The Noorani Qaida is a classic textbook for learning to read the Quran — developed in India in the early 20th century and spread across the Ottoman region. It has been taught in madrasas and mosques for generations. We've digitized it into a premium mobile app for iOS and Android, with hafiz audio, color-coded tajweed notation, and 16 structured lessons.

Yes, for now — all lessons are open. The long-term plan is a one-time family license — not a subscription, not a freemium dark pattern. Buy once, use as a family for as long as you want.

Sacred text and a subscription don't go together. More on the About page.

From the first version: Bosnian, English, Turkish. Arabic is the sacred text — it stays in Arabic (Amiri Quran font). All instruction, transliteration, and context are localized.

Planned for the next phase: Indonesian, Urdu, French, German.

Yes. All audio and lessons download once during install or on demand. You don't need internet to learn — only for the first download and later for progress sync (optional).

An average learner doing 8 minutes a day finishes all 16 lessons in 90 to 120 days. You can go faster — the app doesn't gate anything by time. You can go slower — it's not a competition.

For adults learning for the first time, we plan 4-6 months. For children from 7 years up, similar.

For the foundation — yes. For certification or ijazah — no. The app brings you to the level where you can read ayat from juz Amma on your own. But for progress in qira'ah — ijazah, more qira'at variants, tahfiz — you need a living mentor. The app is not a replacement for a mu'allim.

The isnad tradition (chain of transmission) is irreplaceable. We are a tool, not a substitute.

We follow the Hafs 'an 'Ãsim qira'at(the most widespread in the world, standard "rasm Othmani" variant). The visual presentation follows the Madinah mushaf, most familiar to Bosnian learners. We didn't add alternative qira'at for the first phase — that would scatter focus.

A qualified hafiz from our region, with 14+ years of madrasa experience and ijazah in the Hafs 'an 'Ãsim qira'at. All audio is his. We didn't use a synthetic voice or generated audio.

We'll announce the identity together with the app's launch. More context on the About page.

The "Color Coded Quran" tradition has existed for decades — letters are visually colored based on pronunciation rules. We use 4 semantic colors: brown (heavy letters / isti'la), orange-coral (qalqalah), blue (madd), purple (ghunnah).

The goal isn't to memorize rules — you see them. The brain learns through recognition. Colors are muted and used as chip backgrounds, never as primary UI color.

The app is designed for children 7+ and adults. It's not infantile — no cartoon characters, gamification animations, or reward mechanics that worry parents. The typography is legible for older adults too.

For younger children (5-7), we recommend parental supervision — short sessions, more repetition.

Yes. No chat, no online contact with strangers, no ads. All content is curated and reviewed. The app has Apple's Made for Kids compliance and is listed as 4+ Family Friendly.

The app is intentionally short. 8 minutes a day is a recommendation, not a minimum. No infinite scroll, no streaks that punish, no gamification bait.

If the child wants more — great, let them pick up the mushaf. That's the ultimate goal.

iOS 16.0+ (iPhone and iPad). Android 9.0+ (API level 28+). Built with Expo SDK 54 and React Native — a standard stack any normal smartphone from the last 5 years can handle.

A web version is planned for phase 2 — until then, native mobile only.

Initial download is around 45 MB. All audio (all 16 lessons with the hafiz) takes another ~120 MB when downloaded. You can download only the lessons you're actively using — the rest stay on-demand.

Yes. It automatically follows the system theme (iOS settings / Android dark mode toggle), and you can manually force it. Dark mode uses the deep forest palette (#0F1714 bg) — warm black, not clinical gray.

Not planned for v1. Reasons: learning to read requires a screen with live Arabic text, which doesn't work well on a watch screen. Notification icons for reminders are supported.

The minimum: learning progress (locally on the phone). If you create an account — optional — it syncs to our server so you can track progress across devices. The server is in the EU (Frankfurt), GDPR-compliant.

We don't collect: location, contacts, microphone (except in tahfiz mode when we tell you), tracking ID, analytics. No Facebook SDK, no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel. Only our own aggregated telemetry (number of opens per lesson), for product improvement — no per-user line items.

No. Nobody gets our data. Not an analytics provider, not an ad network, not a partner. Apple's App Store privacy nutrition label is clean — check before installing if you want confirmation.

In the app: Settings → Profile → Delete account. It's deleted immediately, with all data, locally and on the server. We keep no backup "in case you change your mind".

Alternatively: email nooraniqaida.platform@gmail.com and we'll do it manually.

Plan: ~30 BAM (~15 EUR) one-time per family. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no upgraded tiers. Existing free users will receive lifetime grandfathered access — we'll never lock something you've already started using.

In progress: review by the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina — not for fatwa (not needed for a textbook), but for pedagogical validation. Similar approach for Diyanet (Turkey) and UK MCB. We'll announce details on the Press page when they're finalized.
