What has changed, newest first.
The duas can now be read in Malay. Mishkat al-Masabih can be read in Chinese from beginning to end, and Sunan Ibn Majah begins.
[ QURAN ]
- The duas can now be read in Malay, translated for Qiyamah: each one only the words of the dua, not the whole ayah.
[ HADITH ]
- Chinese now covers Mishkat al-Masabih in full, all 4,428 hadiths, and begins Sunan Ibn Majah with its first 2,000. Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Abi Dawud were already complete.
Mishkat al-Masabih can now be read in Chinese up to its 4,000th hadith.
[ HADITH ]
- Chinese now covers the first 4,000 of the 4,428 hadiths of Mishkat al-Masabih, up from the first 2,000. Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Abi Dawud were already complete.
Every notification now carries a small drawing of what it is about, so the list can be told apart at a glance. The whole of Sunan Abi Dawud can now be read in Chinese, and Mishkat al-Masabih begins.
[ HADITH ]
- Chinese now covers Sunan Abi Dawud in full, all 5,276 hadiths, and begins Mishkat al-Masabih with its first 2,000. Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and Sunan an-Nasa'i were already complete.
[ READING ]NEW
- Each notification now has a small drawing of its subject at the end of its row: a surah's headpiece, a page with its commentary, a strand of beads for practice, the moon for a streak. The drawing fades out before the words begin.
- A notification you have read turns grey, drawing and bullet both, and keeps its place in the list. The bullet used to disappear.
- On a computer the notifications panel is wider, so more fits without scrolling. The arrow at the end of each row is gone; pressing a row still takes you to what it describes.
- Each of the day's fixes in the notifications is now an icon. Press one and a small card opens in place, saying what changed, with a button that takes you to it.
- When a fix is added to the day's fixes after you have read them, the item now returns to the top of the notifications, unread, with the new fix's button marked. It used to stay where it was, looking read.
[ FIXES ]
- The notification about Qiyamah English now offers the switch to it whatever translation you are reading. It used to offer it only to readers on Saheeh International.
- The Streaks page now has the same width and margins as Memorisation, Dashboard and Reading plan. It was narrower, so its edges jumped as you moved between them.
Qiyamah Bangla, our own translation of the whole Quran, is now a translation you can choose, and Qiyamah English is what a new reader opens in. Memorisation gains a practice queue and a report of every streak, and a notifications drawer now tells you when something changes.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- Qiyamah Bangla: our own translation of the whole Quran, written for the app from the Arabic in the plain, warm Bangla of a home, is now one of the translations you can choose.
- Every surah now opens with the basmala and its translation above the first verse, as in the mushaf. Al-Fatihah, where it is the first verse, and at-Tawbah, which has none, are left as they are.
- Qiyamah English, our own translation, is now what the Quran opens in for a new reader, with Ma'arif al-Qur'an as the commentary beside it. If you were already reading, nothing has changed for you: your translation and commentary are the ones you had.
- Our own translations carry a green Recommended mark in the translation list, wherever a language has others to choose from.
- Our translations are now called by their full names everywhere: Qiyamah Bangla, Qiyamah Chinese and the rest, in the hadith and dua lists and in the credit under the text.
[ READING ]NEW
- Streaks is now in the menu, under Reading, on a computer, a tablet and a phone.
- Notifications now cover every change, including the day's smaller fixes in one item with a button for each.
- A bell now opens a list of the changes worth knowing about, and each one takes you to what it describes. It is in the top bar on a computer, and in the Menu and on Home on a phone or tablet.
- A whole surah's worth can now be taken off a memorisation list at once, from the bin beside its heading, and Select lets you remove exactly the ayahs you tick. Undo puts all of them back.
- You can now take an ayah off your Learning or Memorised list, and move a memorised ayah back to Learning when it has slipped. Nothing asks you to confirm: the row leaves at once and Undo stays for a few seconds. The days you practised it stay on your charts.
- Every row in Learning, Memorised and Duas now ends in the same buttons, in the same order, and on a phone or tablet they are icons that cannot wrap. On a phone each ayah takes one line, so an open surah shows about twice as many.
- The Quran reader now shows, as soon as a surah opens, which verses you have saved, which are in Learning and which are memorised. The Memorise buttons on a ruku and on the surah offer only the verses not yet on your list.
- The memorise icon beside a verse is now a switch: press a lit one to take the verse off your list, with Undo.
- Practice is now a queue you shape. Play a whole surah from your list, play the whole list, or tick exactly the ayahs you want and play those. Previous and Next step through the queue, and neither marks anything as memorised.
- You choose how the queue runs: how many times each ayah repeats before it moves on (1, 3, 5, 10, or until you move on), whether to go straight through or build up by joining each new ayah to the ones before it, and whether to stop at the end or start over. Your choice is remembered.
- A new Streaks page keeps every streak you have had, not only the current one: how long each lasted, and the ayahs memorised, practised and read, the letters, and the surahs finished inside it. Open one to see it day by day.
[ FIXES ]
- The practice player's two panes now reach the bottom of its frame, and a long verse scrolls inside it where its credit line used to be cut off.
- Notifications no longer show tomorrow's date.
- The offer to switch to Qiyamah English now stays in its notification after you have read it, for as long as you are on Saheeh International. Choosing to keep Saheeh International is remembered and not asked again.
- In Reader mode the first ruku mark no longer leaves two lines one under the other beneath a surah's heading.
- The ruku sign is now the letter by itself, without the circles around it, in the same colour as the sajdah sign in every reading mode.
- In Editorial mode the ruku mark no longer pushes the first verse's number off its line. The mark and its caption now sit on one line above the verse, with the mark in the margin.
- A paused verse now shows Resume on its own button. It used to stay on Pause, which looked stuck even though pressing it carried on.
- On a phone, the Save and Memorise buttons at a ruku marker are now two small icon buttons that sit on the marker's own line, instead of labelled buttons that broke onto a line beneath it.
- Bangla and other non-Latin words quoted in these notes now appear in the same typeface the reader uses for that language, instead of whatever your device fell back to. This covers every past note as well as new ones.
Qiyamah English, our own translation of the whole Quran, can now be chosen in the reader. The Bangla duas now speak in plain Bangla words.
[ QURAN ]
- Qiyamah English: our own translation of the whole Quran, written for the app from the Arabic in plain modern English, is now one of the translations you can choose, and the reader keeps it chosen on this device and on your account.
- The Bangla duas now use a plain Bangla word wherever Bangla has one, for prayer, repentance and the messengers among others, and call on Allah without the old হে. In English and Bangla alike, Allah's name ar-Rahim now reads "the Ever-Merciful" (চিরদয়ালু) in every dua.
The duas can now be read in French, Javanese, Persian and Italian.
[ QURAN ]
- The duas can now be read in French, Javanese, Persian and Italian, the Javanese in the krama a person prays in and the Persian right to left: each translated for Qiyamah from the Arabic, and each only the words of the dua, not the whole ayah.
The duas can now be read in Turkish, Vietnamese, Marathi, Telugu, Korean, Tamil, Urdu, Indonesian and German.
[ QURAN ]
- The duas can now be read in nine more languages: Turkish, Vietnamese, Marathi, Telugu, Korean, Tamil, Urdu, Indonesian and German. Each is translated for Qiyamah from the Arabic, in plain modern words a person can pray aloud, and covers only the words of the dua, not the whole ayah.
