AlBayan: Quran & Tafsir
Deep 3-layer Sunni commentary
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
AlBayan brings the Quran to life with the depth of traditional Sunni scholarship and the clarity of modern AI-powered commentary.
Every verse is paired with three layers of insight — from the simple plain-meaning translation, to the historical and contextual background drawn from classical Sunni tafsir sources, all the way to deep scholarly reflection that draws together the verse's wisdom for the reader today. Whether you're starting your study of the Qur'an or returning to a passage you've read a thousand times, AlBayan helps you see something new.
Highlights:
• Gems — Bite-Sized Verse Insights
Tap any verse to unveil its precious Gems — AI-curated concept bubbles that distill the ayah into its core themes (Divine Mercy, Lord of Worlds, Grateful Heart, and more). Each Gem reveals a short core insight and an explanation of why it matters, letting you grasp the wisdom of any verse in seconds before diving deeper.
• Deep 3-Layer Sunni Commentary
Plain meaning, classical context, and scholarly reflection on every verse — AI-powered and grounded in the works of trusted Sunni mufassirin like Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari, and al-Qurtubi.
• Beautiful Recitation Audio
Listen to renowned reciters including Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Abdurrahmaan As-Sudais, Saad Al-Ghamadi, Ahmed Al-Ajamy, Maher Al-Muaiqly, and Yasser Ad-Dussary, with verse-by-verse synchronization.
• Built for Every Day
