About Ikra' — Word by Word Quran
Ikra' is a free companion for memorizing the Qur'an slowly, word by word. Most apps give you the verse and its translation. Ikra' gives you the verse, and then every single word inside it — so you stop guessing which Arabic word carried which meaning. FEATURES • Word-by-word meanings for all 6,236 verses — 77,429 words, in English • Listen: Arabic recitation by Mishary Rashid Alafasy, followed by the translation • Voiced translation: hear whole surahs read through like an audiobook; works on the car screen too • English and Turkish: one tap switches the entire app (Pickthall / Elmalili) • Prayer times and reminders, calculated for your location • Qibla compass with magnetic declination correction • Learn to pray from scratch, a tajweed school, and a section of supplications • Root tree: see every word in the Qur'an that grows from the same root • The 300 most frequent words — learn them and you understand roughly half of what you read • Qur'anic stories told only from verses and sound sources, each with an evidence badge • Comprehension tests, a daily lesson, khatm tracking and a progress map • Works without internet; the entire Qur'an text lives on your device OUR PRINCIPLES Not one sentence without a source. The Arabic text comes from the Tanzil project, verified against the Madinah Mushaf. The English translation is Marmaduke Pickthall's (public domain). The word-by-word English is the work of Dr. Shehnaz Shaikh and Ms. Kausar Khatri, published under Public Domain Mark 1.0. The app is free, carries no advertising, and collects no data whatsoever. "Read, in the name of thy Lord who createth!" (Al-Alaq 1)
What’s new
Version 1.7 · Updated October 9, 2026
• Daily Verse Notifications: 1 to 3 verses a day from across the Qur'an, with their meaning. Tap one to open that verse. Nothing is sent to a server. • Haptic feedback: a gentle tap when you mark a verse memorized, and a distinct feel for right and wrong quiz answers. You can turn it off in Settings. • The prayer section and the 300 Words course now show English transliteration. • Prayer Mode setup, celebration and share cards, the daily lesson, notifications and alerts are now fully in English, with the Pickthall translation. • Prayer time and memorization reminders are now scheduled a week ahead, so they keep coming even if you don't open the app for a while. • Long word meanings no longer run off the screen. • Compare with your own voice now asks for microphone access and works. • Jumping to a verse now opens the page right at that verse. • Small fixes.
