Quran Gallery Changelog

May 2026

May brought a Practice mode to Adhkar, a Quran Companion that puts the mushaf beside Chat, prayer logging from any city page, a Listen player that follows you between pages, 99 Nazira lessons, and Hifz sessions on the full mushaf reader.

Adhkar Practice mode, the Quran Companion and a new Listen player

This was a month about daily practice. Adhkar learned to count with you: open a category in Practice mode and it shows one dhikr at a time, keeps your place for the day and marks the moment you finish. Prayer gained one-tap logging on every city page, a redesigned tracker, and prayer times that follow your saved city's time zone instead of your device's clock.

Reading and study moved closer together. The Quran Companion in Chat opens a full mushaf beside the assistant, so you can tap a verse and ask about it without switching tabs. Hifz — now Madrasah — moved its memorise and review sessions onto that same reader, with audio and page turns, and added a recall test where you put the words of an ayah back in order.

Chat answers got more open and much faster: when the review pass corrects an answer it now says so and links to the original, and the slowest replies dropped from several minutes to under half a minute. Listen gained a player that stays with you across every page, with reciter and riwayah switching built in, plus pages for browsing the recitations of each riwayah.

Nazira received a full 99-lesson word-by-word course, and Studio gained a Share button for sending verse images to WhatsApp.

In short

  • Adhkar has a Practice mode that shows one dhikr at a time, counts with you and keeps your progress for the day.
  • The Quran Companion in Chat puts a full mushaf beside the assistant — tap a verse and ask what it means.
  • You can log Fajr through Isha in one tap from any city page in the Prayer app, and times now follow the city you saved.
  • Listen has a player that stays with you across every page, with verse markers, a sleep timer and reciter switching.
  • Nazira now has 99 word-by-word lessons built from Al-Fatihah, Juz 30 and Ayat al-Kursi.

Prayer logging everywhere and a Listen player that follows you

Prayer

  • The Tracking page is rebuilt as one scrolling page inside the Prayer app's usual navigation, led by a banner whose sky colours follow the time of day, with a countdown to the next prayer, today's Hijri and Gregorian dates and your streak. If you live east of UTC, it no longer mistakes tomorrow for today.
  • Every city page now lets you mark each of the five prayers as Offered, Qaza or Missed with one tap. If you aren't signed in, you see a preview of the log behind a sign-in button that brings you back to the same city afterwards.
  • Prayer times now show in your saved city's own time zone, so someone in Pakistan looking at Makkah sees Makkah's Fajr time rather than a shifted one.
  • Qibla, Mosques and Tracking each have a "Use current location" button, so a missing location is one tap to fix. Preferences now open from the top bar on every page, and the menu labels are shorter: Qibla, Calendar, Mosques, Tracking.
  • The monthly timetable now opens centred on today with a clear TODAY label; before, today's row was hidden past the 7th of the month. Your first visit also shows full prayer times for the city we detect rather than a half-empty banner.
  • The Hijri calendar now offers eight moon-sighting authorities that each give distinct dates, down from 23 that mostly duplicated each other. Diyanet dates are corrected — Dhul Hijjah 1447 had been shown starting almost a month late.

Quran Gallery

  • The homepage prayer section now shows live prayer times for your city with a countdown, and a full Hijri month calendar where you can switch moon-sighting authority. Shortcuts beside them open the Calendar, Qibla, Mosques and Tracking pages directly.

Listen

  • A new player sits at the bottom of every Listen page and keeps playing as you browse, even after a reload. It shows verse markers on the progress bar, and gives you a volume slider, speeds from 0.5× to 2×, a sleep timer, repeat, download, 15-second skips and jumps to the previous or next surah.
  • Tap the reciter's name in the player to switch reciter or riwayah mid-listen; the list only shows reciters who have recorded the surah you're on, and keeps your place when the recordings are a similar length.
  • New riwayah pages let you browse all 21 riwayat, see which reciters recite each one, and play any surah in the riwayah you choose.

AI Chatbot

  • The Quran Companion works on phones: switch between Read and Ask AI tabs at the bottom of the screen. Tapping a verse quietly sets it as the question's subject and marks the Ask AI tab, so you can finish reading first.
  • Shared answer links now open for anyone, without asking them to sign in. Verse citations in answers open the verse in Quran Gallery's own reader, and Arabic and Urdu pages lay out right to left from the first moment.

Quran Reader

  • Moving to the next surah — from the button at the end of a surah, the page arrows or the surah picker — now updates the address and page title, so the back button and shared links work. It also loads far fewer fonts, fetching only the page you are on and its neighbours, so turning to a new surah is quicker.
  • If search is down, it now says so instead of claiming there are no results. Tafsir loads again by default on first visit, and the collections in My Quran open to show the verses inside them.

Madrasah

  • Hifz runs memorise and review sessions full screen, guiding you through Read & learn, Recall test and How did it go? A new recall test, "Rearrange the ayah", shuffles the words of the verse and asks you to tap them back into order.
  • You can add more juz, surahs or verse ranges to an existing plan, and the dashboard now shows one clear next step — review, memorise or "all caught up" — with your streak alongside. If you chose IndoPak when you set up, your sessions now open in the 15-line Urdu mushaf instead of an empty page.

Daily Adhkar

  • The Adhkar home page and the Tasbeeh page no longer stop with an error for signed-in users.

