The next chapter of Ummahti Quran
1.5.0
My Hifz
You may remember an ayah, a passage, or a whole surah. My Hifz helps you find it, record where you are with it, and come back to practise.
Recite a passage you remember so the app can help locate it. Review the first and last ayahs, choose a state and save. Recitation recognition needs its optional model download; it does not assess pronunciation or certify memorisation. Say a surah, an ayah range or a juz. Where the phone supports on-device speech in your language, Ummahti proposes a reference for you to review. Typing and choosing manually are always available. Record several passages, a juz or a larger selection in one flow. Existing passages are kept by default. Review the selection and choose a state before saving; Undo is available.
Plan a khatm
Choose a date or a length, and Ummahti divides the Qur'an into daily readings. Home shows today's portion and one way into it, and nothing is ever marked read unless you say so.
A library of du'as
The du’as in Guide have grown into a library of 55 supplications on eleven shelves, for hardship, healing, protection, family, travel, sleep and every ordinary day. Every one names its source, and every narration its grading.
Recitation you can keep
Download surahs in your chosen reciter's voice and listen with no connection at all. You can see what is stored, how much room it takes, and remove any of it whenever you like.
Arrange Home the way you read
Home cards can now be moved, put away, or paired with the card beside it, including My Khatm, which no longer holds a fixed place. Continue Reading always stays first. Press and hold a card to arrange it, and Undo takes back any step.
Pass On the Light
Invite one person to the Qur’an in a couple of taps. Choose whether they should install Ummahti, see the website first, or simply listen on YouTube, and send a card that carries its own address so it still works where a caption is thrown away.
More answers in Guide
Guide now answers more of what people ask: wudu, the words after the adhan and after each prayer, everyday du’as, family ties and longing for a child. Ramadan, travel, illness and loss are fuller, and each topic now carries the du’as from the library that belong to it.
New translations, with their notes
Rowwad Translation Center’s English and Rachid Maach’s French join the translations you can choose, each with the translator’s explanatory notes kept on your phone. Set your translation language to English or French to choose one, then tap a note number in a verse, or open the verse’s options, to read a note. Translations you download now stay in a library, so switching between them needs no connection.
A new English transliteration
English transliteration now comes from MuslimNet's edition, carried inside the app. Its underlined and bold letters show how each word is said, and the key sits under the language list.
Open any juz, by the name you call it
The reading picker now has a Juz / Para list beside the surahs. Browse all thirty, see exactly where each one begins and ends, and open it there. Search finds them too, by number or by the para name you were taught: Juz 30, Para 30 and Amma all reach the same place.
Find a surah by the name you know it by
Search now understands what each surah is called in the languages Ummahti speaks. Bakara, Аль-Бакара and আল-বাকারা all reach Surah 2, alongside every spelling that already worked.
Ummahti fits the screen you are on
On a tablet, an unfolded foldable or a phone turned sideways, the reading keeps a column you can comfortably follow and the navigation stays centred within easy reach at the foot of the screen. Settings opens each page beside its list, the Qur'an can keep the surah and juz list open next to the text, and your saved verses and downloads fill the width instead of a single narrow strip.
Carry on reading from anywhere
Add a Continue reading tile to the panel you pull down from the top of your screen, and one tap opens Ummahti where you left off. You can add it from Settings.
Small changes, easier days.
- Type a reference such as 2:255 into the surah picker and it offers to open that verse.
- Settings has a search box, so any option is a few letters away.
- A shared verse now names its translator, and you can choose whether to include the translation.
- The play button shows when recitation is still loading, and offers to try again if it cannot start.
- Changing the app’s language no longer changes the translation you read.
- Anything you can swipe away can now also be removed with TalkBack, Switch Access or a keyboard.
- The navigation bar keeps every label whole at the largest text size.
- If Help & FAQ doesn’t answer your question, you can send it to us straight from there.
