Due to the rising prices of paper, religious books have also become expensive, but thank God, sincere people have made great efforts for the lovers of the Quran and Hadith and have created hundreds of websites as well as countless apps that largely free a religious student and a common man from the hassle of buying and handling expensive books.
Today we want to mention a few such apps. Some apps are beneficial for the general student as well as the public, while some apps can only be used by people who have a good command of the Arabic language and are familiar with basic religious sciences.
(1) IslamOne
This is an excellent and wonderful app for basic knowledge of the Quran and Hadith. It is very easy to use and works wonderfully even without the net. It contains authentic books of Hadith with translations, recitations of the Quran, various translations and interpretations. The font is very high, which is very enjoyable. There is excellent content on the biography of the Prophet and the life of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), prayers and Sunnah azkars are available, this is a wonderful app for the daily life of an ordinary Muslim.
(2) TafseerOne
This app has also been created by the people of Islam One and has collected thirty famous tafsirs, including Urdu and English tafsirs. Students who are passionate about tafsir can benefit greatly from it. The rest of its use is also very easy and convenient.
(3) Tarteel
For those who want to memorize some part of the Holy Quran, this app is very wonderful. The best Mushaf is available and recitations of famous reciters can be downloaded, each verse can be locked and listened to unlimited times. There is also a premium version of it that can be obtained by spending money in which artificial intelligence can make memorization easier, but the free version is also very wonderful.
(4) Jamiat al-Kitb al-Tsaa’
This is a wonderful app for students or scholars who should study authentic Arabic books of hadiths and their commentaries directly instead of translations. Here, hadiths are found by topic, while where the words of a hadith are found in other books can also be found easily with a click. The greatest advantage is that it is easy to use even without the Internet. The fonts are perfect and it is also very easy to use.
(5) Al-Baath al-Qurani
This is the best app for students and scholars who want to read ancient and modern authentic interpretations in Arabic and also want to see Arabic dictionaries. It has wonderful fonts and is very easy to use. The only problem is that this app can only be used with the Internet and does not work without the Internet.
(6) Al-Muktab Al-Shamilah
The name of Maktaba Al-Shamilah needs no introduction when it comes to Arabic religious books. There are thousands of books in this app under every religious title including Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, Logic, and Eloquence. It also has a website, software, and an app. Compared to the apps mentioned above, this app requires a little learning curve and there may be some problems in using it for the common man, but those who are involved in learning religious sciences cannot be satisfied with it. This app is not for the masses.
