Why

I wanted a Quran app that opens where I stopped reading and otherwise stays out of the way. Iqra has three tabs: Quran, Du'a and Tasbih. The colours come from a masjid in Mogadishu: marble, lapis and gold.

  • Home

    Opens on the surah and page where you stopped, with one Resume button.

  • Reading

    The mushaf page, a translation tab, and recitation underneath.

  • Du'a

    Morning, evening, after salah and before sleep.

  • Tasbih

    Tap the circle to count to 33. The week sits underneath.

Four of the screens.
The Iqra Ring in lapis blue, its small screen showing 033
The Iqra Ring. It shows the dhikr you pick in the app, and every press adds to your count.A concept. The ring doesn't exist yet.
