About Tadabbur - One Ayah a Day
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. 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.
What’s new
Version 1.11.0 · Updated August 10, 2026
• Bookmarks now behave as you'd expect reflecting on an ayah no longer bookmarks it automatically, and removing a bookmark stays removed. • Added new reading modes. Some of you already read a page a day and asked if Tadabbur could fit that habit instead of replacing it. Now it can. Open Settings and look for Daily reading. Stay with one ayah, or move to half a page or a full page. Your streak works the same either way. One day is one day, whatever you read. • Easier on the eyes. A few of you told us the app was hard to read, especially if your eyesight is not what it was. You were right. We went back through every screen and raised the contrast on all of it. • You can now choose Light, Dark, or follow your phone. Light is the default, so nobody ends up stuck on a dark screen they never asked for. • There is also a text size setting with four steps, and it changes everything. Translations, tafsir, your journal, the settings themselves. Not only the Arabic. • Signing in with Quran.com is more reliable, and your account now stays with you across reinstalls. • Fixed an issue where the app could quietly stop syncing your journal to the cloud. • Stability improvements. Jazakum Allahu khayran to everyone who wrote in. Almost all of this came from your messages.
