EsSiraj
Our story

A lantern lit with care

EsSiraj is a modern Qur'an companion built with reverence for the Sacred Book and respect for the person holding the phone.

السراج

A lantern lit with care

The word "siraj" means lantern. In the Qur'an, the Prophet ﷺ is described as a "luminous lamp" — and the Qur'an itself a guiding light. We chose the name as a reminder: we are not the light. The Qur'an is. Our work is only to hold the lamp steady.

EsSiraj started from a simple observation: every Muslim family deserves a Qur'an app that feels like it belongs on their nightstand — beautiful, calm, honest, private. Not a product built for engagement metrics, but a companion built for the heart. We carry the full Qur'an, 27+ reciters, prayer times, qibla, adhkar, hifz tools and much more — all offline, all as sadaqah jariyah.

وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيرًا

"And a caller to Allah by His permission, and a shining lantern."

Sūrah al-Aḥzāb · 33:46

Principles

What we believe

  • The Qur'an first

    Every design choice starts from the question: does this bring the user closer to the Qur'an, or get in the way?

  • Privacy by default

    Your reading, your hifz, your prayers — all stay on your device. No server. No account. No analytics SDK.

  • Calm over clever

    No streaks that shame you. No notifications that annoy. A tool that respects your time and your spiritual rhythm.

  • Free forever

    Offered as sadaqah jariyah — no subscription, no paywall, no premium tier. Gratis for every Muslim, always.
