Built for a class, shared for every student of the Qur'an.

Principle: Forgetting is the default state, not a personal failing. Retention is a scheduled act, repeated forever, not a one-time achievement.

In the app: Every theme question and root card you meet enters a spaced-repetition queue. The interval is computed from your own recall grade, so the review arrives at the edge of forgetting instead of at random.

Principle: Beyond daily revision there is a full re-presentation of everything learned, on a fixed cycle — the original 'cumulative exam'.

In the app: Your study log timestamps every surah pass, so you can see what has gone longest without a full re-reading and deliberately re-present it rather than only servicing the day's due cards.

Principle: Small units, fully understood and acted on, before moving forward. Coverage without comprehension is not progress.

In the app: Surahs are cut into themed movements, not verse counts. A theme is not marked complete until you have read its tafsīr, answered its recall questions, and written one line on how it changes something.

Principle: Writing is not note-hoarding; it is the mechanism that fixes a fleeting understanding into something recoverable.

In the app: Notes attach to the specific theme that produced them. Handwritten class notes can be photographed, transcribed, translated and filed under the right theme, then exported as a printable sheet.

Principle: Two of the six are structural, not intellectual: a teacher, and duration. No amount of effort compresses the timeline.

In the app: The curriculum is laid out as a multi-year path in revelation order, and the app is explicitly the work you do between sittings with a teacher — never a replacement for one.

Principle: Retention has a moral dimension. Technique is necessary but not sufficient; the state of the heart is part of the method.

In the app: Each theme closes with an action prompt — one concrete thing to change — because the classical model treats acting on knowledge as a condition for keeping it, not an optional extra.

Principle: Two mechanisms named a thousand years before cognitive science: retrieval practice with a partner, and distributed rather than massed learning.

In the app: Theme quizzes are randomised in order and paraphrased in wording, so a retake tests recall rather than pattern memory — a mudhākarah partner who never asks it the same way twice.

Principle: Consistency beats intensity. A daily minimum sustained for years outperforms occasional immersion.

In the app: The home screen only ever asks for today's due items — usually five to ten minutes — and the study log makes the streak of small sittings visible rather than the size of any one session.

Principle: An explicit expanding-repetition schedule: newer material rehearsed more often, older material less — the pre-modern statement of spaced repetition.

In the app: The scheduler implements exactly this curve numerically: an item you graded 'again' returns within a day, one you graded 'easy' returns in weeks, and every card carries its own interval.

Principle: Mastery gating and prior preparation: arrive at the lesson already read, and never advance on a shaky foundation.

In the app: The mastery dashboard scores each theme on unaided recall and tells you what to study next, while mistakes and misconceptions only clear after two consecutive correct answers.

Principle: Learn in widening spirals, not in one exhaustive pass. Depth on a first encounter overwhelms and teaches nothing.

In the app: Every surah is built in layers you can stop at: seerah context, then theme summaries, then verse-by-verse Arabic with tafsīr, then roots. Returning later takes the next layer instead of rereading the first.

Principle: A fixed daily wird plus deliberate reflection. Volume of recitation without meaning is not the goal.

In the app: The daily queue is your wird, and each theme pairs recall questions with one reflection prompt whose answer is saved — so months later you can read what you understood at the time.

Principle: Recitation is transmitted mouth to mouth (talaqqī). No text and no screen can certify how you sound.

In the app: This app deliberately does not teach recitation. It handles meaning, context, vocabulary and retention so that time with a qualified teacher is spent on the one thing only a teacher can give.

Principle: A fixed hierarchy of evidence, and asbāb al-nuzūl as an interpretive tool rather than a story.

In the app: Every theme cites in that order — related āyāt, then ṣaḥīḥ narration, then named classical tafsīr — and each source is printed with the āyah so you never learn a claim you cannot trace.

Principle: Context is not background colour; it is a precondition of correct meaning.

In the app: Each surah opens on an interactive seerah timeline that places the revelation inside the Prophet's ﷺ life, with the narration that reports it named beside the event.

Principle: The metric of a session is understanding produced, not pages covered.

In the app: Progress here is measured in themes you can explain unaided and takeaways you have acted on — never in verses scrolled. The dashboard reports recall, not coverage.

Principle: Personalisation: read the āyah as addressed to you, today, in your circumstances.

In the app: The reflection prompt for each theme asks for your own situation, and the notes you write are searchable later — turning the Qur'an's address into a record of your own answers to it.