Adhkar Practice mode and the Quran Companion

Daily Adhkar

  • Every adhkar category now opens in Practice or Read mode. Practice shows one dhikr at a time — tap to count, then swipe or use the arrow keys to move on, starting from the first one you haven't finished today. Read shows the whole list, with a "Jump to" sheet for long categories like Morning.
  • A row of dots under each category shows how far through today's set you are, in both modes, and finishing the set brings up a short celebration. In Settings you can choose which mode opens by default and turn down motion or sound.
  • When you are signed in, the Adhkar home page shows the adhkar for the current time of day — morning, evening or before sleep — so you can practise without leaving it, alongside three after-salah tasbeeh rings that open the full-screen counter.
  • Favourites is now My Practice: ready-made Morning, Evening and After-Salah routines, the categories you completed in the last week, and the adhkar you saved. The Tasbeeh page offers one-tap Istighfar ×100 and Salawat ×100 goals, and tasbeeh counts, saved adhkar and streaks work again for signed-in users after failing with an error.

AI Chatbot

  • The Quran Companion opens a mushaf beside the assistant. Tap a verse and ask "what does this verse mean?" — the answer is about that verse. The mushaf is the full reader, with audio, tafsir, translations and page turns, and you can drag the assistant panel wider or narrower.
  • Each Companion session is listed in the Chat sidebar under its mushaf's name, and reopening one takes you back to the last verse you tapped with the conversation intact. You can delete sessions from the sidebar too.
  • Answers arrive much faster: the slowest replies took three to four minutes and now take around 15–30 seconds, because the extra review pass only runs on answers that need it. A loop that could keep bouncing you between sign-in and Chat is fixed, and a question asked from the homepage now sends reliably.
  • Chat fits phones better: larger buttons, no sideways scrolling, an input that clears the iPhone home bar, and a sidebar button that opens every time.

Quran Reader

  • My Quran has a new look, with your bookmarks, notes and collections laid out as cards and dates shown as "Today" or "3 days ago". It shows what you have saved to your Quran.com account, and if you haven't linked one yet you can do it from the page.
  • The Translations tab in the study drawer now lets you choose several translations at once, and Arabic, Urdu and Bengali tafsir and translations are set in proper script fonts. Tapping the "…" on a word opens the study drawer straight away instead of a long menu.
  • Opening a mushaf now takes you straight to its first pages, as a single page on a phone or a two-page spread on a wide screen, remembering which you prefer.
  • The reader is easier to use on phones, with bigger buttons in the top bar, reading-mode switch, page arrows and verse actions.

Madrasah

  • Hifz opens your memorise and review sessions in the full mushaf reader, in the mushaf you chose, with recitation audio, a reciter picker, a sleep timer, repeat and page turns.
  • The Progress page shows a 30-day activity heatmap, the verses you keep stumbling on, and your recent sessions.

Nazira

  • Nazira has a new word-by-word course of 99 lessons in three tiers, built from Al-Fatihah, all of Juz 30 and Ayat al-Kursi. Alongside the existing exercises, new ones ask you to tap the right translation for an Arabic word, or the right Arabic word for a translation — and lessons that previously failed to open now load.

Design Studio

  • A new Share button sends your verse image to WhatsApp, downloads it as a high-resolution PNG, copies it to your clipboard, or gives you code to embed it on your own website. Downloading an image no longer fails silently.
  • The Quran panel is reorganised into Navigation and Preferences, with a live preview and a font-size slider when adding a verse, and tajweed colouring now marks Lam Shamsiyyah and Hamzat al-Wasl. The editor is trimmed to that core: add a verse, style it, share it.

Across the suite

  • On an error page, Back no longer takes you off Quran Gallery if you arrived from another site, and a row of links takes you to any other app.

Checked answers in Chat and a verse toolbar in the reader

AI Chatbot

  • When the review pass finds a mistake, it now rewrites the answer and marks it as revised, with a link to read the original. Every answer now also comes with its sources and an at-a-glance summary.
  • While an answer is being written, placeholders show where the summary, sources and follow-up questions will appear, and a line above the input says whether Chat is connecting, writing or reviewing — even if you have scrolled away.
  • Empty conversations no longer pile up in the sidebar when a connection drops. Deleting the conversation you are in takes you to a new chat, the sidebar stays open when you start one on desktop, and on phones the input stays at the bottom without sideways scrolling.

Quran Reader

  • Hover over or tab to the number at the end of any verse for a small toolbar: play just that verse, or open its tafsir, translation or study notes. It works in Reading and Translation views alike.
  • New visitors start in the Madani mushaf, the 604-page script with its familiar rounded letters, and the reader now reopens in your saved reading mode without flashing another one first. IndoPak script displays correctly on first load, and the word-by-word options now sit under the Arabic settings tab.
  • Footnote numbers in tafsir can be tapped to show the footnote right below the text; tap again to close it.
  • The mushaf gallery shows each edition's real cover, including the Medina Mushaf, which had a blank card. Pages turn with a page-flip animation (instant if you prefer reduced motion), and a Mushaf link now sits in the top bar.

Quran Gallery

  • The homepage now opens with a question box — "What guidance do you seek today?" Type your own question or tap a suggestion such as "Verses about patience (Sabr)", and Chat opens with the answer already on its way.

Prayer

  • On a first visit, the Prayer app now starts from your own country's prayer times instead of defaulting to Pakistan.

Accounts

  • The "Continue with Quran.com" button now shows the real Quran.com logo, and the verse under the sign-in card spreads wider so it no longer wraps awkwardly on large screens.

Across the suite

  • Error pages across the apps now explain what went wrong in plain words, in all seven languages, instead of a bare error code.
