al-Baghawi, Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari — original text, three books for one verse
Three classical commentaries — al-Baghawi's «Ma'alimut-tanzil», Ibn Kathir's «Tafsirul Qur'onil azim», and al-Tabari's «Jomi'ul-bayon» — in the original Arabic text, verse by verse. Qur'an quotations, hadiths (with their grading), narrators, and the author's own markers within the text are automatically highlighted. Tafsir translation is generated by AI only when you request it, paragraph by paragraph — with a warning and teacher review. Download the surahs once, then read them offline.

More detailsAll three books were taken from digital editions in the OpenITI open corpus (Shamela copies); the edition is specified on the book card. Each surah package is verified against a checksum using a signed list on the server. The tafsir text is never written from memory, a search engine, or artificial intelligence.
No. What is translated here is the exegete’s own commentary (the tafsir text). Translations of the verses are taken from the verified translations in the Davra Qur’an section, while the hadiths within the tafsir are shown with human translations from the Davra Hadith database. AI does not alter them.
AI translation is a draft to help with understanding, not a scholarly source; therefore, it is always shown alongside the original Arabic text and marked «AI translation». Frequently requested passages are added to the teacher’s queue; once a teacher approves one, it receives the «verified» label. If you notice an error, report it via «I found an error».
The app does not issue rulings of its own. The author’s own words («weak», «gharib», «munkar», «from the Isra’iliyyat») are highlighted in the text with colored labels; if a hadith is found in the Davra Hadith database, its grading is shown with a separate seal. The remaining assessment is left to the reader and the teacher.
Yes. Surahs are downloaded as packages—the surah you open is downloaded automatically, and you can also download the entire book. The size is shown on the book card (long surahs are up to 1 MB). Downloaded text, bookmarks, plans, and reading progress work offline; only a new AI translation request requires an internet connection.
Interface, book titles, and explanations in 18 languages. The tafsir text itself is in Arabic; its translation is done paragraph by paragraph into the language you request and stored in the community cache — once a paragraph has been translated into a language, it becomes instantly available to subsequent readers.
