I kept forgetting older surahs while memorizing new ones - so I made an app that actually helps. It's free now
Assalamu alaykum, everyone. I'm a Qur'an student, and I was struggling big time. You know how it goes: you push ahead with new pages, but the old ones slip away quietly. And then muraja'ah feels like a heavy guilt trip instead of something steady. I saw so many of us dealing with the same thing - the sincerity is there, but the structure just isn't.
So I talked to my teachers and built Tatbith (تثبيت - meaning 'to make firm'). Every bit of it comes from their feedback, so it's based on real hifdh teaching methods, not some random app idea. It's on Google Play now, totally free. Here's what's in it:
📖 A proper method, not just a task list. Each session takes you through 7 steps from the traditional way: du'a & intention → counted repetition (tikrar) → listening → memorizing → anchoring → retention → muhasaba. The app guides you through it all.
🔢 Tikrar counter per ayah. You track repetition for the exact verse you're on - no vague timer. You always know your progress.
🔁 A review cycle that keeps old pages strong. New memorization stays balanced with review, so what you memorized months ago stays solid like yesterday's work.
📊 Progress tracking based on the mushaf. See your hifdh by page, hizb, juz, and surah - what's firm, what needs more care.
🕌 Subac mode (سُبَاع) - this one's special, from the Somali hifdh tradition I grew up with. A reciter you choose recites an ayah, then it's your turn - the next ayah is hidden and you recite it from memory. Back and forth, ayah by ayah, like sitting with your sheikh. Stuck? Tap to reveal one word at a time.
Fully offline, no ads, no gamification - no streak pressure, no badges. Just you, the Qur'an, and a clear plan each day.