A new Duas section gathers 43 prayers from the Quran, each translated for Qiyamah into nine languages and with a journey to learn it by heart, and the home page offers a Dua of the Day. Saved duas get their own tab on your memorisation page. The Quran reader now marks every place of sajdah and every ruku, and Chinese now covers all of Sunan al-Nasa'i.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- Places of sajdah are marked with ۩. Tap the mark under the verse to see how the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools each read it, and choose your own school so the label speaks for it.
- Each ruku is now marked where it begins, with the ع sign from the Indo-Pak mushaf. Save a ruku to come back to, or add its verses to your memorisation in one tap. In study mode a ruku folds away under its own heading.
- Duas: 43 prayers the Quran records, from Adam's to the angels', sorted by subject and showing who said each one. Open any of them to learn it by heart, a step at a time. Search finds them too, by a word, a prophet's name or a reference like 20:114.
- Dua of the Day on the home page: a different dua each day, chosen by your own date, so it stays the same all day and changes at your midnight.
- Finishing a memorisation journey while signed in now offers to add its ayahs to your memorisation list, as the journey always said it could.
- Each dua now has its own translation, written for Qiyamah from the Arabic in English, Bangla, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Punjabi, the last in Shahmukhi and read right to left. Each covers only the dua's words, never the rest of the ayah around them.
- Choose the language of the duas yourself, from the Duas page, any dua, or your dashboard's preferences. Until you choose, they follow the language of your Quran translation. Signed in, your choice follows you to every device; signed out, it is kept on this one.
- Go from one dua to the next without going back: each dua shows its place in the list you opened it from, such as 5 of 15 in Forgiveness, with Previous and Next, and the finish screen offers the next dua by name.
- Listen to the duas one after another: Play on plays each dua once and moves to the next, and Play all on the Duas page or your Duas tab starts from the first. On a phone it keeps going with the screen locked, and the lock screen moves between duas.
- A dua that is part of a longer ayah now plays only its own words, both when listening and when repeating it to memorise, using the reciter's word timings.
- Save a dua from its page and it appears in a new Duas tab on your memorisation page: a plain list, with no learning or memorised status, and a Practice button that opens its journey.
[ READING ]NEW
- The two reading cards on the home page, Al-Qiyamah and Friday's al-Kahf, now open as guided reads: just that portion, with ticks on the verses you have read and a clear finish. Your place is kept on your device, and on your account when you are signed in.
- Every place in the sidebar and the Menu now has its own icon, and keeps it everywhere it appears: Hadith is a scroll, Prayer times a sun and moon, Duas a raised palm, Memorisation a book with a heart. No two places share a mark any more, so the collapsed sidebar can be read by its icons alone.
[ HADITH ]
- Chinese coverage of Sunan al-Nasa'i is now complete. All 5,768 hadiths are readable in Chinese.
- Sunan al-Darimi's 24 books now have names in English, from the Introduction and the Book of Purification to the Virtues of the Quran, where the list used to show only numbers. The collection no longer says Arabic only, now that it can be read in full in Bangla.
[ FIXES ]
- The shadow around the floating reading-progress bar was cut off at its edges and looked lopsided. It now spreads evenly on every side with clean rounded corners, and the audio player's shadow matches.
- The hadith language button still showed a Beta label beside Bangla after Bangla's release. It now only shows for a language that is still in beta.
- Sunan al-Darimi had no language button, so its Bangla translation could only be found by choosing Bangla in another collection first. The button is now there, and choosing English, which Darimi does not have, offers Bangla instead.
- The Spanish, Chinese, Hindi and Portuguese duas were checked line by line against the published Quran translations in each language, and every line that came too close to one was rewritten, so each translation is entirely our own.
- The sajdah mark now keeps its rosette shape whichever Arabic typeface you read in, and stays on the same line as the last word instead of wrapping on its own on a phone. The ۞ that marks each quarter of a hizb is now drawn as the same large star in every Arabic typeface.
- Both marks now look the same wherever they appear on the site, including in these notes, so ۩ and ۞ here are the exact marks you see beside the verses.
Bangla coverage is now complete across every collection in the library: the last 122 hadiths, the three Forty-Hadith collections, join Bulugh al-Maram, the Musnad of Imam Ahmad, al-Adab al-Mufrad and ash-Shama'il. Chinese has begun: all of Sahih al-Bukhari and all of Sahih Muslim can now be read in Chinese.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla now covers every collection in the library, with Bulugh al-Maram (its last 1,107 hadiths), the Musnad of Imam Ahmad, al-Adab al-Mufrad, ash-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyya and the three Forty Hadith collections (an-Nawawi's, the Hadith Qudsi and Shah Waliullah's) completed today. Chinese begins with the whole of Sahih al-Bukhari (7,277 hadiths) and Sahih Muslim (7,459).
[ READING ]
- The floating progress bar at the top of a reading plan and the audio player at the bottom now lift off the page with a soft drop shadow. The player is also a little narrower, with rounded top corners, instead of running edge to edge.
Eight more hadith collections are now complete in Bangla — Sunan al-Nasa'i, Sunan Abi Dawud, Mishkat al-Masabih, Sunan Ibn Majah, Jami at-Tirmidhi, Sunan ad-Darimi, the Muwatta and Riyad as-Salihin — and Bulugh al-Maram begins. Memorisation practice now counts toward your streak without playing the recitation.
[ HADITH ]
- Eight more collections are now complete in Bangla: Sunan al-Nasa'i, Sunan Abi Dawud, Mishkat al-Masabih (each report keeping the compiler's note of its sources), Sunan Ibn Majah, Jami at-Tirmidhi (with Imam al-Tirmidhi's remarks and gradings translated beside each report), Sunan ad-Darimi, the Muwatta of Imam Malik and Riyad as-Salihin. Bangla coverage of Bulugh al-Maram begins with its first 660 hadiths, purification and prayer through funerals.
[ FIXES ]
- Practising an ayah now counts toward your memorisation streak whether or not you play the recitation. Keeping the verse open for a few seconds to recite from the text is enough; before, a session without the audio was not recorded and the streak could drop to zero.
- The streak on the memorisation page updates as soon as you practise, instead of showing the old number until you reload the page.
Bangla coverage of Sunan al-Nasa'i extends from the first 2,000 hadiths to the first 3,000.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sunan al-Nasa'i extended from the first 2,000 hadiths to the first 3,000, continuing through the rest of the funeral prayer and burial, the Book of Fasting from the gates of Ramadan to the voluntary fasts, the Book of Zakat including the Zakat al-Fitr, and into the Book of Hajj through the rites of Ihram, the pilgrim's sacrifice and the circuits of the House, in the same modern, everyday register as the rest of the corpus.
Bangla coverage of Sunan al-Nasa'i extends from the first 1,000 hadiths to the first 2,000.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sunan al-Nasa'i extended from the first 1,000 hadiths to the first 2,000, continuing through the rest of prayer posture and recitation, witr and qunut, the Friday prayer and sermon, shortening prayer while travelling, the eclipse and rain prayers, the fear prayer, the two Eid prayers, and into Kitab al-Jana'iz on funerals, in the same modern, everyday register as the rest of the corpus.
