Thank you for using Sakina. This update makes Sakina more beautiful and easier to read than ever and everything stays free. No ads, no accounts, nothing about you tracked. • Every surah now opens with its name in true Quranic calligraphy, the way it appears in a printed mushaf. • A clearer, calmer look throughout larger, easier-to-read text in both light and dark. • Word by word: as the reciter reads, each word lights up in time, so you can follow along and learn. • A redesigned dhikr counter one clear tap circle with a gold progress ring, for istighfar and alhamdulillah. • Translations in 29 languages, from English and Français to اردو, বাংলা, and 中文. • In the word explorer, you now see each word exactly as it is recited, so what you read matches what you hear. May Allah accept it from all of us.

Thank you for using Sakina. If you are new here: Sakina is a free app to read the Quran, learn to read Arabic from the very first letter, and know your daily prayer times. No ads, no accounts, and nothing about you is tracked. In this update, we added a free course that teaches you to read Arabic step by step, from the 28 letters all the way to reading a full surah on your own. You can now tap any verse to see what each word means, where its root comes from, and how the grammar works. You can turn on a notification for each prayer and choose whether it plays the athan. And every surah now remembers the last verse you read, so you continue where you stopped. Open Sakina to read the whole Quran with word by word audio from real reciters, check your prayer times and the direction of the Qibla, and learn the language of the Quran at your own pace. It is free, and it will stay free.

Bismillah. This is the biggest update Sakina has ever had. • Read along, word by word — every word now glows in time with the recitation, so you can follow effortlessly. Available with Saad al-Ghamdi and four more beloved reciters. • Smooth, gapless recitation, with the Bismillah opening every surah — and you can download any reciter to listen fully offline. • A calmer, clearer page — larger, easier-to-read Arabic and translation, less clutter, and a beautiful new player. • A more accurate Qibla and clearer prayer times. Still completely free. Still no ads, no account, no tracking. Just you and the Quran.
