Tanzeel pairs disciplined memorisation tools with feedback from Ijazah-certified teachers — so your recitation is corrected by people, not guessed at by an algorithm.
All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.
Six surfaces designed to fit a serious daily practice. No ads, no clutter, no distraction from the text itself.
All 114 surahs with verse-by-verse Arabic, side-by-side translations in 20+ languages, and Tafsir at a long-press. Designed for reading sessions that last more than five minutes.
Record your recitation directly in the app and submit it to a certified teacher. Get an audio response with timestamps marking specific Tajweed mistakes.
The SM-2 algorithm — proven for language acquisition — ramps your reviews so memorised ayahs stay memorised. Five strength tiers from New to Memorised.
Tap a single word to hear it on its own. Listen, mimic, advance. Useful for learners working on makharij and slow practice.
Location-aware salah times via Aladhan, configurable madhhab and adjustments, plus a compass for Qibla — no separate app required.
A 12-week heat map of your memorisation activity, a streak that doesn't lie about late nights, and 24 achievements across five categories — bronze through diamond.
Here's the path most learners take in their first month with the app — designed to be obvious without being patronising.
Pick a display mode: Compact through Large — the entire app scales together (font, padding, corner radius) so the layout holds together at every size.
Choose a theme: Six surfaces inspired by traditional manuscripts — Modern Dark, Ocean Depth, Sunset Prayer, Forest Green, Royal Purple, Desert Calm — designed to be readable for hours.
Browse 114 surahs: By name, by revelation order, or grouped by Juz. Search jumps to any verse instantly.
Listen and follow: Tap an ayah to hear it; long-press for Tafsir. Auto-play moves through a surah while highlighting the verse being read.
Download for the road: Whole surahs cache to disk — no signal needed on the way to Fajr.
Add ayahs, not surahs: Pick a verse range or queue an entire surah. Each ayah enters the SM-2 schedule individually.
Daily session: A three-phase flow — new, recent review, long-interval review — set to your daily goal. Self-tests in four modes when you want a harder check.
Strength tiers: New → Learning → Familiar → Strong → Memorised. Tiers degrade if you skip review windows; consistency is the point.
Pick a teacher: Browse Ijazah-certified instructors by language, qira'at, gender, and average response time. Filter to people whose schedule matches yours.
Record & submit: Inline recorder, with the option to add a note about what you're working on (a specific rule, a particular juz).
Receive feedback: Audio or video responses, usually within 24-48 hours, with timestamps for specific corrections. Track your improvement over time.
Accessibility built in: High contrast, bold text, larger touch targets, reduced motion. All four can be enabled together via the "Low Vision" preset.
Display modes: Compact (0.9×), Standard (1.0×), Comfortable (1.15×), Large (1.35×). Everything scales — fonts, spacing, radii — so nothing breaks at the extremes.
Heat map: 12 weeks of activity at a glance. Darker days mean more reviews completed. No streak shaming, no email guilt.
Quiet stats: Total ayahs memorised, current learning items, due reviews, best streak. Nothing more.
Achievements: 24 unlocks across five categories, but they live in their own tab — not in your face every time you open the app.
Every teacher in the network holds an Ijazah — an unbroken chain of transmission going back to the Prophet ﷺ. Algorithms can spot a missed letter; only a teacher can tell you why your dhāl sounds like a dāl on the third line.

The expert feedback caught a habit I'd had for years — pulling my qaaf forward into a kaaf. Two recordings later it was gone.
I'd tried four other Quran apps. This is the first one that didn't feel like a study aid bolted onto a sales funnel. The Hifz scheduling alone is worth the App Store install.
The word-by-word audio fixed my makharij more than three years of weekend classes did. I can finally hear what I'm doing wrong.
My eight-year-old asks for it before bed. The streak heat map is doing 80% of the parenting on memorisation nights.
The fact that translations are bundled offline matters more than I expected. I read on the train, no signal, and everything just works.
I appreciate the restraint. There's no scoreboard, no leaderboard, no "share your progress" pop-up. It treats Hifz as worship, not a game.
Pricing, privacy, devices, and what to expect from your first month with the app.
Yes. The complete Quran, all translations, audio recitations, prayer times, bookmarks, Hifz, hadith, duas and the quiz are all free with no time limit. Expert tutoring is the only paid surface — and it's pay-per-submission, not a subscription.
iOS 14 and up — iPhone and iPad. There's an Apple Watch companion for daily verse and prayer times, plus home-screen widgets in three sizes and a lock-screen widget. Android is on the roadmap but not committed to a date.
