You hear a recitation and want to know which one? Play it on Tilawa: in about twenty seconds, the app finds the surah and verse.
But Tilawa doesn't stop there. It's a complete companion for reading, listening to, understanding, and memorizing the Quran.
READ THE MUSHAF
The 114 surahs and 6,236 verses of the vocalized Uthmani Mushaf, in elegant Arabic typography. The harakat are color-coded to distinguish short vowels, long vowels, and the sukun at a glance—a real help when learning to read.
Translation available in 13 languages and Latin transliteration under each verse. Bookmarks, favorites, and automatic resumption where you left off.
LISTEN TO OVER 280 RECITATORS
Verse by verse or entire surah, with search by name, by transmission (Hafs, Warsh, Qalun, Doori…) and by style (Murattal, Mujawwad). Download your recitations to listen offline, on a plane or on the subway.
Playback continues in the background, even with the screen off.
RECOGNIZE A RECITATION
Is a recitation playing on the radio, in a video, or at the mosque? Let Tilawa listen for a few seconds: it identifies the passage and opens the verse directly, with its translation.
A PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN PACE
Choose a duration—from one month to one year—and Tilawa creates a reading plan that adjusts to your actual progress. No guilt: the plan recalculates itself when you fall behind.
MEMORIZE
Spaced repetition of the verses you choose, with progressive masking of the text. The pace adapts to what you actually remember.
THE MUSLIM'S CITADEL
Daily supplications, with Arabic, phonetics, and translation. Waking up, meals, travel, sadness, protection—categorized by situation, with your favorites at your fingertips.
LEARN ARABIC
The alphabet letter by letter, forms according to their position in the word, pronunciation, and a word from the Quran each day with its meaning and occurrences.
TRANSLATE A KHUTBA
Have you recorded a sermon, lecture, or conference in Arabic?
Send the audio or video: Tilawa will transcribe and translate it.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
No advertising, no tracking, no data resale. No account to create: the app works as soon as you open it.
Reading, listening, and recognition are free and unlimited. Only khutbah translation requires credits. You can link an email address—this is optional—to retrieve your credits when switching devices, and delete your account at any time from within the app.
