1 The Quran
- Arabic text - the Uthmani script from the Tanzil Project (tanzil.net), as distributed by AlQuran Cloud.
- IndoPak script (chosen in Settings, under Reading) - the IndoPak Nastaleeq text and font from Quran.com and the Quranic Universal Library (qul.tarteel.ai), shown unchanged. Every verse was checked against Quran.com's text when it was added.
- English translation - Translation by Talal Itani, ClearQuran.com. The Clear Quran, shared under the CC BY-ND 4.0 license, is used for every English verse on the site: the Quran reader, the English book view, search, the lessons, duas, stories, the verse of the day and the Salah page's surahs. His words are shown as he published them, so a verse says "God" where our own writing says "Allah", and uses English forms of names such as Abraham, Moses and John for Ibrahim, Musa and Yahya. When a verse is quoted inside a sentence that already has quotation marks, his inner marks are shown as single marks.
- Explanation (tafsir) - Tazkirul Quran by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged) by Hafiz Ibn Kathir, both served by the Quran.com API (Quran Foundation).
- Word-by-word meanings and read-along timings - the Quran.com API (Quran Foundation).
- Quran data provided by Quran Foundation - the word-by-word text and meanings, the read-along timings, the full-surah recitations, both tafsir editions and the IndoPak text and font all come through Quran Foundation.
- Recitations - Mishary Rashid Alafasy, Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary, Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais and Mohamed Siddiq Al-Minshawi. Full-surah audio comes from QuranicAudio through Quran.com; verse-by-verse audio for memorizing and prayer practice comes from the Islamic Network (cdn.islamic.network).
- Checked word for word - on 14 September 2026 all 6,236 verses were compared letter by letter with the current Tanzil text and with Quran.com, and every English verse, including each short quotation on the site, with Talal Itani's published translation. They match. Where Quran.com spells a word differently from the Madinah mushaf, the reader shows the Tanzil spelling.
2 Hadith
The six collections on the Hadith pages - Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah - come in Arabic and English from the Hadith API by Fawaz Ahmed, which is released into the public domain.
- English translations - Sahih al-Bukhari by Muhsin Khan and Sahih Muslim by Abdul Hamid Siddiqui. The dataset does not record the translators of the other four collections.
- Gradings - shown word for word as the dataset records them, from Al-Albani, Zubair Ali Zai, Shuaib al-Arnaut, Ahmad Muhammad Shakir, Bashar Awad Maarouf, Muhammad Muhyi al-Din Abdul Hamid, Abu Ghuddah and Muhammad Fouad Abd al-Baqi. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim carry no grade on each narration: their authors included only what they judged authentic, so the collection is the grade.
- Checked word for word - on 14 September 2026 every narration on the site, Arabic and English, and every grading was compared with the Hadith API. They match exactly. The reader only breaks long narrations into paragraphs for easier reading; it never changes a word.
- Numbering - Sahih Muslim is cited by its standard (Abd al-Baqi) number, so a reference on this site matches the one you will find in print and on other sites.
3 Prayer times, dates and qibla
- Prayer times - the Aladhan prayer times service, using the calculation method you choose (Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura and others) and your Asr school.
- Hijri dates - the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your device, with the adjustment you set.
- Qibla - worked out on your own device from your location, with no outside service.
- Place names and place search - BigDataCloud and Open-Meteo.
- Adhan recording - recited by Aaqib Azeez and shared by Atcovi on Wikimedia Commons under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. We trimmed and levelled it, and share our version under the same license.
4 Zakat prices
Gold and silver spot prices come from gold-api.com, and currency conversion from Frankfurter, which publishes European Central Bank reference rates.
5 Lessons, stories and duas
The lessons, the stories of the prophets, the Seerah, the duas, the 99 Names and the glossary are written for Sunnah Daily. Each one cites the verse or hadith it rests on, right where it is used, so you can check it.
The stories and the Seerah also draw on the classical works of Islamic history and tafsir, cited where they are used: Ibn Hisham's As-Sirah an-Nabawiyyah, Ibn Kathir's Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah and his tafsir, Ibn Sa'd's At-Tabaqat al-Kubra, and Safiur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri's Ar-Rahiq al-Makhtum. The 99 Names follow the list narrated in Jami' at-Tirmidhi (3507).
Blog posts are personal reflections, written for Sunnah Daily and marked as such on every post.
