إIqra AI
Features

Every feature, explained

Iqra AI is built around one belief: the best way to learn the Quran is to hear it, see it, understand it - and then practice. Here's how every part of the app works.

Audio engine

Three-stage playback that respects how you listen

Every ayah plays in a deliberate sequence so each phase has space to land: meaning first, then sound, then a few new words to take with you.

  • Translation TTS in your language (5 voices via Gemini TTS)
  • Mishary Rashid Alafasy's Arabic recitation with word-level sync
  • Three keywords offered after each ayah, with a 4-second auto-advance
  • Bismillah injected as the first ayah of every surah (except Al-Fatiha and At-Tawbah)
  • Background playback, Media Session controls, OS-level integration

AI Tafseer

Exegesis you can have a conversation with

Tap the Tafseer icon and a full-screen sheet opens with a 200-300 word AI-generated explanation. Sentences narrate one at a time. When you're done, ask your own questions.

  • Grounded in Ibn Kathir, Al-Jalalayn and At-Tabari
  • Sentence-by-sentence streaming TTS narration
  • Follow-up chat for "why?", "what about...", "how does this connect to..."
  • Suggested questions tuned to challenge assumptions
  • Auto-stops when the modal closes or you change verses
Excerpt The opening of Surah Al-Ikhlas establishes pure monotheism. The command "Qul" (Say) addresses the Prophet directly, instructing him to declare a foundational truth: God is One. Classical commentators emphasise that "Ahad" denies any kind of multiplicity, distinguishing tawhid from numerical oneness.
Suggested follow-up How does the meaning of "Ahad" differ from "Wahid" elsewhere in the Quran?

  • Point-based scoring, badges and streaks
  • Progress synced to Firestore - keep learning across devices