Bangla now covers the whole of Sahih Muslim, and coverage begins on Sunan al-Nasa'i, the third of the six major hadith collections.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla now covers the whole of Sahih Muslim, all 7,459 hadiths, alongside the already complete Sahih al-Bukhari, and coverage begins on Sunan al-Nasa'i with its first 1,000 hadiths, from purification and prayer times to the opening chapters on leading the prayer.
Bangla coverage of Sahih Muslim extends from the first 3,500 hadiths to the first 6,500.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sahih Muslim extended from the first 3,500 hadiths to the first 6,500: divorce and li'an, freeing slaves, the whole of Kitab al-Buyu', inheritance, gifts and bequests, vows, oaths, blood-money and the fixed punishments, Kitab al-Jihad and the rulings on leadership, hunting, sacrifice, drinks, clothing and adornment, Kitab al-Adab, dreams, and the virtues of the Companions.
Bangla coverage of Sahih Muslim extends from the first 1,700 hadiths to the first 3,500, reaching well into Kitab al-Hajj.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sahih Muslim extended from the first 1,700 hadiths to the first 3,500: the rest of the travelling prayer and Friday, the 'Id, rain and eclipse prayers, funerals, zakat, fasting and i'tikaf, the Hajj rites through the Farewell Pilgrimage, and into Kitab al-Nikah on marriage, mahr and fosterage.
Bangla coverage begins on Sahih Muslim, the second of the six major hadith collections.
[ HADITH ]NEW
- Bangla coverage begins on Sahih Muslim, continuing straight on from the completed Sahih al-Bukhari in the same modern, everyday register. Its first 1,700 hadiths cover Kitab al-Iman, purification, prayer, mosques, and the travelling and night prayers through witr and Lailat al-Qadr.
Sahih al-Bukhari is now fully readable in Bangla, start to finish.
[ HADITH ]
- Sahih al-Bukhari is now complete in Bangla. Today's 3,202 hadiths, from the 4,076th to the last, 7,277, finish the collection in the same modern, everyday register as the pilot.
A surah now shows its Complete badge in your memorisation lists as soon as every ayah of it is on them, however you added them.
[ READING ]
- The Complete badge on a surah in Memorisation used to appear only if you had used “Memorise this surah”. It now appears the moment every ayah of the surah is on your lists — whether you added them with the button, one by one with the brain icon, or a mix. Some ayahs can be in Learning and some in Memorised; the surah still shows Complete on both tabs.
[ FIXES ]
- The practice calendar on /me/memorise always tried to draw a full year of history at a fixed size, so it needed its own scrollbar on anything narrower than a wide desktop window — including every phone. It now fits itself to however much width it actually has, showing fewer of the most recent weeks on a narrow screen and more on a wide one, so the calendar never scrolls.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sahih al-Bukhari extended from the first 2,325 hadiths to the first 4,075, continuing the pilot in the same modern, everyday register throughout.
Choose your own Arabic typeface for the Quran, Product pitches now shows a version chip when a pitch has been revised, and the recitation player's phone controls no longer overlap.
[ READING ]NEW
- The Quran can now render in four Arabic typefaces instead of just Amiri — pick one from Dashboard → How you read, from the top bar on desktop, or from the Menu drawer on phone. Amiri stays the default for anyone who never chooses.
[ API ]
- A pitch card on Product pitches now shows a small “vN” chip beside its status once it has been revised since first import — nothing shows at the first version, so the chip only appears when there is something to say.
[ FIXES ]
- On a phone, the recitation player's bottom row used to crowd the verse name, the clock, the speed control and the Follow switch into too little space — several of them were clipped or invisible. The verse reference now reads as “surah:verse” (e.g. “4:90”) with the clock beneath it, Follow collapses to a single eye icon that's tinted when it's on, and the speed control is visible at every width instead of only on wider screens. The bar's height is unchanged.
- The new Arabic typeface picker (above) opened badly clipped from the desktop top bar, and its preview text could be truncated for the wider typefaces — both fixed. It also briefly showed open by default when a pitch describing it was viewed on the Product pitches page. Its desktop trigger is now a single icon, matching the top bar's other controls, rather than a pill naming the current face.
- The memorisation streak could drop to zero after a real practice session: the loop player only recorded that a session happened when it was closed with the X button, Escape or the backdrop, so backgrounding the tab or closing it outright — the natural way to end a session you left playing — silently lost the credit. A practice or revisit is now recorded the moment playback actually starts, with closing the player and losing the page each kept as a backstop rather than the only path.
Both streaks now bucket your study by your own calendar day, not the server's, and the audit trail covers every personal write — with reading itself available as an opt-in.
[ FIXES ]
- Fixing yesterday's streak bug uncovered a deeper one: every study timestamp is recorded correctly, to the second, but was being grouped into a calendar day using the server's clock rather than yours — so an evening of study anywhere east of Greenwich could be filed under the wrong day and quietly drop out of both streaks. Every streak and the memorisation history chart now group your activity by the day it was on your own clock.
[ API ]NEW
- The audit trail (Administration → Audit trail) now records every personal write, not just administrative actions: saving or removing a bookmark, adding an ayah or a whole surah to memorisation, marking an ayah memorised, and creating, abandoning, activating or completing a day of a reading plan all show up here now, alongside the account settings changes that were already covered.
- An admin holding the new “Configure audit logging” permission can turn on logging every single read — every ayah or hadith opened, by anyone — with a second, dependent switch to include signed-out visitors too. Both are off by default: reading stays exactly as unwatched as it always has been unless an admin deliberately opts in. A signed-out visitor's row shows as “Visitor” with a country flag (resolved from an offline, bundled dataset — no third party ever sees the address) rather than a name or email, since there is no account to name. (The toggle's own switch control briefly rendered with its handle sitting outside the track rather than inside it — fixed before most people would have seen it.)
- The audit trail has real pagination now: a page-size picker (20/50/100/200/500, 50 by default) and Prev/Next controls, replacing the fixed “first 120 rows” it showed before.
- Every row in the audit trail now shows a Country column — a flag and the country's name — for signed-in and anonymous rows alike, resolved from the same offline dataset behind the Visitor flag.
- The site's owner account can no longer be blocked, banned, or have its super admin role revoked from Users & access — not by another admin, and not by the account itself. Every other account and every other rule on that page is unchanged.
[ READING ]
- Prayer times now has its own link in the desktop sidebar, beside Home, Quran and Hadith — it was already reachable from the phone and tablet bottom bar, but desktop had no way in short of typing the address.
Your day streak now counts every kind of study, not just memorisation and a finished plan day.
[ FIXES ]
- Your day streak — on the dashboard and on your reading plan page — only ever counted a memorisation review or a finished plan day. A day spent reading random verses, reading hadiths, or saving a verse or hadith to your list did nothing for it, and could even zero out a real streak if that was all you did that day. All four now count.
- Your memorisation streak, on /me/memorise, could disagree with your memorisation activity for a few hours around midnight — it compared against the server's own date instead of yours, the same class of bug fixed for the reading plan on 2026-09-16. It now uses your local date, like the rest of your dashboard.
Bangla hadith coverage reaches Bukhari 2,325. Editorial mode's type is bigger throughout, and hadith search works again.
