAH was trust.

The Qur’an text is never generated or rewritten by AI. Source tafsir is only shown when verified and attributed material is available. Educational summaries, reflections, quizzes, and other learning tools are clearly separated from source tafsir.

NIYYAH also isn’t meant to replace scholars, teachers, or classical tafsir study. It’s simply a companion — something to help you return to the Qur’an, reflect on what you’re reading, and keep learning with sincerity.

I built this as a student, and getting from the original idea to an actual app on the App Store took a LOT longer than I expected. There were bugs, redesigns, testing, App Store review, rejection, more changes, and plenty of moments where I wondered if I’d actually get it finished.

But it’s finally here. 🥹

NIYYAH Quran Companion is now available on the App Store.

If you have a moment to try it, I’d genuinely love to know what you think.

And if you use Qur’an apps already: what’s something you wish they did better?

I’m still building, and your feedback could help shape what NIYYAH becomes next.

Understand the Qur’an. One ayah at a time. 🤍

Thoughts

Why must we keep developing Prayer, Quran, or Hadith apps when thousands already exist? I use an app (rather not mention the name) and have found it says accurate prayer times even while travelling across countries; I do not and will not need another app.

Conversely, we invest in apps not created by Muslims. Why can we not fill the remaining gaps?

We don’t have global scale platforms like:

- Sales force
- Project management
- Advertising
- ERPs and Accounting
- Social Media
- the list goes on.

Why do we never do that?

Muslim To-Do iOS App

Assalamu alaikum everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called "Muslim To-Do". It's a native iOS app designed to help you build and maintain your daily spiritual routine.

What makes it different? It seamlessly blends your daily habits (like reading Qur'an, making Dhikr, etc.) directly with the five daily prayers on a unified timeline.

Here are some of the main features:

  • 📅 Prayer-Bound Habits: Tie your habits directly to a specific prayer period (Fajr, Dhuhr, etc.) and track your daily streaks.
  • 🕌 Accurate Offline Prayer Times: Runs completely locally on your device with zero network requests needed for calculations.
  • 🧭 High-Precision Qibla Compass: With true-north correction and fallback coordinate support.
  • 🌙 Advanced Hijri Calendar: Dual calendar view with local moon sighting adjustments (-1 / 0 / +1) and Islamic events.
  • 🔒 100% Private: Prayer times and Qibla are computed on-device. Your location never leaves your phone, and habits sync securely to your own personal iCloud.
  • ✨ Bilingual & Beautiful: Full Arabic & English support with seamless Right-to-Left UI and dynamic iOS design.

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts or feedback!

Looking to connect with more Muslim developers on this app in-sha-Allah.

(text so the left-adjust doesn't trigger in-sha-Allah due to arabic text)

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Dear brothers, I am looking for other people in the Computer Science and/or AI space in-sha-Allah, and I simply wanted to form connections with people in-sha-Allah with regards to this sort of stuff.

I mainly work with Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex, and I've tried to build my own software, do outreach with it in-sha-Allah, and in-sha-Allah make some money with it. No success yet though, but in-sha-Allah if we keep grinding, it will come bi-idhnillah.

I am looking forward to meet you all, in-sha-Allah you guys can comment below or just send me a DM personally.

I appreciate you guys reading this nonetheless, in-sha-Allah we can do something great.
