Bayan: Islamic Study Tool

WHAT IS BAYAN

Bayan is a library and study app designed to learn Islam from the books you already own: scholarly works, lessons, handwritten notes, annotated pages. Everything is organized around the 5 pillars of Islam and the 6 pillars of faith. Ideal to return to foundations, progress with method, and truly retain knowledge.

Important note: Bayan is not a Quran reading app (mushaf). It supports you with reading plans and an hourglass to manage your time, but the reading happens on your physical materials.

Authentic hadith (meaning): It is reported from Abu ad-Darda that the Messenger of Allah said: “Allah makes easy a path to Paradise for whoever takes a path seeking knowledge. The angels lower their wings in approval for the seeker of knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even the fish in the water, ask forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the devoted worshipper is like the full moon over the other stars. The scholars are the heirs of the prophets. The prophets did not leave gold or silver behind, they left knowledge. Whoever takes it has taken a generous share.”

WHY BAYAN NOW

Because the blessed month should not be lived in distraction. Bayan helps you: 1. Centralize your reading and notes, even from your photo library. 2. Clarify your intention: why am I reading, what do I expect from this book. 3. Keep the essentials: vocabulary, proofs, questions, summaries. 4. Instantly find a reference when someone asks you.

KEY FEATURES 1. Reading plans and hourglass (focus) Choose a plan (ex: “100 verses per day”) based on your available time. The built in hourglass helps you stay focused, session after session. 2. Scan and import your notes Digitize pages from your real library. Also add images from your gallery (class notes, diagrams). Everything is centralized. 3. OCR and global search With text recognition (OCR), search a keyword across all your pages and annotations. Never lose the reference of a hadith, a definition, or a quote, even if your notes mix French and Arabic. 4. Smart flashcards (review) Do not let knowledge slip away. Turn your reading into review cards. Bayan adapts training to your difficulties to anchor knowledge over time. 5. Shareable reminders (sadaqa jariya) Send a useful reminder to a loved one (quote, scanned page, note), presented with elegance. The recipient can open it, keep it as a widget on iPhone, and react. 6. Library tracking Track your progress, mark books in progress, finished, or lent out.

PRIVACY AND ETHICS Bayan is built to remain a pure study tool: 1. No ads. 2. No unnecessary distraction. 3. No commercial exploitation of your data.