[ HADITH ]
- Bangla coverage of Sahih al-Bukhari extended across today, in steady batches, from the first 300 hadiths to the first 2,325 — continuing the pilot in the same modern, everyday register throughout. Hadiths past the 2,325th still show in English until more are translated.
[ READING ]
- Editorial mode's Newsreader text — page titles, subtitles, translated prose and every serif heading — now sits one type size larger throughout, for a more comfortable read. Reader and Study are unaffected; each keeps exactly the sizes it had.
- Editorial mode's Quran verse translation and tafsir text now render in true black rather than the app's warm near-black, for maximum contrast on the page.
- Editorial mode's sidebar and menu labels, the sidebar's account name and menu items, and the hadith collection cards on /hadith all sit one type size larger, matching the rest of editorial's type bump. The sidebar's nav icon is now properly aligned with its label rather than sitting a touch too low.
- Editorial mode's whole dashboard area — Dashboard, Memorisation, Reading plan, Analytics, Users & access, Roles & permissions, Audit trail, Security and Product pitches — reads one type size larger throughout, matching the same bump already given to the reading surfaces.
- Editorial mode's hadith reading text, the docs sidebar and index cards, the API reference page and the top bar's page label all read one type size larger, or one weight lighter where they were already at the largest step available, matching the rest of editorial's type pass. The top bar's page label is also now properly centred against the sidebar toggle beside it.
- The "Whole surah" badge on your memorisation list is now called "Complete" everywhere it appears.
- Your dashboard's "View full progress" and "View full log" links are now a single icon each, matching the rest of the dashboard's compact card actions.
- A saved verse or hadith on your Saved list now carries a small coloured badge naming which it is, instead of plain grey text — the same badge style already used for "Complete" on your memorisation list.
- Your reading plan's name ("Half a juz a day") on the dashboard now matches the size of the text around it, in every reading layout — it had always rendered a size larger than its neighbours.
[ FIXES ]
- Fixed a bug where a reading plan could show "nothing scheduled for today" even though a portion was actually due. Loading your dashboard could trigger the missed-day catch-up twice at once, pushing the plan a day further ahead than it should have gone.
- Bumped the type weight for every non-Latin translated script — Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, Arabic tafsir and the rest — one notch heavier, so running prose in these scripts reads with the same visual weight as the rest of the app rather than looking a shade lighter next to it.
- Your dashboard's Continue reading cards, and your Saved list, now show a short excerpt beneath the verse or hadith reference, so you can recognise it at a glance. The excerpt is always in English, whichever translation you actually read in — a quick reference, not a preview of the reader itself.
- Hadith search is working again. Every search was failing outright and showing "Hadith search is unavailable right now" — a change meant only for the hadith reading page had left search fetching a hadith's translations without loading them properly first.
- The "Complete" badge on your memorisation list (called "Whole surah" at the time), in editorial mode, had space beneath it but none above it, sitting jammed up against the surah name it belongs to. It now sits with even space on both sides.
- Editorial mode's sidebar labels and the top bar's page label were clipping the tops and bottoms of some letters — the D in "Dashboard", the top of the S in "Security" — left over from an earlier alignment fix that packed the line too tight for the serif face these render in. They now have enough room to render each letter in full.
- Several editorial-only type changes from earlier today — the sidebar's label size, the hadith reading text's colour, the Quran verse and tafsir text's size and colour, the dashboard's card-title and stat sizes, and the whole API reference page — were reverted after being judged too large or too dark once seen live. The alignment and spacing fixes that came with some of them stayed.
A Bangla pilot for the first 200 hadiths of Sahih al-Bukhari, plus your dashboard and reading plan loading again after a missed day.
[ HADITH ]NEW
- The first 200 hadiths of Sahih al-Bukhari are now readable in Bangla — translated fresh from the Arabic in a modern, everyday register, not carried over from an older translation. Switch languages from the button beside the collection title; a beta chip marks it as a pilot, and hadiths past the 200th show in English until more are translated.
[ FIXES ]
- Falling exactly one day behind a daily reading plan broke your dashboard and the plan page outright — both showed “Could not load.” Yesterday's reschedule fix moved every remaining day forward to close the gap, and the way it did that could ask the database to put two days on the same date for a moment, which it correctly refused. The catch-up now moves the furthest day first, so nothing is ever asked to share a date, even for a one-day gap on a daily plan.
- After that fix, coming back from a missed day could still show “Nothing scheduled for today” even though a day was clearly waiting — the catch-up was comparing your missed day against the server's date rather than yours, and for much of the world those two disagree about what day it is for a few hours at a time. Your dashboard and reading plan now tell the server your own local date, so the day it hands back is always the one on your clock.
- The Bangla hadith translations shipped earlier today rendered in whatever font your device happened to fall back to instead of a proper Bengali typeface — fixed to use the same script-aware font the Quran reader already uses for non-Latin translations.
- The hadith language button looked like a different, rougher control than the Quran translation button next to it — restyled to match it exactly, wide enough that the language name and its beta badge always sit on one line.
- Every remaining place on the site set at the thinnest available type weight — the licence attribution line in the footer and the running prose of every translation — has been brought up to the same weight floor as the rest of the app, so nothing anywhere reads as faded.
The bottom bar on a phone or tablet is one bar now, everywhere in the app.
[ FIXES ]
- There is only one bottom bar on a phone or tablet now. Opening your dashboard used to swap the whole bar for a second, different one — different icons, different labels, its own Menu — so the app briefly looked like two apps stitched together. Now the same bar, with the same four destinations, follows you everywhere.
- Menu opens as a full screen now, not a narrow panel from the edge. With everything the sidebar carries now living in there too — Reading, Administration and Product for the accounts that have them, alongside Docs, Changelog and the rest — a cramped strip was forcing a long list into one thin column. A signed-in team member with a lot of pages to reach now gets two columns instead of one.
- Menu lights up when you're already looking at something inside it. Landing on a page that only exists in the drawer — Roles & permissions, say — used to leave every tab in the bar looking equally unselected, as if the app had lost track of where you were.
- Every link in the Menu drawer now carries an icon beside its label, matching the sidebar it mirrors. It shipped as text-only, which made a long, two-column list slower to scan than the sidebar it was meant to match.
- Reading layout and Appearance are gone from the Menu drawer for anyone signed in — that reader already has both switches on their own dashboard, and repeating them in the drawer was the same control in two places. They stay in the drawer for a signed-out visitor, who has nowhere else on a phone to reach them.
- Reading in Bengali, Assamese, Chinese, Arabic tafsir and every other script the Quran is translated into no longer looks under-inked. Those scripts render in their own typeface rather than the app's own serif, and the request that fetches it was silently ignoring the heavier weight it asked for — every reader of a script outside Latin was getting a lighter face than intended, on every page that shows a translation.
- The end of a reading plan's portion now says something. “That is this portion finished” read as a typo because it was one; it now says “This portion is finished,” the same word the progress bar above it already uses.
- A whole surah you've finished memorising no longer lingers on your Learning list. Once every ayah of a tracked surah has graduated to Memorised, the surah now shows only there — it was staying on Learning too, as an empty row with nothing left in it.
- The memorisation list's desktop table lines up in real columns again. A surah's name, its “Whole surah” badge, its ayah count and its progress were running together on one crowded line, worst for a surah with a longer name; each now sits in the same column its own header names.
