Why Raah
أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ
"Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
AR-RA'D · 13:28 · SAHEEH INTERNATIONAL

Most of us give our phones a couple of hours a day and remember little of it. Raah keeps the same gesture and points it somewhere worthy. Swipe up, and the next ayah fills the screen. Two minutes or twenty, every scroll is a step on the path. Raah means exactly that: the way.

Questions

Asked and answered

Is Raah really free?

Yes. The whole Qur'an with every translation, the tafseer and the recitation are free, with no ads. Raah Plus is an optional subscription for reading plans and personal notes.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The Arabic text, translations and tafseer are built into the app. Recitation streams the first time and surahs you listen to are saved on your phone; you can also download the whole Qur'an's recitation from Settings.

Which languages are available?

English (Saheeh International and Rowwad), Urdu (Muhammad Ibrahim Junagarhi) and Hindi (Azizul Haq al-Omari), plus optional transliteration.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no sign-in and no account. Your progress, saved ayaat and notes stay on your phone.

Is Raah a source of religious rulings?

No. Raah helps you read, understand and listen. A translation conveys meaning but is not the Qur'an itself. For questions of faith and practice, please ask qualified scholars.

When can I download it?

Raah is coming to Google Play first, with the App Store soon after. Email us and we will let you know the day it lands, in shaa Allah.

I found a mistake. Who do I tell?

Please write to hello@raahquran.com. We check every report and pass text corrections on to the source.
