Islamic classics, finally read

Free · In‑App Purchases

The books you always meant to read — al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Battuta — now in clear, natural English. Begin the Ihya on today's commute. Every book open to all. The books you always meant to read — al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Battuta — finally in your ears. Not another someday. Begin the Ihya on the drive home, sit with the lives of the righteous while the dishes soak, walk Ibn Battuta's thirty-year journey on your evening walk. The heritage you revere but never had time to enter, moving through you a chapter at a time. THE GREAT WORKS — OPEN TO EVERYONE • Ihya' Ulum al-Din — al-Ghazali's 40-book map of the human heart • Al-Bidaya wa-l-Nihaya — Ibn Kathir on creation, the prophets, and the Last Day • Stories of the Prophets — the prophetic lives, told in full • Tuhfat an-Nuzzar — Ibn Battuta's 30 years across the Muslim world • Siyar A'lam an-Nubala' — adh-Dhahabi's lives of the eminent New books added regularly — and everyone gets them. TRANSLATED FRESH, EDITED BY HAND These masterworks have long existed in English only as dense, expensive, multi-volume academic translations — the kind that sit unopened on a shelf. So we made our own, from the source. • From the source — rendered from the public-domain classical Arabic of Al-Maktaba Al-Shamila, the standard reference library for the tradition • Edited by hand — drafted with AI assistance, then carefully edited by people who care about getting it right; our own work, end to end, not recycled century-old prose • Clear, natural English — so you can follow the meaning, not fight the language FROM LISTENING TO TRULY STUDYING • Living Manuscript — the full text scrolls in sync with the audio • Masterclasses — study each classic chapter by chapter, guided • JM Scholar — ask about any passage; it draws on classical sources, names the AI behind its answers, and defers every fatwa to qualified scholars • The Lantern — a quiet, private record of your listening and study, to help you keep your light burning and finish what you start • Apple Watch, Lock & Home Screen widgets, variable speed, sleep timer, offline downloads, Nasheed mixer • Share a Moment — turn a passage you love into a short video to share • A calm, ad-free, silver-on-black design — a quiet place worthy of these books ONE LIBRARY, OPEN TO ALL No locked shelf. No early-access tier. Knowledge shouldn't sit behind a velvet rope — every book is open to every listener. The only thing that differs is how long you listen. • Free — 5 hours of listening every month, across the entire library • Joyful+ — $6.99/month or $59.99/year. Unlimited listening, plus Masterclasses, JM Scholar, the Living Manuscript, Apple Watch, widgets, and offline downloads. Turn the time you can't get back into time with the tradition. Joyful+ is billed to your App Store account and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
