Your light,
kept honestly.
Al-Ghazālī described the heart as a lamp — the Mishkāt. The Lantern makes it visible: a living lamp in the app that burns with what you actually do, and dims when you rest. No leaderboards. No shame. A quiet record between you and Allah.

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ
“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The likeness of His light is a niche in which is a lamp…”
Three lights, one lamp.
Your heart is the traveller — watch it cross from one station to the next.
Your light burns bright
Tap a state — the lamp's four honest states, as in the app.
The flame — your listening
Steady when you’ve been with the books, softening when you haven’t. It flares the day you return.
The oil — your acting
Knowledge is for living. Each day you act on what you learned, the oil rises — the lamp has fuel because ʿamal feeds it.
The glass — your knowledge
What you studied stays clear while it’s fresh and frosts as it fades — and the app offers the review that wipes the glass.
Three masters. One lamp.
The app ships three complete classical station-ladders — you choose whose map guides your climb. The chosen scholar is the path.
Watching the lamp is free for everyone · beginning the guided climb is a Joyful+ commitment.

Tap a station on the arc.
A tracker that doesn’t lie to you.
The day turns at Maghrib, as days do. A missed day means a resting lamp, not a broken streak — the Lantern never manufactures guilt, never inflates numbers, and never shows your record to anyone else. It is the opposite of a social feed: muḥāsaba, made gentle.
Light it tonight.
The lamp burns for every member, free and Joyful+ alike. The guided climb — your chosen scholar, station by station — comes with Joyful+, along with the watch-face lamp and home-screen widgets that keep it in view.
