A new way to read the Quran.
Munib takes your habit of doomscrolling short-form content and points it somewhere better: a swipeable Quran, one ayah at a time, recited aloud, with translation and pronunciation. Start with one minute a day, and ask about any ayah that speaks to you.
Try it: swipe up, and tap a card to listen.
Our attention has been shrinking
How long people stay focused on one screen before switching to something else, measured by Professor Gloria Mark at the University of California, Irvine.

The time the average UK adult spends online every day, mostly on a phone.
Ofcom, Online Nation 2025In 70 studies, heavier use of short videos like TikTok and Reels was linked to poorer attention and self-control.
Psychological Bulletin, 2025The first step to staying sane in insane times is choosing what you let into your head.
Most feeds are built to keep you angry, anxious or envious. Every minute spent there is a minute of someone else's noise taking up space in your heart.
Munib is a feed you can trust with that space. No outrage, no algorithm guessing what will keep you hooked. When you've been scrolling for 20 minutes, Munib tells you, and suggests you rest or go deeper instead of scrolling on.
Doomscrolling changed how we pay attention. We can use that.
Years of short videos have trained us to take things in quickly, a few seconds at a time. Sitting down with a whole page of the Quran can feel impossible, and then the guilt makes it harder still.
Munib doesn't fight that habit. It borrows it. The feed you scroll is made of ayat, each one short enough to take in, recited aloud as it appears, with the word being recited lighting up so you can follow along.
As you keep coming back, Munib gently stretches your attention: single ayat, then short passages, then whole surahs.
A single ayah
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
A few seconds. One ayah, heard and understood.
Short passages
Two to four ayat together, like the comfort at the end of Surah al-Baqarah.
Whole surahs
Short surahs from start to finish, then longer readings. The attention you rebuilt, put to its best use.
Most Quran apps are made for people who already read every day
They're digital mushafs: pages of text, waiting for you to sit down and focus. That's wonderful if you can. Munib is for the rest of us, built around how we actually use our phones.
What's on your heart today?
Most of us only open the Quran when we already know what we're looking for. Munib starts from how you feel. Pick a feeling, or something happening in your life, and For you begins with ayat that speak to it, chosen with care and never stating rulings.
New habits aren't built by diving into the deep end. They're built by small steps, taken every day, for long enough that they become part of you.
So start with one minute. A few ayat on your commute, before bed, or instead of opening another app. Munib sends one gentle check-in a day at most, with no streaks to break and no guilt.
Finish the whole Quran in a year
Seventeen ayat takes about three minutes: roughly 1% of the time the average person in the UK spends online each day. Do it every day, in the Quran tab, and a year from now you'll have read the whole Quran, cover to cover, a little at a time. Munib keeps your place and shows how far you've come.
Everything you need to read, understand and remember
The whole Quran, in order
All 114 surahs as bite-size cards you swipe through. Munib remembers your place, works offline for surahs you've opened, and needs no account.
What's on your heart today?
Pick how you feel, anxious, grieving, grateful, lonely, or what's happening in your life, and For you starts with ayat that speak to it.
Ask about any ayah
Wondering what an ayah means for you? Ask in your own words, and get a short answer from the classic Tafsir Ibn Kathir. No rulings: for your own situation, it points you to a scholar.
More than ayat
Between the ayat: duas, the Names of Allah, prophets' stories, myths and facts, quick quizzes and small Sunnah to try today, each with its source.
New to Islam?
The five pillars, the six articles of faith, the life of the Prophet ﷺ, everyday words explained and the Arabic alphabet, letter by letter, with recitation.
A community, checked first
Muslims share reminders, lessons and short videos. Every post is checked against our guidelines before anyone sees it.
Recitation, word by word
Recited by Mishary Alafasy, as-Sudais, al-Husary or al-Minshawi. Each word lights up as it's said.
Hold a word for its meaning
Press and hold any Arabic word to see what it means and how to say it. Slowly, the Arabic starts to make sense.
Tafsir on every ayah
The explanation from Tafsir Ibn Kathir, in English, Urdu or Bengali, one tap away.
7 translations and pronunciation
English, Urdu, Bengali, Indonesian, Turkish, French and Spanish, with transliteration for anyone still learning to read Arabic.
Share a beautiful ayah
Send an ayah as an image to your family WhatsApp group, with an optional Jumuʿah, Ramadan or Eid greeting.
Memorise mode
Repeat an ayah up to 10 times, then hide the words one by one and recite from memory.
This year, after my father passed away, I set out to become a better Muslim. One of the first things I wanted was to read the Quran properly, and I struggled. I'd sit down with good intentions and lose focus within minutes.
Then I noticed how easily I could lose an hour scrolling. My attention wasn't gone. It had just been trained for something else.
Munib is the app I needed: the same scroll, pointed back towards Allah. I hope it helps you too.
