What Qiyamah is
A reading application for the Quran and the hadith corpus, built to get out of the way.
Overview
Qiyamah is a place to read. The Quran with translation, tafsir and recitation; 50,884 hadith across seventeen collections, searchable together; prayer times computed for wherever you are.
It works entirely without an account. Signing in adds memory — where you stopped reading, what you bookmarked, what you are memorising — and nothing else. Scripture is never behind a sign-in.
What it holds
The hadith corpus is stored locally, which is why hadith search is instant and why no outage elsewhere can break browsing. Quran search asks the Quran Foundation each time, because their text is licensed to be read rather than stored.
- The Quran — 114 surahs, 6,236 ayahs, with 126 translation editions and Ibn Kathir's tafsir
- Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim in full
- The four Sunan, Muwatta Malik, Musnad Ahmad and Sunan ad-Darimi
- Riyad as-Salihin, Bulugh al-Maram, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Shamail Muhammadiyah, Mishkat al-Masabih
- The three Forties — Nawawi, Qudsi and Shah Waliullah
- 29,312 scholarly gradings, attributed to the scholar who gave them
Where the corpus is incomplete
Two gaps are real and are shown rather than hidden, because a blank panel reads as a bug in the software rather than a property of the source.
- Sunan ad-Darimi has no English translation in the corpus — 3,406 hadith with Arabic text only. A reader who chooses English is told so above the text and offered the languages we have translated it into (Bangla, in full), rather than shown blank panels. Its book titles had no English either; ours are translated from the Arabic.
- Mishkat al-Masabih carries 4,273 gradings of which only 191 are in English. Where a grading is shown in Arabic, its language is marked so it does not read as a mistranslation.
