Nothing held back
The same app, built for Android
This isn't a stripped-down port. The Android build matches the iPhone app feature-for-feature — we'd rather take the extra weeks than ship something lesser.
- The full classical library — same audiobooks, same narration
- Background playback with media-notification controls
- Daily Verse notifications and the NextDrop home-screen widget
- StudyKit, the Living Manuscript transcript, JM Scholar, and the Vault
- Offline downloads and cross-device sync
Inside the app
Not an audiobook player. A house of knowledge.
The same house of knowledge, rebuilt for Android — every screen below is shipping in the build now in final testing.
The Living Manuscript
Every word, illuminated as you listen.
A real-time transcript illuminates each sentence the moment the narrator speaks it — the way the masters once studied, now on glass. Tap any line to hear it again.
Structured completion
Finish the Iḥyāʾ — one sentence at a time.
al-Ghazali’s forty-volume masterwork, broken into bite-sized passages with the narration right beside you. A thousand-year classic, finally finishable.
StudyKit
One chapter. Two ways in.
Move at your own rhythm — Read, Understand, Apply — or let a scholar walk you through in fifteen guided minutes, with reflection prompts at every turn.
Your Journey
See how far you’ve come.
Streaks, hours of sacred knowledge, books completed cover to cover, and a scholar rank that grows with you — quiet encouragement, never gamified into noise.
The Vault
A sanctuary that never stops growing.
Premium listeners receive every new release on day one — four scholar-curated audiobooks a month, dropped each Friday into a library that only deepens.
A taste of the canon
Wisdom that has outlived empires.
Every line below is read aloud, in full, inside the app — sourced, attributed, and a single tap from the whole book.

The Android build is in final testing now. We have not set a public date yet — join the waitlist and we will send exactly one email, the day it goes live on the Google Play Store.
Will it have everything the iPhone app has?
Yes — it is a full feature-parity port: the same library, offline downloads, StudyKit, the Living Manuscript, JM Scholar, the Vault, Daily Verse notifications, and the NextDrop home-screen widget. The only iPhone-exclusive surface is the Apple Watch app.
Is the Android app free?
Same as iPhone: five hours of listening every month, free, with no credit card. Paid tiers start at $0.99/month for the unlimited standard library, and Premium is $6.99/month for the Vault, StudyKit, the Living Manuscript, and unlimited JM Scholar.
Can I move up the waitlist?
Yes. After you join you get a personal referral link — every friend who joins through it moves you up the line, and the page shows your live position and referral count.
Can I get it right now?
Not on Android yet — it is not on the Google Play Store. If you have an iPhone, the app is live on the App Store today at joyfulmuslims.com/ios.
