القرآن

The Quran on your TV, made simple.

Pick a reciter. Pick a surah. Press play. Read along in Arabic, Dhivehi and English while the recitation plays on the big screen, verse by verse.

The problem

Finding the Quran on a TV shouldn't be a search.

On most TVs the Quran means opening YouTube and hunting.

  • Typing a surah and a reciter with the TV remote, every time.
  • Scrolling past ads, recommendations and videos that aren't what you wanted.
  • Playlists that stop, jump, or end in the middle of something else.
  • Recitation with no translation you can follow, or none in Dhivehi.

QuranTV makes it three presses.

1

Choose a reciter

50 reciters, with Husary, Abdul Basit and Minshawi in more than one style.

2

Choose a surah

All 114 surahs, with the calligraphy of each name. Or type its number.

3

Press play

It plays straight away, and the next time you open it, it picks up where you stopped.

See it

Al-Ikhlas, recited by Husary, read in Bakurube's translation.

From the home screen to the verses following the recitation. As each verse is recited, its Arabic, word-by-word meaning and translation appear.

Recorded on the TV. Turn the sound on to hear Mahmoud Al-Husary's recitation.

What it does

Everything you need, nothing that gets in the way.

Recitations

50 reciters, 55 recitations

Every recitation has all 114 surahs. Husary, Abdul Basit and Minshawi come in several styles: Murattal, Mujawwad and Muallim. Choosing one asks which you'd like.

Read along

Verses that follow the recitation

The translation panel moves to each verse as it is recited, in Arabic, Dhivehi and English, or in any of 12 more languages you download in Settings. Verse timing is available for 49 of the 55 recitations.

Bakurube

Simple

Made for the remote

Calm

Nothing to distract you

Surah names in calligraphy, an Arabic typeface made for the Quran, and a quiet clock in the corner. In the audio source there are no ads or recommendations, only the recitation.

Reciters

50 reciters, one tap away.

Every recitation has all 114 surahs, and 49 of the 55 follow along verse by verse.
