From Al-Jazariyyah, the foundational text of tajweed

يَقُولُ رَاجِي عَفْوِ رَبٍّ سَامِعِ
مُحَمَّدُ ابْنُ الْجَزَرِيِّ الشَّافِعِي
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَىٰ نَبِيِّهِ وَمُصْطَفَاهُ

Ibn al-Jazari

Daily Wird

Set a daily portion and keep a steady rhythm of review, one sitting at a time.

Recitation Tracking

Recite aloud and follow the words Matn recognises on your device. It supports practice; it does not replace a teacher's correction.

About Matn

"The text remains at the centre of the work."

Matn is a reading and memorisation app for classical Arabic mutun and other study texts from the Islamic sciences. The library is organised by subject, with the Arabic text at the centre of the reading view.

Use it to read, set a daily portion, review lines, and keep your place. Reference recordings appear where an approved contribution is available.

Recitation tracking runs on your device and is intended for private practice. It follows recognised words; it does not assess your recitation or replace a teacher's correction.

Matn is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Matn?

Matn is a free app for reading and memorising classical Arabic mutun and other study texts from the Islamic sciences. It includes reading, daily portions, review, progress tracking, and optional on-device recitation tracking.

Is Matn free?

Yes. Matn is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. It is currently distributed through private TestFlight and Google Play internal testing, rather than a public app-store release.

Does Matn work offline?

Core reading and review work offline after setup. Texts are included in the app; recitation tracking needs a one-time Arabic recognition-model download.

What texts are available in Matn?

Matn contains 30 texts in tajweed, aqeedah, hadith, Arabic language and rhetoric, fiqh, usul al-fiqh, tasawwuf, and Prophetic praise. Recent additions include al-Durrah al-Bahiyyah, Kifayat al-Ghulam, al-Jawhar al-Maknun, and Mutahharat al-Qulub. Reference recordings appear where an approved contribution is available.

How does spaced repetition work in Matn?

Matn schedules line review from your practice history. Lines that need more work return sooner; lines you know well are reviewed less often.