- Reflection of the Moment now takes turns between a verse and a hadith, draws on more of both, and names who graded each narration from Jamiʽ at-Tirmidhi.
338 sourced reflections from the Quran and authentic hadith, alongside private notes of your own.

Ummahti Guide
Describe what you are facing in your own words. Guide answers from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah, and every answer names the exact source you can open and read for yourself. It works fully offline, and nothing you type leaves your phone.
Du’as inside Guide
A curated set of Qur’anic and authentic Prophetic supplications, each with a reading aid, its meaning, its exact reference, and when it is authentically said. No invented repetition counts, and no promised outcomes.
Read, Save and Reflect
Every verse Guide shows you opens in the reader, saves to your bookmarks, or takes a private reflection, through the same reader, the same Saved and the same reflections you already use. Come back and Guide is still on the answer you left.
When you need support
Guide now tells an ordinary heavy week apart from an emergency, and answers each differently: practical, sourced guidance for the first, and a short, direct instruction to reach a person for the second. It is always one tap from Guide’s landing.
Reading Themes and Heritage
Twelve reading themes, each with a live preview and an honest note on where its pattern came from: derived from a tradition, broadly inspired by one, or Ummahti’s own. The theme picker in Settings works exactly as it always did; this sits beside it, for when you want to look before you choose.
Three of the twelve are new. Classic Ink is a monochrome reading environment: white paper, black ink and nothing else. Shiraz Dawn is cool stone with morning light arriving through coloured glass at the margins. Jali Moon is a pierced stone screen at night, at the lowest light the app emits. No reader’s chosen theme moves, and two accents were deepened so that labels and controls clear their contrast floor.
Mushaf al-Madinah
The seventh calligraphy style, set in the King Fahd Complex’s own face over the Complex’s own spelling of the text. A face and the orthography it was cut for are one decision rather than two, so Ummahti ships them as a pair.
Eleven more reciters
Thirty-eight voices now, murattal and mujawwad. Tap any verse to hear it, and your reading place stays exactly where you left it.
Video from the Ummahti channel
Previewed inside the app rather than sending you out to a browser.
Why “Ummahti”?
A new page under About: the name, and the narration it comes from, with its collection, reference and chapter. It reads offline. The short version is on the home page.
1.3.0
Sacred Times
Jumu’ah, Ramadan and the last ten nights, both Eids, Arafah, Ashura and the sacred months each change the light of the app and open onto an authored guide: what the time means, what the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions did, what you can do now, and the source behind every line.
A reflection library
Home draws from three hundred written reflections, each one anchored to a single exact ayah or to one graded narration. The source sits under every reflection, and tapping it opens it.
Eight more reciters
Yasser Al-Dosari, Nasser Al-Qatami, Khalid Al-Jalil, Idris Abkar, Fares Abbad, Saad Al-Ghamdi, Bandar Balila and Mustafa Ismail, which brought the choice to twenty-seven voices at the time.
Reading that scrolls itself
The page scrolls at a pace you set, in Verse Stream and Continuous Mushaf. Touch the page to pause; your pace is remembered.
Sleep timer
Set the recitation to fade out after a while, or at the end of the current surah.
Resize your Home cards
Press and hold any card on Home, then drag its handles. Corners resize continuously, each card adapts its layout, and the page reflows as you go.
Your bookmarks, arranged your way
Group saved verses into collections you name yourself. A verse can sit in as many as you like, and nothing is filed for you.
One reading place, when you want it
Keep Ayah on Unlock separate, share its place with your main reading, or move either journey to an exact ayah you choose.
And the rest
- A searchable surah picker, by name or number, showing where each surah was revealed.
- A quiet mark when you finish a juz, shown only after you have genuinely read through it.
- Shared verse cards drawn in the app’s own Qur’an typeface.
- The screen stays awake while you are actively reading, and returns to normal when you leave the reader.
- Offline Help and FAQ, searchable without a connection.
