Every screen is built to carry you deeper — from the first ayah on your Lock Screen to the last reflection in a guided session.
Ibn Kathīr, al-Ghazālī, al-Nawawī and more — the masterworks of the tradition, translated from the original Arabic and narrated cover to cover. A thousand years of scholarship, now in your ears.
The Iḥyāʾ, Stories of the Prophets, al-Bidāya wa’l-Nihāya, the Riḥla of Ibn Baṭṭūṭa — every book open to every listener, free to start. No tiers of access to sacred knowledge.
Guided Masterclasses walk you through each book, course by course — vocabulary, reflections and guided sessions. Move at your own rhythm, the way the masters once taught.
Every session you complete keeps your Lantern glowing — hours of sacred knowledge, books finished cover to cover, and a journey that grows with you. On your phone, your widgets, and your wrist.
The library never stops growing. Each week a new scholar-curated release joins the one shared library for the whole Ummah at once — a fresh gift to look forward to.
Every book is open to everyone, with five hours of listening free each month. Joyful+ removes the cap and unlocks Masterclasses, the Living Manuscript, the Apple Watch app, widgets, prayer reminders and offline downloads — $6.99/mo or $59.99/yr.
Hold the action button to pause. Spin the Digital Crown to skip chapters. Set a sleep timer and drift off. The full canon, on your wrist — walk, train, pray, and leave the phone behind.
Every line below is read aloud, in full, inside the app — sourced, attributed, and a single tap from the whole book.

I set out alone, finding no companion to cheer the way, swayed by an overmastering impulse within me, and a long-cherished desire to visit those illustrious sanctuaries.

Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge, Allah makes easy for him the path to Paradise.