- The Menu drawer no longer reserves a blank gap above your name. A fixed block of empty space, left over from an earlier, narrower version of the drawer, was pushing your avatar and Sign out down and sometimes off the bottom of the screen; the drawer now uses that space for its own menu items instead.
- Every category in the Menu drawer lays out in two columns once it has more than one item, Reading included. It was the one category still forced into a single column regardless of how many links it held, which made it read as a different kind of list from Administration or Reference sitting right next to it.
[ READING ]
- Memorise this surah now adds every ayah for real, the moment you tap it — the same list rows you would get from adding each one by hand, and the same progress. It used to hold the ayahs back and add them one at a time as you reached them, which showed the surah as a bare “next ayah” strip on your Learning list rather than the group of verses it actually was.
- The “Whole surah” badge is back on a surah you memorised in full. It briefly disappeared along with the old “next ayah” strip; it now marks the surah group itself, so you can still tell at a glance which surahs you committed to all at once.
- That badge no longer runs into the surah's name. It shared one line with the title, which could read as garbled next to a longer name like Al-Muzzammil; it now sits on its own — its own column on the desktop table, its own line everywhere else.
- Missing a few days in a reading plan no longer leaves the plan permanently behind a fixed calendar. Coming back after a gap now pushes every day still ahead of you later by exactly the days you missed, so the plan always reads as “N days from today” rather than a schedule you can never catch up to. The days you missed are not forgotten either — they're kept on their own, on the plan's Missed tab, as the honest record of what actually happened.
Roles & permissions now leads with the roles your team actually built.
[ FIXES ]
- Custom roles now sit above the five preset roles on Roles & permissions, not below them. The roles a super admin actually created and shapes day to day were getting pushed under a comparison table of roles nobody can edit.
- Product pitches actually render again. Their mockups and controls depend on the pitch's own script to draw themselves, and that script was being blocked outright — every pitch opened as a blank preview with buttons that did nothing. The frame still can't reach the network, read a cookie, or touch anything outside itself; it can just draw the pitch it was given.
- Sidebar labels no longer look underweight. Unselected items were inheriting the reading font's lighter weight, meant for paragraphs of prose, not a list of short words in a rail.
- Text across the app carries a touch more weight by default. Anything that did not explicitly ask for a weight — a heading, a menu item, a label — was quietly falling back to the browser's own thin default rather than the weight already used everywhere else for short text. The one place actual reading prose lives keeps its own, deliberately lighter weight.
Search results now land where they promised: on the verse or hadith you picked, scrolled to and briefly lit. Navigation moved into a sidebar that is there for everyone, on every page, signed in or not — including the home page — and the people who run Qiyamah gain a set of tools behind it.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- You can take on a whole surah at once. Every surah now has a Memorise this surah button at the top, beside the translation you are reading in, and it puts the surah on your memorisation list as one thing rather than as hundreds of separate verses.
- Your dashboard then keeps the surah together and tells you which verse is next. Al-Baqarah shows as one line — “through 2:12 · next 2:13” — with a single button that starts the next verse on loop, so picking up where you left off is one tap rather than a hunt through a list. Adding verses one at a time with the brain icon still works exactly as before, and the two stay in step.
- Stopping is safe. Pressing the button again stops following the surah and keeps every verse you had already started — nothing you have worked on is ever removed by changing your mind about the surah.
- Memorisation now has its own page, reachable from the Memorisation card on your dashboard and from Memorisation in your dashboard's own sidebar. Beyond the two lists you already had, it shows how much of the Qur'an you've committed to memory over time, a calendar of the days you practised, and how many verses you added versus finished on any given day — every figure measured from what you actually practised, never from opening the app.
[ READING ]NEW
- Your dashboard now has a sidebar. Everything personal — where you left off, what you saved, your plans and memorisation — is exactly where it was; the sidebar only appears if you have been given access to something else, and does nothing to what is already there.
- The up-link above each page is gone. Every page outside the home page carried a small link to the section above it; it duplicated the browser's own back button and the bottom bar, and it cost a row at the top of the reading surface to do it. Reading surfaces keep that row now.
- The bottom bar on a phone now starts with Home: Home, Search, Quran, Hadith, Menu. With the up-link gone there was no single control that took you back to the top of the app, and the browser's back button walks you out one page at a time instead. Prayer times move to the top of the Menu — still a tap away, and it is the first thing in there.
- Every dropdown in the app is now the same one. A few settings still opened the browser's own list — grey, in the wrong font, and on a phone replaced entirely by the operating system's picker. They now use the same sheet as choosing a translation or a prayer calculation method.
- The design history is now something the team can actually fill in. The page that collects Qiyamah's design pitches had a place to put them and no way to add one; it now has the form it was missing, and anything added is kept here and searchable rather than living behind a link that can expire.
- We now count how much of the Quran and the hadith collections is being read, so the app can be shaped around what people actually open. It is counted anonymously: no IP address, no device fingerprint, and nothing that links one visit to the next for readers without an account. Only references are recorded — a surah number, never its text.
- Reading stays open to everyone, as always. Nothing added here puts a verse or a hadith behind an account, and none of these tools can. The Quran and the hadith collections need no sign-in, today and in every version of this app.
- The progress bar in a reading plan now stays on screen. It used to sit under the title and scroll away with it, so on a long portion checking how much was left meant scrolling back to the top. A compact copy now docks to the top of the screen once the original scrolls out of view, and tucks away again once you scroll back up to it.
- Your reading plan now has its own page, reachable from the Reading plan card on your dashboard and from Reading plan in your dashboard's own sidebar. Beyond today's portion, it shows a calendar of which scheduled days you actually finished, your pace against the plan's own target with a projected finish date, and the full day-by-day log — every figure built from days you completed, never from what was merely scheduled.
- That sidebar is now every page's, not only the dashboard's. Home, Quran and Hadith sit at the top, always; signing in adds the Reading section above, under an account block at the bottom that carries your name and a sign-out link; staff gain an Administration section below that. Docs, Changelog and API moved in too, under Reference, since they are destinations like any other rather than footer links.
- A button beside the page title collapses the sidebar to its icons, for a reading session that wants the width back. Every page stays one click away — a collapsed item still opens on a click, and hovering it names it again. The choice is remembered on this device.
- The top bar is shorter and carries less: a title for the page you're on, search, the reading-mode switch and the theme switch. The Qiyamah wordmark, the old navigation links and the account avatar all moved to the sidebar.
- The footer is gone from the foot of every page. What it held — where the Quran and hadith text come from, and the Privacy and Terms links — now sits at the tail of the reading column itself, right-aligned, always on two lines regardless of how wide the page is.
- None of this touches a phone or a tablet. The bottom bar, its Menu drawer, and everything about how they open and close are exactly what they were — only the Menu drawer's contents grew, gaining the same Dashboard, Memorisation and Reading plan links the sidebar carries when you are signed in, plus an API link alongside Docs and Changelog.
[ FIXES ]
- The dashboard's bottom bar is now identical to the main one. It was taller, a different shade, and missing the frosted backdrop, so swapping between them looked like the bar jumping rather than changing what it points to. Same height, same colour, same icons.
- The dashboard fits the screen again. It was drawing its own margins on top of the ones the page frame already provides, so everything sat in a narrow column with a wide empty band down each side — worst on a phone, where the gutter was double every other page's. It now matches the rest of the app.
