Ayah By Ayah: https://ayahbyayah.com An iOS app which I originally released in 2012 as a simple app for listening to the recitation of a single Ayat (verse) of the Qur'an. I've been performing intermittent upgrades over the years as I wanted to retain its simplicity and ease of use. It's not much but its nice to have complete autonomy over something.
As a non-Muslim with very, very limited exposure to the Qur’an, I’d be interested to know some of your favorite passages you’ve personally saved and/or read often. Cool app. Simple, to the point, and with actual useful functionality.
Ayah means verse in Arabic but can also mean a miracle. For Muslims every Ayah is an Ayah. There are 6236 such Ayat in the Qur'an.
In the last four months since turning 41, I've restarted my memorisation of the Qur'an and have just completed finishing the longest chapter this morning, all 49 pages of it.
The timeless nature of the Qur'an is such that it speaks to you directly, it challenges you to pause and reflect.
I finished memorising this verse this morning
"God does not burden any soul with more than it can bear: each gains whatever good it has done, and suffers its bad- ‘ Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make mistakes. Lord, do not burden us as You burdened those before us. Lord, do not burden us with more than we have strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelievers.’"
A humble request is open up Ayah By Ayah or any other Qur'an app or website at a 'random' place and see what you are shown.
