Learn recitation and reading
Recite aloud and Iqra follows you word by word, marking a slip while you are still reciting. Check your hifz with Test Me. No account, no ads.
Iqra helps you read, recite, listen to and memorize the Quran. Open the Mushaf and recite: Iqra listens on your iPhone or iPad, follows you word by word on the page, and notes possible slips so you can review them.
READ, RECITE, LISTEN
• Three modes at the bottom of the page: Read, Recite and Listen
• Focus leaves only the page on screen; it comes on by itself while you recite or listen
RECITE AND REVISE
• Tap the microphone and begin: the page follows your recitation word by word
• Possible slips (a word missed, changed or added, a letter said as another, a wrong short vowel) are listed for review, with an optional buzz or sound
• On each mistake, You and Reciter play the word as you recited it and as the reciter reads it
• Repeating a word or restarting an Ayah is recognized, not marked as a mistake
• Recite any passage to find where it is in the Quran, with similar verses (mutashabihat)
• Progress shows your activity, the pages you have recited and your mistakes in one place
MEMORIZE
• Hide the words and each one appears as you recite it; tap the bulb for a hint of the next word
• Repeat an Ayah, or a stretch up to the end of the page, the Surah or an Ayah you choose, as many times as you need, with adjustable pauses and speed
• Test Me: Iqra opens Ayahs at random from a Surah, a Juz, pages or what you know by heart, for you to recite from memory; weak pages come up more often
• After each question, your score and slips; the Ayahs you missed can be tested again, and past tests are kept in Progress
LISTEN
• Well-known reciters in Murattal, Mujawwad and Muallim (teaching) styles
• Listening starts from the Ayah you are reading, and the page follows the reciter word by word
READ AND REFLECT
• Madani Mushaf (1421H and 1405H), Ottoman naskh in the style of Sheikh Hamdullah, IndoPak (13, 15 and 16 lines) and Uthmani digital text, one tap away on the Mushaf button

• Optional Tajweed colors; Ayahs of Sajdah are highlighted on the page
• Translations of the meanings of the Quran in over 70 languages, and word-by-word meanings in 11 languages, beside the word you tap; your language's translation is built in
• Over 100 tafsirs in more than 30 languages, including Ibn Kathir, al-Muyassar, as-Sa'di, al-Mukhtasar, al-Qurtubi and at-Tabari; each downloads once and stays available offline
• Meanings & Tafsirs: choose the translations and tafsirs you study, and which of them read under each Ayah in the Tafsir view
• Search by Surah name or by the words of an Ayah or its translation; typos and other spellings are forgiven

• Several khatms side by side, each with Continue and Mark Page; set the page with − and + or type it
YOUR LIBRARY
• Save any Ayah with one tap, and keep Ayahs in collections: Hifz, Dua and Tadabbur come ready, and you can add your own
• Write notes on an Ayah or a passage, and read them again in tafsir and in the Tafsir view
• An Ayah you slipped on is saved to Hifz in one tap
• Your library stays on your device and can be exported to a file
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Speech recognition runs on your device; your recitation is not uploaded while you recite