Quran text, all translations, hadith, duas, and your memorisation data work fully offline. Audio recitations, expert tutoring, and AI assistance need a connection — but you can pre-download specific surahs or whole reciter libraries for offline listening.
The interface is in English. Quran translations are available in 20+ languages — English, Arabic, Urdu, French, German, Spanish, Turkish, Indonesian and more — viewable side-by-side. Translations download on demand from Quran.com's open API.
It's the SM-2 algorithm — the same one Anki uses — adapted for ayah-level review. Each ayah carries an easiness factor and an interval; correct answers stretch the interval, incorrect answers compress it. Strength tiers (New through Memorised) are surfaced UI on top of the underlying schedule, so you have something concrete to see.
Six themes (Modern Dark, Ocean Depth, Sunset Prayer, Forest Green, Royal Purple, Desert Calm), four display modes (Compact 0.9× through Large 1.35×), high contrast, bold text, larger touch targets and reduced motion — combinable individually or via three presets (Standard, Easy Reading, Low Vision).
37 reciters across categories — including Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Saad Al-Ghamdi, Sudais & Shuraim, Maher Al-Muaiqly, Ahmed Al-Ajamy and many others. Each can be downloaded surah-by-surah for offline play.
24 unlocks across five categories — Learning, Mastery, Streaks, Surah completion, Special. Each tier (Bronze through Diamond) acknowledges a milestone but is kept in its own tab; the home view never tries to upsell you on the next badge.
Tap to bookmark, long-press to add a personal note. Both are searchable and sync across your devices via your Tanzeel account. Notes are end-to-end encrypted in transit and stored alongside your account on our infrastructure.
Per-submission: $5 for a single feedback recording. Bundles bring it down — 5 for $20, 10 for $35, 20 for $60. A handful of senior teachers price slightly higher (typically $7-10/submission) for faster turnaround. Optional monthly unlimited plans are available at the teacher's discretion.
Yes — every teacher in the network holds a verified Ijazah in Quran recitation. Many hold Ijazah in multiple Qira'at. Each profile lists the chain (sanad), where they studied, languages they teach in, and student reviews from prior submissions.
Most teachers respond in 24-48 hours; the average across the network is 26 hours. Premium teachers offer same-day response for an additional fee. You'll be notified the moment your feedback lands — push notifications can be turned off if that's not what you want.
Several teachers run formal Ijazah programmes — typically 18-36 months of regular review covering a complete recitation. Your in-app progress carries directly into their tracking, so you don't restart your records when you commit to the longer path.
Yes. Filter by gender when browsing teachers; the network includes both male and female Ijazah-certified instructors. Many female learners prefer learning from female teachers, and that option is always present.
All traffic is TLS-encrypted; your recordings sit in encrypted S3 storage and are only ever accessible to the teacher you choose. We don't sell data, run ads, or share with third parties beyond the bare minimum needed to operate the service. Read the full privacy policy.
No. The Quran shouldn't share screen real estate with ads. Tutoring revenue funds the rest of the app, full stop. If that ever stops being viable, we'll tell you directly before changing the model.
Base install is around 50 MB. Bundled hadith (Bukhari + Muslim) adds ~25 MB. Audio is on demand: a typical surah at high quality is 2-5 MB; downloading the entire Quran in one reciter at standard quality is around 600 MB.
Yes — bookmarks, notes, memorisation progress, downloaded translations and settings sync across all your iOS devices when you're signed in. Sync happens automatically on connect; there's no manual button to forget to press.
The Quran text comes from verified sources and is checked against the King Fahd Complex Mushaf. If you spot something off — text, vowel marks, ayah breaks — report it via Settings → Support → Report Issue. We verify with scholars before any change ships.
Yes — the app is family-friendly and many of our youngest users are 7-10 year olds working through Juz Amma. Streaks and achievements help kids stay consistent. We recommend a parent oversees expert tutoring submissions until the child is comfortable.
Start with Surah Al-Fatiha. In the Hifz Library, filter by Juz 30 and add the first three short surahs to your queue. Set a daily goal of five reviews. Listen to one ayah on word-by-word audio before you try to recite it. After two weeks, submit a recording to a teacher for a baseline.
In-app via Settings → Support, or by email at support@tanzeelalquran.com. Most replies come back within 24 hours; account or billing issues we treat as priority.
Please. The accessibility presets, the offline word-audio cache, and the heat map were all user-requested. Submit ideas through Settings → Support → Feature Request — we read every one.
Email us — usually we reply same day.
Free on the App Store. No account required to start, no upsell on first launch, no email harvesting before your first surah.
وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا
