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. 🤍
