Islamic Figures

Islamic Figures is a carefully sourced encyclopedia of the people who shaped Islam — the Prophets, the Companions, the Mothers of the Believers, the Household of the Prophet, the Successors, and the scholars who came after them. Fully bilingual Arabic and English. Works entirely offline. WHAT'S INSIDE - figures across 8 categories — Prophets & Messengers (25), Mothers of the Believers (11), Children of the Prophet (7), Companions, Scholars, the Successors / Tabi'un, Leaders & Conquerors, and Muslim Women Scholars. - Full biographies, not summaries. Every figure has a short profile and a long-form life story covering birth, migration, battles, character, and passing. - Why they carry their title. A dedicated section explaining the origin of each kunya and epithet — why Abu Bakr is "al-Siddiq", why Khalid is "the Sword of Allah". - Qur'an and hadith. Verses revealed about a figure, and narrations mentioning them — each with its book, number, and grading. - Sources you can check. Every biography lists its references — Siyar A'lam al-Nubala, al-Isaba, the Sahihayn — with the author named. - Milestones. A dated timeline of the key events in each life. - Family links. Fathers, spouses, children and grandchildren are linked to each other — tap any relation to open that person. - Figure of the Day. A different figure each day, on the home screen and on your Home Screen widget. - Prophets Timeline. All 25 prophets in chronological order, from Adam to Muhammad. - The Household. The wives, children and grandchildren of the Prophet in one dedicated screen. - Search and filters. By name, title, biography, category, or Companion classification — the Ten Promised Paradise, the Emigrants, the Helpers, the People of Badr, the People of the Suffah, the Rightly-Guided Caliphs. - Arabic and English, switched instantly.

Hadith are labelled with their grading. Where scholars differ on a date or a detail, the app says so rather than picking one silently. Built with the intention of spreading beneficial knowledge.
