Live · word by word

Recite from memory. It hears every word.

The page stays hidden. You say the ayah out loud, and Sabinoor follows your voice — each word lighting up the moment it is heard. Not a recording you wait on. Live, as you recite.

Most apps hand you the text and then test you. Sabinoor is the part in between.

It is built for people who have never memorised before — not only for those who already know how.

How it works

Three steps, and the text disappears.

Every ayah moves through the same loop. Nobody hands you a wall of Arabic and wishes you luck — you meet the ayah, you say it with the words in front of you, and only then do you let them go.

Listen

A qari reads the ayah, as slowly as you need, with its meaning beside it. You follow the words with your eyes before you ever open your mouth.

Practise

Say it out loud with the text still in front of you. Long ayahs are built up phrase by phrase, so you are never staring at a wall.

From memory

The text goes. You recite, and each word lights up as it is heard. Pause and it waits. Wander off and it quietly points you back.

And then it comes back.

Revision is scheduled for you. Ayahs you have held return before they slip — that is the part most people skip, and the reason most hifz stops.

Your Quran

Watch your mushaf turn to gold.

Every ayah you have genuinely said from memory turns gold on your surah map, with the ones due for revision marked in amber. Nothing turns gold because you tapped “I know it” — only because it was heard.

  • Ayah-by-ayah map
  • Amber = due for revision
  • A plan with a projected date
The My Quran screen: a 30-ayah grid for Surah Al-Mulk with eight ayahs memorised in gold, three due for revision, and the rest not yet started.

Keep going

Recite as long as you like.

One ayah, or a whole page without stopping. Sabinoor follows you straight through — it does not break your recitation to ask whether you are ready for the next ayah, because that is not how anyone actually recites.

  • Continuous multi-ayah
  • Peek if you are stuck
  • Finish when you choose
Continuous recitation: three ayahs of Surah Al-Mulk on one page, the first already confirmed, with Peek, pause and Finish controls.

Today

One thing a day, chosen for you.

Tell Sabinoor how many minutes you have and it builds the day: a couple of new ayahs and a short revision round. It is a pace, not a deadline — miss a day and the plan bends with you.

  • Revision scheduled by a memory model
  • Built around your minutes
  • One session to start
The Today screen: two new ayahs and three to revise, about nine minutes, with a Start today's session button and the week's activity.

No self-marking

It only counts when it is heard.

There is no “I know this one” button, because the honest version of hifz has never worked that way. An ayah is held when you have said every word of it out loud, from memory, and Sabinoor heard you say it.

  • Word-level confirmation
  • Try again, as often as you like
  • No streak for tapping

Straight with you

What Sabinoor does not do.

A tool beside a teacher, never a replacement for one. It is worth saying out loud where the line is.

Not this

It does not judge your tajweed.

Sabinoor listens for which words you said, not how you said them. It will not grade your makhraj or tell you your recitation is beautiful. For tajweed, keep your teacher.

Not this

It does not promise you a date.

Your plan shows a projected finish that moves as you do. No “become a hafiz in a year”. It is a pace you can keep, and it bends when life does.

Not this

It does not work without a mic.

Following your recitation needs a microphone and an internet connection. Audio is sent to be checked and deleted the moment the check finishes — we never keep recordings of your voice.

Pricing

One subscription. Everything is in it.

No tiers to compare, nothing held back for a higher plan. Seven days free, then choose how you pay.

Month to month. Stop whenever you like — the app never holds your progress hostage.

Best value

Hifz is a long game, and the year plan is priced for it. The cheapest way to keep going.

  • The listen → practise → from-memory loop

Questions

The things people ask first.

Are my recordings kept?

No. Your audio is sent to be checked against the ayah you are reciting, and it is deleted the moment the check finishes. We never store recordings of your voice, so there is nothing sitting on a server to worry about later.

What is saved is the written result — which words we heard — so you can see your own progress. That is deleted with everything else if you delete your account.

Does it work offline?

Recitation following does not. It needs a microphone and an internet connection to follow your voice, and we would rather say so than let you find out on a plane.

Does it correct my tajweed?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Sabinoor follows which words you are saying, not how you are pronouncing them — it will not grade your makhraj or your madd. It is for holding the words. For tajweed, keep your teacher.

Which reciters can I listen to?

Complete ayah-by-ayah recitations from Shaykh Mishary Rashid al-Afasy, Shaykh Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Shaykh Mahmoud Khalil al-Husary, Shaykh Mohamed Siddiq al-Minshawy, Shaykh Maher al-Muaiqly, Shaykh Abdul Rahman al-Sudais and Shaykh Saud al-Shuraim. Each is credited in Sources & Credits.

Is it for complete beginners?

That is who it was built for. The loop teaches you the ayah before it asks you for it, and long ayahs are broken into phrases so there is always a next step that is small enough to take.

You do not need to read Arabic fluently to begin. You do need to say it out loud — everything here happens with your voice.

What happens after the 7 days?

The trial becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. The price for your country is shown in the app before you are charged, and you can cancel at any time from your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

Which surahs are in it?

The full Quran is there to read and to listen to. Guided hifz plans are built surah by surah and we keep adding to them — if the one you want next is missing, tell us at support@sabinoor.com and it goes on the list.
