About IslamOne
What is IslamOne?
A free reference for reading and understanding the Quran in Urdu and English, with 29 translations and 50 tafaseer (commentaries), alongside 10 hadith collections, Riyad-us-Saliheen, duas and azkaar, the Seerah, books and fiqh. It also has prayer times, the Qibla and the Islamic calendar. The same texts are in the IslamOne app for iPhone, iPad and Android.
What does IslamOne believe?
We are Muslims. We bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah: Tawheed and Risalat, as the Quran says:فَاعْلَمْ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُفَاعۡلَمۡ اَنَّهٗ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ“So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah” (47:19)مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللّٰهِمُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” (48:29)وَلٰكِنْ رَّسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِیّٖنَوَلٰـكِنۡ رَّسُوۡلَ اللّٰهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيّٖنَ“but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets” (33:40)English: Sahih InternationalNo prophet will come after him. IslamOne serves the Quran and the Sunnah on this belief, and we do not publish any work by those who deny the finality of prophethood (Khatm-e-Nabuwwat).
Is it really free? Are there ads?
Yes, it is free, and there are no ads, no paid features and no subscriptions. Readers' donations pay for the servers, and every donation is accounted for on the Support page.
Who runs IslamOne?
IslamOne was started by Usman Pervez. His friend Dr. Kashif Rabbani then joined him, and together they have kept building it for years: the IslamOne apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, and now this website. It is a non-profit effort. May Allah accept their efforts. More on the About page.
Reading the Quran
How do I read a translation and a tafseer together?
Open a surah in the Quran reader and switch it to Tafseer mode, or open a tafseer from the Tafseer page. Each ayah card shows the Arabic with your chosen translations, followed by the tafseer's note on those ayahs.
Can I read several translations side by side?
Yes. In the reader, choose up to 10 Urdu and English translations; each ayah shows all of them in the order you picked. Your choice is remembered on this device, and on all your devices if you sign in.
Can I listen to the recitation?
Yes. Press play on any ayah or surah, and pick a reciter in the audio settings. The recitations come from everyayah.com.
Which Arabic script is used?
The IndoPak script, as in the Qurans printed in Pakistan and India, with a choice of fonts. You can switch the Arabic font in Settings.
Can I change the font size, colours or dark mode?
Yes, in Settings: the size of the Arabic and of the translations, light or dark mode, and a choice of theme colours.
Texts and sources
Where do the texts come from?
Every text comes from a source that allows us to show it. Most come from eQuranLibrary, with its written permission. Others are in the public domain, published under open terms (for example QuranEnc and Tanzil), or shared with the permission of their author or publisher. The Credits page lists every translation and tafseer with its translator or author and its source.
Are the texts changed or edited?
No. Each translation, tafseer and hadith is shown as its source published it. We only fix how it is displayed (for example spacing and line breaks), never the words. If you find a difference from the printed book, please report it.
Why is a translation or tafseer I know missing?
We add a work only when its text is free to use or its author or publisher has agreed, and we ask them before adding it. Some works are waiting for a reply. You can .
I found a mistake. How do I report it?
Press Report on that ayah, hadith or page and say what is wrong. We check every report against the source and correct it. If you are signed in, you can follow your report under My reports.
I hold the rights to a work on IslamOne. How do I contact you?
Email [email protected]. We will change the credit, correct the text or remove the work, as you ask. See Credits & copyright.
Copying and sharing
Can I copy or share an ayah, hadith or dua?
Yes. Use Copy or Share on any card: the text comes with a link to its page. Please keep the reference and the name of the translation or book when you pass it on. Sharing a link opens the same page with the same translations.
Can I use your texts in my own website, app or book?
The texts belong to their translators, authors and publishers. Our permission covers IslamOne only and does not pass on to others. For your own project, please ask the publisher named on the Credits page; some works are published under open terms that allow reuse with credit.
Can I download the texts or use your data in bulk?
No, we don't offer downloads or bulk copies of the texts, for the same reason: they are not ours to give. Please don't copy the site automatically; ask the publishers instead.
Accounts and privacy
Do I need an account?
No. Everything works without one, and your settings and bookmarks stay in your browser. Signing in is optional: it keeps your bookmarks, reading places and settings the same on all your devices.
What do you do with my data?
Only what is needed to sync your bookmarks and settings if you sign in. We don't sell or share it and there is no advertising tracking. Usage statistics are collected only if you allow them. The Privacy policy has the details.
How do I delete my account?
Open your account menu and choose Delete account. Your account and everything synced with it are deleted at once, and they are gone from our backups within 30 days.
Prayer times, Qibla and calendar
How are prayer times calculated?
On your device, from your city's location, with the calculation method and Asr method usual in your country. You can change both, and adjust each prayer by a few minutes, in the prayer times settings.
The times differ from my mosque's. Why?
Mosques often use a different calculation method or add a few minutes for safety. Choose the method your mosque uses, or adjust each prayer in the settings.
Can I get Adhan notifications?
On the website, notifications work while IslamOne is open in a browser tab. For Adhan alerts on your phone even when it is closed, use the IslamOne app.
Which Hijri calendar do you use?
The Umm al-Qura calendar. The start of a month can differ by a day from moon sighting in your country.
Hadith
Which hadith collections are there?
Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan an-Nasai, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah, Mishkaat-al-Masabih, Muwatta Imam Malik, Musnad Imam Ahmad and Maarif-ul-Hadith, plus Riyad-us-Saliheen, in Arabic with Urdu translation. See the Hadith page.
Which hadith grades are shown?
The grades that come with the source: Shaikh al-Albani's grading in Sunan an-Nasai and Jami at-Tirmidhi, and whether the chain is sahih or da'if in seven of the collections. We do not add grades of our own.
Why are hadith numbers different from another book or website?
Editions number hadith differently. We keep the numbering of our source, and where the text has its own number we show that too.
Apps and contact
Is there an app?
Yes, IslamOne for iPhone, iPad and Android, with the same texts. The app adds Adhan alerts, reminders and home-screen widgets. Get the app.
How can I support IslamOne?
