The Mushaf
The page, exactly as it is printed.
Seven calligraphy styles, every one of them bundled in the app and drawn with its own typeface. Page numbers, juz marks and surah headers follow the printed Mushaf, so what you memorised by position stays where you memorised it.
New in this release, Mushaf al-Madinah sets the King Fahd Complex’s own face over the Complex’s own spelling of the text. A face and the orthography it was cut for are one decision rather than two, so Ummahti ships them as a pair.
Four of the seven are set side by side here.
- Five ways to read. Mushaf page, verse stream, continuous, Focus and Hifz.
- Translation built in. English works offline; tafsir, other translations and transliteration load when you ask for them.
- No connection needed. The Arabic text, search, bookmarks and navigation are on the device from the moment you install.
Drag the page to turn it.
Search
Type it wrong. Find it anyway.
Most Qur’an search expects you to already know the answer: the exact spelling, the right script, the surah number. Ummahti’s does not.
It reads Latin spelling by ear, forgives a wrong letter, ignores the harakat, understands a reference, and knows a verse by the name people actually call it. All of it runs on the phone, offline.
- It searches your translation. Whichever edition you downloaded, in its own language, with the translator credited, or credited to nobody rather than to the wrong one.
- It never highlights the wrong word. A match found by sound or by typo has no literal place in the text, so those results are shown unmarked rather than with a nearby word lit up to look answered.
- No query ever leaves the phone. No cloud search, no search SDK, and nothing about what you looked for in any log or report.

Ummahti Guide
Say what you are facing. Read what was revealed about it.
Guide is a destination of its own in the app. Describe a situation in your own words and it answers from the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah, naming the exact source you can open and read for yourself.
There is no AI in it, and it issues no rulings. The catalogue is written and reviewed in advance, the matching runs on your phone, and what you type never leaves it.
- Every answer names its source. Surah and ayah, or the collection, the number and the grading. Nothing is put in front of you without the reference to check it against.
- It opens into the app you already use. A verse Guide shows you opens in the reader, saves to your bookmarks, or takes a private reflection, through the same reader, the same Saved and the same reflections.
- It tells a heavy week from an emergency. The first is met with sourced, practical guidance. The second is met with a short, direct line about reaching someone. Ummahti is a Qur’an app, and it does not pretend to be a crisis service.
You type
And one thing to do
You type I can’t stop worrying
Anxiety and Worry Heart & Emotions
- Qur’an 13:28 Start here States that hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah.
- Qur’an 94:5-6
- Qur’an 2:286
- Sahih al-Bukhari 6363 Sahih Seeking refuge from worry and grief by name.
- Sunan Abi Dawud 1319 Hasan, per al-Albani
And one thing to do Return to short, simple dhikr when your mind is racing: even a few words, repeated.
Real answers, from a catalogue of eighty-one topics across ten categories, on Qur’an references from sixty-seven surahs, fifty-seven graded narrations and fifteen supplications — matched in ten languages, so the situation can be described in the words you would actually use. The Arabic itself is in the app, drawn with the app’s own vetted Qur’an typefaces, and never in a browser.
Ayah on Unlock
An ayah waiting when you pick up your phone.
Unlock your phone and one ayah is there, with its translation, its reference, and the juz and page to turn to if you want to sit with the passage properly. Read it and carry on, or set it aside for later. It is the one habit the app asks of you, and you can turn it off in a single tap.
It never moves your place. Whatever you were last reading is exactly where you left it, untouched.

-
Hifz tracker
Guided repetition and revision for memorisation, counted honestly and never scored.
Twelve themes
Read in a light that suits the hour.
Four are core reading themes. Eight are drawn from a tradition or a place: the mushaf of Madinah, an Ottoman manuscript, Andalusian Cordoba, Persian illumination, the marble of Sheikh Zayed, the kiswah of the Haramain, dawn light in Shiraz and a carved stone screen at night.
Nothing is traced, photographed or reproduced. Every motif is geometry drawn in code, and each theme says plainly whether its pattern is derived from a tradition, broadly inspired by one, or Ummahti’s own. Every palette is taken from its source and then adjusted until the text clears AAA contrast, in that order and never the reverse.
New in this release, Reading Themes and Heritage sets each one beside a live preview and the story of where its pattern came from. The picker in Settings is unchanged; this sits beside it, for looking before you choose.
Choose one and this page will read in it too.

Eighteen are recorded ayah by ayah. The other twenty are whole-surah reads, made ayah-addressable by each recording’s own published timings, so a tap still lands on the verse you tapped.

One verse
Hear the ayah our name comes from.
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ
Inna hādhihi ummatukum ummatan wāḥidatan wa-ana rabbukum fa’budūn

The name
Why “Ummahti”.
Ummahti is Arabic for “my Ummah”. It is the word the Prophet ﷺ used for the people who would come after him.
It is reported that every prophet was given one supplication that is answered, and that each of them hastened to make it. He held his back, and kept it as intercession for his Ummah on the Day of Resurrection: reaching, if Allah wills, whoever of his Ummah dies associating nothing with Allah.
The app carries the name because of what the word cost him, not as a claim on the outcome. What an app can do is keep the reading close and name every source it puts in front of you.
The full page is in the app, under About. It reads offline and needs no account.
The promise
The reading is the product. Not your attention, and not your data.
- No account, ever There is no sign-in, because there is nothing to sign in to. The app has no user accounts by design.
- No advertising No ads, no advertising identifier, and no in-app purchases. The app is free and stays free.
- Your reading stays on your phone Bookmarks, reflections, notes and reading position are stored on the device, not on a server.
- Diagnostics start switched off Optional crash and usage reporting is disabled until you choose to turn it on.
Before you install
The questions worth asking first.
Is it really free?
Yes, and it stays free. There are no advertisements, no subscription, no paid tier and no in-app purchases of any kind. Nothing in the app is held behind a payment, and no feature is withheld to sell you a better one later.
What does it cost me instead, then?
Nothing. There is no account to make, no advertising identifier, and no reading history kept about you. Your position, bookmarks, reflections and Hifz practice stay on your device and are never uploaded. Diagnostics are off unless you turn them on, and every feature works identically with them off. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is stored and what is sent.
Does it work without a connection?
The parts you read with, yes. The complete Arabic Qur’an, the bundled English translation, search, bookmarks, navigation and Ummahti Guide are on the device from the moment you install, and need no connection ever. Streaming a reciter and downloading an additional translation are the two things that do.
Which translations can I read it in?
Saheeh International is bundled and works offline out of the box. Beyond it you can download Yusuf Ali, Pickthall, and Hilali & Khan in English, and editions in Urdu, Turkish, French, Indonesian, Bengali, Hindi, German and Russian. Each one names its translator in Settings, and an edition whose translator could not be established is not offered at all.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not at the moment. Ummahti is an Android app, and Google Play is the only place it is published. Rather than promise a date, the honest answer is that there is nothing to install on iOS today — the YouTube channel and the community group are where anything on that front would be said first.
Is Ummahti Guide an AI, or a fatwa service?
Neither. Guide matches what you describe against a catalogue of topics written and reviewed in advance, and answers with Qur’an and authentic Sunnah passages held against that topic, each named with its exact reference so you can check it yourself. Nothing is generated. It issues no rulings, and where a topic’s honest answer is that there is no prescribed recitation for it, it says so.
