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.
Ask anything — about the chapter, the author, or your own reflection. Every answer is rooted in the Qurʾān and the authentic sources, and shows you exactly where it came from.
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, unlimited JM Scholar, Apple Watch 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.

Yūnus called from three darknesses: the darkness of the sea, the darkness of the fish, and the darkness of the night. And Allah answered.
The door of repentance does not close until the sun rises from the west. Until then, it is open for every soul.
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.
Allah took Ibrāhīm as a friend. Not because Ibrāhīm asked — but because of what Ibrāhīm was willing to put down.

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