- The dashboard's own sections are reachable on a phone. Its navigation was being drawn underneath the main bottom bar — same position, same layer — so on a phone it was invisible and the sections it leads to could not be opened at all. The dashboard's bar now takes that position while you are in the dashboard, and hands it straight back when you leave. Quran, Hadith and Home sit in its Menu so nothing is ever more than a tap from reading.
- Choosing a hadith from search no longer hits a missing page. Hadith results were linked in a shape the hadith reader does not use, so a result that looked right led nowhere.
- A search result now scrolls to the verse or hadith you chose and flashes it, instead of opening at the top of the surah or collection and leaving you to find it. Saved verses and Continue reading already did this; search results were built to a different link shape and got none of it.
- Picking a second hadith from the same collection works. Once you had landed on one Bukhari hadith, choosing another from a new search changed the address but not the page — the reader only ever resolved the first one per visit.
- The subtitle on the new Memorisation page no longer runs straight into the cards below it. There was no gap at all between the two; there is now.
- Memorisation's charts fit a phone screen again. The practice calendar was wide enough to push the whole page past the edge of the screen, which on some phones widened the browser's own layout and swapped in the desktop navigation on top of it. Both charts now stay inside the card that holds them, scrolling sideways on their own if they need to rather than taking the page with them.
- The top bar holds together as a computer window narrows. The search box used to wrap onto three lines right around a typical laptop width, and narrower than that the theme switch and the sign-in button ran off the edge of the screen entirely, with no way to reach them. Docs and Changelog now step aside first to make room, and if a window is narrower still, the bar scrolls sideways rather than losing a control.
- Sign out lives in one place now: click your name at the foot of the sidebar. It used to also sit as a separate button at the top of your dashboard, which meant two different controls for the same action depending on which page you were on. That same click now opens a small menu with Dashboard and Sign out in it.
- The Qiyamah wordmark is back, at the top of the sidebar. It went missing when the top bar shrank down to make room for the sidebar itself. Collapse the sidebar to its icons and the wordmark becomes the same mark, in miniature — the letter ق on a rounded tile.
- The line at the foot of every page — Privacy, Terms and where the Quran and hadith text come from — is gone. Privacy and Terms are in the sidebar now, under Reference; the attribution sits above your name at the foot of the sidebar instead.
- Users & access can now actually change what someone can do. Every role an account holds shows as its own coloured tag — Reader included, for an account with none of the others — and a super admin can add or remove one with a couple of taps, instead of only being able to block or ban. A round photo or initial now leads every row, matching how an account appears everywhere else in the app.
- Roles & permissions can now create a role, not only edit the one the product shipped with. A super admin names it, picks the permissions it should hold, and can rename or delete it later; deleting one that people currently hold says so before it happens, since it takes their access away immediately. Every custom role also shows who holds it, right there, with a way to add or remove someone without leaving the page.
- The audit trail's rows breathe again. Whoever did something now shows the same way they do everywhere else — a photo or initial, their name, their full email — instead of a narrow column that cut a longer one off, and the space that used to be split evenly whether or not anything needed it now goes to whichever column actually has something to say.
Search now opens over whatever you are reading, from any page, and it finally searches the Quran as well as the hadith. Marking your place in a reading plan is now the verse number itself.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- You can search the Quran. The search box had offered “the Quran and hadith” for a while and only ever searched the hadith — now it searches the translation you read in, and a verse you find opens at that verse. Searching in Arabic works too, and highlights the word inside the Arabic itself.
- Type a reference and go straight there. “2:255” opens Ayat al-Kursi, “18” opens Al-Kahf, “kahf” and “the cave” both find it, and “bukhari 1” opens that hadith. These answer instantly, with no waiting, and they sit above the word matches because a reference is somewhere you are going rather than something you are looking for.
- The recitation player has real controls. Previous and next move a verse at a time, a bar along the top shows how far through the verse you are and lets you scrub back to catch a phrase again, and there is a speed control for when you are memorising and want it slower. Pressing pause now pauses: the player stays on screen so you can pick the verse back up, and closes only when you close it.
- A verse that fails to load says so instead of vanishing. The player used to disappear mid-surah with no explanation when audio did not arrive; it now stays put and offers to try again.
- Follow is a switch rather than a button. It sets whether the page dims and scrolls along with the recitation, so it now looks like the Editorial/Study and light/dark switches rather than something you press to make it happen. “Free” is the other half: the recitation carries on, the page just stays where you put it.
- The back-to-top button keeps its distance from the player. It sat directly on the player's top edge; it now clears it properly and slides into place rather than jumping when the player appears.
[ READING ]NEW
- Search is a panel over the page now, not a page of its own. Press Ctrl K — ⌘K on a Mac — or tap Search in the bottom bar, and it opens over what you are reading; close it and you are back at the exact verse, with nothing to scroll and no way to lose your place. Results from the Quran and the hadith come back in one list, each labelled.
- The search page and the big search box on the home page are both gone. They were the same box twice over, and the panel reaches every page rather than only those two. Old search links still work — they open the panel on what you searched for.
- A third reading mode, Reader, and it is now what the app opens in. It keeps the warm paper and green of Editorial but sets headings in serif over a body in Inter — titles keep the feel of a book while labels, counts and small print stay crisp. Editorial (serif throughout) and Study (panels, denser, sans throughout) are both unchanged and one tap away.
- If you have already picked a mode, nothing moves. A default is only what you get when you have never chosen, so anyone who set Editorial or Study keeps it, on this device and on their account.
- Your memorisation list is grouped by surah and ordered like the Quran. It used to be listed newest-first, so three ayahs of Al-Baqarah collected over three weeks sat scattered between An-Nas and Ya-Sin. Both Learning and Memorised now read in mushaf order, and verses you are learning as a passage sit together — a run of consecutive ayahs is marked so you can see one forming.
- The surahs start closed, so the panel opens as a short index of what you are working on rather than a long scroll. Each closed row still shows which ayahs are inside it; tap one to open it. This applies to every surah on the list, including one holding a single ayah — the panel behaves the same way on the day you add your first verse as on the day you have four hundred.
- The loop player has a Next button, so you can move along a passage without marking the verse you are on as memorised. It appears only when the very next ayah is one you have added yourself — if it is not, there is nowhere to go and no button.
- The numbered circle beside each verse in a plan day is now the way to save your place. Tap an unread number and it turns into a green tick, recording that you have read up to there — the same tick scrolling past the verse would have given it. Verses you have not reached yet show a slow ring around the number, so it is clear they can be tapped.
- The “Stop here” button is gone from every verse. It was a fifth control in a row of four icons, it was the only one wide enough to push that row onto a second line on a phone, and it set the very thing the circle beside it was already displaying.
[ FIXES ]
- Translation credits no longer repeat themselves. Editions that name their translator the same as the work — Saheeh International is one — were credited as “Saheeh International — Saheeh International” on every verse.
- Headings across the site are no longer artificially thickened. Reader mode asked for a heading weight the serif was never loaded at, so browsers faked it by fattening a lighter one — which on a serif smears the stems and fills in the letterforms. The real weight is now loaded, and headings look the way they were designed to.
