Study the Qur’an in your own hand

The muṣḥaf you can write on. Handwrite, highlight, and layer your reflections, then find every one again, years later.

One email at launch. Nothing else.

كِتَـٰبٌ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَـٰرَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

kitābun anzalnāhu ilayka mubārakun liyaddabbarū āyātihi waliyatadhakkara ulū l-albābi

“[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.”

Ṣād 38:29 · Saheeh International

The entire muṣḥaf is already inside: 604 pages of verified Uthmani script, 6,236 āyāt, and 77,429 word-by-word translations. All of it readable and searchable offline, verse by verse or as a continuous muṣḥaf page.

Uthmani text, Saheeh International translation, and the word-by-word corpus ship inside the app. Online tafsīr and further translations come from the Quran Foundation’s reviewed resources and are never machine-translated.

Read it. Write on it. Find it again.

Underline a phrase, note the margin, circle a root. The page stays primary, and every mark stays put.

Write like it’s paper

Rest your palm, press for darker ink, hold a stroke to straighten an underline. Every mark keeps its pressure, tilt, and twist, and it stays exactly where you left it.

Read it your way

Verse by verse with translation, or a true muṣḥaf page of continuous Arabic. The script never shrinks to fit a screen: pages breathe, and you scroll.

Layer your thinking

Keep tafsīr, vocabulary, and memorization on separate layers you show or hide. One page, read three ways.

Notes that keep context

Every verse note, sticky note, and bookmark reopens the exact page and āyah it belongs to.

Search all of it

One search covers the Qur’an, your notebooks, notes, and bookmarks. Last Ramadan’s reflection is a few letters away.

Never lose a mark

Versioned local backups, one-tap recovery, and printable PDF exports of a whole notebook.

Three promises, in ink

  • The page stays primary. Nothing we build may crowd the muṣḥaf: no feeds, no badges over the text, no interruptions.
  • Your marginalia stays yours. It lives on your device, exports whenever you ask, and is never mined or sold.
  • Free means free forever. Reading the complete Qur’an and writing on it never move behind a paywall.

Your study stays yours

Your notebooks, ink, and notes live on your device, not on our servers. With no account, there is nothing of yours for us to see: your marginalia cannot leave your device unless you choose to sync it. Analytics stays off unless you turn it on.

Online tafsīr, translations, and recitation come from licensed sources, shown with their citations. Deleting your cloud account never touches the notebooks on your device.

A letter from the team

We started Ayah Ink because our own muṣḥafs were overflowing: pencil fading, sticky tabs falling out, notebooks drifting away from the pages they belonged to. We wanted one desk where reading and writing stay together for a lifetime of study.

We hold this work as an amānah. The text comes from verified, licensed sources and is treated with the care it deserves. Your study belongs to you alone. And nothing in the app will ever nudge, gamify, or interrupt you for engagement’s sake. It is a desk, not a feed.

If you’ve wanted this too, leave your email below. Keep us in your du‘ās.
