Tadabur
From install to understanding,
in a few taps
No sign-up, no setup. Open Tadabur and start reading — the Quran, its meaning and your prayers, together.
Install and open — no sign-up
Download Tadabur from Google Play and start reading straight away. Every feature works without an account. The Quran, translations and tafsir are inside the app, so reading works offline.
Choose a surah or para
Pick from all 114 surahs or the 30 paras (with their Indo-Pak starting points), search by name, or jump straight to a verse like 2:255. Tap the star to keep a surah in Saved.
Read page by page
Open the page view to read like a printed 16-line Quran. Swipe to turn the page. Choose a page colour — white, cream, green or night.
Tap an ayah to understand it
Tap any ayah to see its translation and the tafsir notes, listen to the recitation, bookmark it, write a reflection or share it as an image.
Set your city — prayer times ring
Allow location once. Tadabur calculates the five prayer times on your phone and rings a full-screen alarm at each one, even when the phone is locked. Mark “Prayed” to fill your Namaz tracker.
Optional: keep your data safe
Create a free account with your email (a 6-digit code, no password) to back up bookmarks, reflections and your Namaz tracker, and restore them on a new phone. Delete it any time.
Questions, answered
Is Tadabur really free?
Yes. There are no ads, no subscriptions and nothing to buy. Tadabur is a waqf.
Do I need the internet?
No. The Quran text, translations, tafsir notes and prayer times all work offline. Internet is only used to stream recitation audio and, if you have an account, to sync your data.
Which Quran text and translations are used?
The Quran text comes verbatim from Tanzil, shown in the Indo-Pak script (or Uthmani). Translations: Urdu by Muhammad Junagarhi with Tafsir Ahsan-ul-Bayan notes (via QuranEnc), and English by Saheeh International.
Is the tafsir a fatwa?
No. Tafsir is shown to help you understand what you read, always with its source. For rulings, please ask a qualified scholar.
Why doesn't the prayer alarm ring on my phone?
Open Tadabur and follow the “Never miss a prayer” checklist: allow Notifications, Alarms & reminders and unrestricted Battery. On Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and some other phones, also allow Auto-start and “Show on lock screen” for Tadabur.
Will the alarm ring when my phone is on silent?
Yes — prayer alarms play at your phone's alarm volume, like an alarm clock. Turn off the alarm for a prayer (the bell icon) or lower the alarm volume if you are in the mosque.
How are prayer times calculated?
On your phone, from your location, with the method you choose: Karachi, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura or ISNA, and Hanafi or Shafi Asr. Your location is never sent to our servers.
Do I need an account?
No. An account is only for backing up and syncing your bookmarks, reflections and Namaz tracker. You sign in with a code sent to your email.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profile › Account › Delete account. Or see Delete your account.