- Continue reading takes you to the hadith, not just the collection. The card named the exact hadith you left off at — “Bukhari · 1” — and then opened Bukhari at its first book, which is the one thing the number was there to prevent. It now opens the right book and page, scrolls the hadith into view and flashes it briefly, the way the Quran half of the card already did.
Two things that made the app harder to trust on a phone. A saved verse now takes you to the verse itself, and the Menu drawer stays shut once you have left it.
[ FIXES ]
- Opening a saved verse lands on the verse. Tapping one from your dashboard, a reading plan or a journey opened the right surah and then left you at the top of it — in al-Baqarah that is two hundred and eighty-six verses away from the one you asked for. The verse now scrolls into view and lights up briefly, the way a saved hadith already did.
- The Menu drawer no longer reappears on its own. Opening it, tapping through to something and then coming back brought the drawer with you, sitting over the page you had just asked for. It closes when you leave and stays closed until you open it again.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- A reading plan now opens in its own reader. Tapping today's portion used to drop you into the ordinary surah reader near the right verse, with the rest of the surah around it and nothing to say where the day ended. The plan reader shows that day's verses and only those — it crosses into the next surah when the portion does, and it stops where the portion stops.
- It remembers where you stopped inside the day. A juz is 208 verses and few people read that in one sitting, so putting it down and coming back later picks up where you were rather than at the top. Reading to the last verse marks the day finished on its own.
- The plan reader does everything the Quran reader does. Recitation with follow, tafsir, bookmarks, memorisation and the translation picker are all there, and translations render in the right font for their script rather than whatever the device happened to have. Listening to a portion counts as reading it: hear it through to the end and the day is marked done. The recitation stops at the portion's last verse rather than carrying on into tomorrow's.
- You can mark exactly where you stopped. Progress was tracked by what had scrolled past, which overshoots — four verses on screen counts all four even if you read two — so resuming could skip text you never read. Every verse now has a “stop here” control, and what you mark wins over what was guessed.
- Verses you have finished are marked. Each one behind your place carries a tick and sits back slightly, and the verse you stopped on keeps a line down its edge, so where you left off is visible as you scroll rather than only a percentage at the top.
- Follow now works in the plan reader. It was on, and did nothing — the page sat still while the recitation moved down it.
- A missed day is no longer skipped. Plans used to show only the portion scheduled for today, so a day you missed simply vanished while the plan still claimed to cover the whole Quran. You now always get the oldest portion you have not finished, and it says which day it is rather than calling it today.
[ READING ]
- Every page now has the compact heading the home page got. The landing surface was tightened for phones and tablets and nothing else was, so headings on Quran, Hadith, Prayer, your dashboard and the rest kept their full-size titles and pushed the actual content down the screen. The density is the same everywhere now, and still responds to Editorial and Study.
- The navigation bar stays put as you scroll on a computer. Reading down a long surah used to carry it off the screen, so getting to your dashboard meant scrolling all the way back up first.
- A back-to-top button appears once you are a screen or so down any page, in the bottom-right corner. It steps above the navigation bar on a phone, and above the player while a recitation is going.
Text across the whole site is drawn more solidly. Yesterday's change fixed the translations; reading the rest of the page beside them made it obvious the same problem ran everywhere — headings, labels, dates, verse counts and the small print under everything.
[ FIXES ]
- The prayer times table is drawn evenly. The five prayers that were not next were set lighter than the one that was, so most of the table read faint against the page. The next prayer is still marked — by colour, its tinted row and the word beside it — rather than by being the only solid line among six.
- Choosing a prayer calculation method now opens the same panel the translation and tafsir pickers use. It was the browser's own dropdown before — unstyled on a computer, and replaced entirely by the phone's built-in picker on iOS and Android. Each method also says where it is followed, since the institution's name alone rarely tells you whether it is yours.
- Tafsir and hadith text keep their paragraphs. The commentary in the Quran reader ran as a single unbroken block — Ibn Kathir on Ayat al-Kursi is seventy-five paragraphs and every break was being swallowed. Long hadith had the same problem. Both now read the way they were written.
[ READING ]
- Headings, labels, dates and the small print are drawn more solidly. They were all being set at the same weight as a paragraph, which is too light for something that size — large text and small text both need more weight than body text, for opposite reasons.
- The Quran, its translation, the commentary and the hadith text stay at reading weight. Everything around them is heavier now, and the text itself deliberately is not: a passage read from start to finish wants less weight than a label you glance at.
- The reading typeface no longer loads a light cut at all. Nothing uses it, and leaving it out means it cannot quietly come back.
- Study mode stays on white. It spent part of today on a grey background, which was tried to stop the text looking thin and did the opposite — a darker page lowers the contrast of everything printed on it. Grey is now used only where something should sit below the page, like a search field. Night mode is unchanged.
- The translation under each ayah is slightly smaller, in both reading layouts. It sat close enough to the Arabic to compete with it; the commentary below is unchanged, so the verse, its translation and its tafsir now read as three distinct voices.
- The Editorial and Study labels are drawn alike. The one you were not using was set lighter than the one you were, which made a single control look like two different things.
- The cards on the home page carry a small mark each — one for memorising, one for the verse recited at night, one for the Day the site is named after, one for the Friday reading.
- The footer is quieter than the rest of the small print. The attribution to the Quran Foundation and sunnah.com has to be on the page and does not have to compete with what it credits.
- The documentation sidebar reads evenly. The page you were not on was set lighter than the page you were, which made one list look like two.
- Documentation card summaries match the labels around them.
- The cards on the home page keep the same two-column shape every day. They used to spread to three across when the Friday card was not showing, so the section changed size overnight and the cards were one width on Friday and another on Saturday.
The home page asks something of you now. Where it used to end in a list of the seventeen hadith collections, it offers a few places worth starting — including two verses you can set about memorising without an account, and a reminder to read Surah al-Kahf on a Friday.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- Two memorisation journeys, open to everyone. The first ten ayahs of Surah al-Kahf, and Ayat al-Kursi — each one verse at a time, on repeat, with the translation beside it. No account, nothing saved, and nothing added to your memorisation list. Ayat al-Kursi is broken into six parts, each ending where a reciter pauses, so you are not waiting out the whole verse to practise its opening.
- On Fridays the home page says so, with Surah al-Kahf a tap away. If you have given the app your location for prayer times, the day turns over at Maghrib as it should, rather than at midnight.
- Translations now render in a typeface chosen for their script rather than whatever your device happened to have installed. Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Thai, Hebrew, Amharic and a dozen more all had this problem, and on a computer with no font for the script the text could fail to appear at all. Nothing extra is downloaded unless you read in one of those languages.
- An Arabic tafsir is no longer set in the Quranic face. Commentary on the text and the text itself should not look like the same kind of writing.
[ READING ]
- The home page opens with what is on offer rather than a directory. The seventeen collections still have their own page, at Hadith, which is where a list of them belongs.
- On a phone, the landing page fits. The heading, the summary and the three shortcuts were using the whole screen before anything else appeared; they are tighter now, and there is something to read without scrolling.
- The bar across the top of every page is gone on phones and tablets. It held only the wordmark and your account picture, and both now live in the Menu drawer at the bottom right — which is a thumb's reach away rather than the far corner of the screen.
