Tadabbur

Most Quran apps push volume. Long reading streaks. Full surahs in a sitting. Leaderboards. That works
for the small minority who already have the habit. For everyone else, it produces guilt the moment
Ramadan ends.

Tadabbur takes the opposite approach. Depth over volume. One ayah a day. Sixty seconds. For life.

The thesis is simple. A verse contemplated deeply, repeated daily, becomes the relationship. Not the
volume.

WHAT YOU GET
• A daily ayah, sequential. From Al-Fatiha through An-Nas, one verse at a time. Uthmani Arabic, five
font options, optional transliteration. Audio from seven world-renowned reciters via Quran Foundation.
• A three-tier reflection system. Acknowledge with one tap on a hard day. Respond with a line on a
thoughtful one. Reflect deeply when something stirs. The all-or-nothing failure mode that kills habit
apps doesn't exist here.
• Feelings mode. When you come not for the daily routine but because life is hard, pick how you're
feeling: anxious, grateful, lost, hopeful. Receive one of ninety curated verses mapped to that state,
with audio and context.
• A journal that grows into a spiritual autobiography. Every reflection timestamped, tied to its
verse, searchable. Streaks track gently with three "freezes" that absorb life without breaking the
thread. Group entries by time (a diary) or by surah (a personal commentary).
• Identity-based notifications. Most apps shame: "You broke your streak!" Tadabbur affirms
self-concept: "Day 7. You're someone who shows up." The wording shifts at every milestone.

DESIGNED WITH CARE
• 19 languages with full UI translation: English, Arabic, Urdu, French, Spanish, Turkish, Indonesian,
Malay, Bengali, Hindi, German, Russian, Portuguese, Persian, Tamil, Swahili, Chinese, Japanese,
Korean.
• Scholarly foundation. Over 1,300 pre-bundled tafsir summaries (Ibn Kathir English and Al-Muyassar
Arabic) for offline access. 130 curated editorial entries draw on Ibn Kathir, Imam Al-Sa'di,
Al-Qurtubi, Al-Tabari, and Ibn al-Qayyim, each surfaced with attribution so you can see the source.
• Privacy-first. Deny-by-default Firestore rules. Reflections are private by default. Only Tier-3
reflections can opt into the public Quran Reflect feed via the Quran Foundation API, one at a time. No social layer. No leaderboards.
• Quran Foundation integration. Sign in with quran.com to sync streaks, reflections, and bookmarks
across devices. Or stay in Guest mode for full local functionality, with nothing leaving your phone.
• Offline-first. The daily flow works on a flight or in a desert. Tafsir summaries and editorial
content ship in the app.

PERSONALIZATION
• Choose your starting surah, Arabic reading level, and motivation during onboarding.
• Pick from 7 reciters, 5 Arabic fonts, 4 sizes.
• Daily reminder at the time you choose.
• Hijri or Gregorian dates in the journal.
• Translation in your preferred language.

WHAT'S NOT HERE
No social feed. No leaderboards. No public friend lists. No streak shaming. No notifications shouted
at you. No memorization gamification. The Quran is not a game.

A note from the builder: I built this for the Muslim I want to be. The one who shows up to the Mushaf
every day, even briefly, even imperfectly, for a long time. If it helps even one other person carry
that thread past Ramadan, it was worth the time.
