How the App Works
The app operates primarily by fetching content from our own servers and from trusted Islamic content CDNs. Here is exactly what happens when you use the app:
Quran Text, Translations & Tafseer
Arabic verses, Urdu/English translations, and tafseer text are fetched from our own API server. These are read-only requests — no user data is ever sent.
Arabic Recitation Audio
Verse recitation is streamed from cdn.islamic.network (a widely used, trusted Islamic CDN operated by the Global Quran Project). This is a standard HTTP GET request with no user identifier attached.
Tafseer & Translation Audio
Per-ayah tafseer and translation audio files are served as static MP3s directly from our own hosting. No user data is involved.
No Account or Authentication
There is no login, registration, or user profile system anywhere in the app. All content is fully accessible anonymously.
App Permissions
The app requests only the minimum device permissions necessary to function:
INTERNETRequired to fetch Quran content, translations, tafseer text, and stream audio files from our servers and the CDN.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATEUsed to detect whether the device is online so the app can show appropriate offline/online messages.
The app does not request permissions for microphone, camera, contacts, location, storage write access, or any other sensitive permission.
Third-Party Services
The app makes use of the following third-party service solely for delivering audio content:
cdn.islamic.network
Global Quran Project — Islamic Content CDN
Used to stream Arabic verse recitation audio (Sheikh Mishary Rashid Alafasy, 128 kbps). This CDN serves standard HTTP audio files. We do not send any user identifier in these requests, and we have no control over or access to the CDN server logs. Please review the alquran.cloud privacy policy for their data handling practices.
We do not integrate any of the following into the app:
- ✕Google Analytics