- Every page has a way back. Until now the only route up was the browser's own back button, or — on a phone — the Menu and then Home. Each page now offers the step above it: a surah goes back to all surahs, a hadith collection to all collections, a memorisation journey to the home page. It goes to the same place whether you tapped your way here or opened a link somebody sent you.
- Translations and hadith text are set a little heavier. The English was thin enough to be tiring to read for long, particularly at night, and on some screens it looked faded rather than light. The text is the same size — the letters themselves are simply drawn more solidly.
[ FIXES ]
- The memorisation journeys were showing the default English translation no matter which one you had chosen. They now read in your language, like everywhere else in the app.
- The looping player on your dashboard had the same problem, and is fixed with it.
- Each memorisation journey now carries the tafsir for the verse you are on, in your preferred edition, in a card below the player. It stays shut until you open it.
You can read the Quran in your own language. Translations in 66 languages were always there in the data — the reader just never offered them, and quietly ignored the setting if you had one.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- Choose your translation from the reader. A control under the surah name opens a list of 66 languages — searchable, each shown in its own script — and picks the translation within it. Languages with a single translation select in one tap rather than two.
- Choose your tafsir the same way, from the commentary panel itself: twenty editions across Arabic, Bengali, Urdu, English, Russian and Kurdish.
- Your choice is remembered. Signed out it stays on this device; signed in it follows your account to every device you read on.
- Arriving with your browser set to a language we have a translation for, you are asked once whether you would like it. Declining is remembered, and nothing ever switches on its own.
[ READING ]
- Your dashboard has a “How you read” section: reading layout, theme, translation and tafsir together in one place, for setting up a new device rather than adjusting mid-passage. Everything there is still changeable while reading.
- Reading plans are finishable. You can stop a plan you no longer want, change its pace without losing your place — you carry on from where you left off, not from the beginning — switch between plans, and see the ones you finished or stopped before. Nothing you have already read is ever thrown away.
[ FIXES ]
- The saved translation setting now actually applies. It had been stored on the account and sent back correctly all along, but the reader never passed it when fetching a surah — so everyone read the default no matter what they had chosen.
Memorisation is a journey now, not a quiz. Add a verse, hear it on loop until it is yours, mark it memorised, and watch a bar fill against the whole Quran. Tafsir is also readable again.
[ READING ]NEW
- Memorising a verse is simpler. The old flow hid the verse and asked you to grade your own recall from four buttons. Now the ayah you add sits in a Learning list, opens into a player that repeats just that verse so you can listen over and over, and moves to a Memorised list the moment you say the words are yours — where you can always go back and hear it again.
- Your dashboard shows how much of the Quran you hold. One bar, three parts: memorised, in progress, and everything still ahead — measured against all 6,236 verses, so it is honest about the size of the task and rewards every verse you finish.
- A Learning verse shows how long it has been in progress, so you can see your own pace — and tell when an ayah is taking long enough that it is worth asking someone for help with it.
[ QURAN ]
- Tafsir now keeps its paragraphs. Headings and sections were being run together into a single block — “Introduction to FatihahWhich was revealed in Makkah” — so a commentary that runs to tens of thousands of words had no structure at all to read by.
Qiyamah is properly usable on a phone and tablet. The controls beside each verse were only ever visible to a mouse, and there was no way to move around the site on a small screen at all.
[ QURAN ]
- Follow now scrolls the page as well as highlighting: the verse being recited glides into view and settles there, and the one after it stays visible so you can see what is coming. Scroll yourself to look ahead and it waits until the next verse before taking over again.

- Text throughout the site is larger. Everything grew by the same amount, so headings, translations and captions keep their relative weight — and the Arabic is deliberately unchanged, since it was already sized for reading.
- Scrollbars are thin, follow the palette you are reading in, and fade away when you stop scrolling.
- New app icon across browser tabs, bookmarks and home screens — the qaf now has room to breathe instead of running to the edge behind a dark frame, so it stays legible at small sizes.
- Installing Qiyamah as an app now names it “Qiyamah” on every platform, rather than the name varying by which page you installed from.
- A navigation bar now runs along the bottom of the screen on phones and tablets, with the Quran, search, hadith and prayer times a thumb away.
- The Editorial and Study layouts can be switched on a phone, which previously offered only light and dark.
- Buttons, switches and links throughout are large enough to press accurately on a touchscreen.
- The recitation bar takes the place of the navigation while it plays, rather than stacking on top of it.
[ FIXES ]
- The play, tafsir, bookmark and memorise controls beside each verse never appeared on phones or tablets. They now sit beneath the translation, always visible and sized for a finger.
- A saved verse showed an empty bookmark until the page was reloaded.
- Arabic surah and collection titles overlapped the line beneath them.
- Tablets were served the desktop layout — in landscape, and on larger iPads even upright — leaving the small hover-only controls on a screen with no mouse. Every tablet now gets the touch layout at any size.
- Opening a book of hadith on a phone appeared to do nothing — the hadiths now replace the list of books, with a way back to it.
- A band of empty space sat above the footer on longer pages. The footer now follows the end of the page.
- A further strip of empty space sat below the footer on every desktop page — room being held for the bottom bar, which only phones and tablets have. The footer now sits flush to the bottom.
- While a recitation is playing, the footer steps aside rather than sitting half-covered by the player.
- The list of search results stayed behind when you scrolled down a long hadith, so choosing another result meant scrolling all the way back up. It now stays beside what you are reading.
- The same was true of the list of books inside a collection.
- Lists and tafsir that continue past the edge of their panel now fade at that edge, rather than stopping mid-sentence as though something had failed to load.
- That fade now appears at the top of a panel as well as the bottom, so a tafsir scrolled half way through no longer runs hard into its own heading.
Qiyamah launches. The Quran with translation, tafsir and recitation; the full hadith corpus, searchable; and prayer times computed for wherever you are. Sign in and it remembers your place, your bookmarks and what you are memorising.
[ QURAN ]NEW
- Read any surah in full, with the translation beside the Arabic and recitation that carries on through the passage.
- Ibn Kathir's tafsir opens on any verse without leaving the page.
- 126 translation editions to choose between.
[ HADITH ]NEW
- 50,884 hadith across seventeen collections, with 29,312 scholarly gradings attributed to the scholar who gave them.
- Search runs over the whole corpus and ranks by relevance; results stay on screen while you read one.
- Sunan ad-Darimi is labelled Arabic-only throughout, and Arabic gradings are marked as such, so neither reads as something missing.
[ PRAYER ]NEW
- Prayer times and qibla for your location, computed on the spot rather than fetched — they work offline.
- Ten calculation methods and both Asr schools, because the difference between them is an hour, not a rounding.
[ READING ]NEW
- Three modes — Home, Editorial and Study — and light or dark, switchable independently.
- Follow dims everything except the verse being recited, in any mode and either theme.
- Your dashboard collects what the app remembered: where you left off in the Quran and in hadith, everything you saved, what is due to review, and how your reading plan is going.
- Save any verse or hadith with the bookmark beside it, and the app remembers where you stopped reading without being asked.
- Memorise verses on a schedule that brings each one back just before you would forget it.
- Reading plans split the Quran into daily portions — a juz a day reads it through in a month.
[ API ]NEW
- A free, keyless public API at api.qiyamah.com for hadith, prayer times and Quran metadata.
