Before you start

  • Durra is for adults learning and revising the Quran. For children, see Durra Kids.
  • You need an iPhone or iPad on iOS 16.4 or later. There is no Android app.
  • No account is needed to start. The app is free and has no ads.
  • The first launch needs an internet connection to download the Quran text. After that, revision works offline. Listening to recitation needs a connection.

Platforms

Install and set up on iPhone

  1. Install Durra: Quran Hifz from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/durra-quran-hifz/id6780221866
  2. Open the app. It downloads the Quran text once ("Opening Durra").
  3. Answer "What brings you here?". The choices are: I want to learn something new; I learned before and want to remember it; I want to keep a few chapters fresh.
  4. Choose a passage (a chapter, or your own start and end verse), how well you know it, how many minutes a practice day you have, and how many days a week. A target finish date is optional.
  5. Check the plan preview and tap Save plan and start practising (or Save my plan).
  6. Expected result: the Today tab shows your next practice. If your plan has new verses, your first lesson opens: tap Play to hear the verse recited by Mishary Alafasy, repeat it, then try it from memory.

Already have an account? Tap I already have an account during setup and sign in with your email (see Account, privacy and support).

Add what you have already memorised

  1. Open the My Quran tab.
  2. Choose Add verses you already know, pick a chapter or section you can already recite, or add a single verse.
  3. Expected result: the verses appear in Your practice list and come back for review on Today.

Common errors

  • "No connection yet." on first launch: connect to the internet and tap Try again. The Quran text is downloaded once, then kept on the phone.
  • "Choose a passage that starts before it ends." or "Enter a verse number that exists in the selected chapter.": fix the start and end verse.
  • "Enter a date as YYYY-MM-DD or leave it blank.": the target date is optional; clear it or use that format.
  • "Your chosen date would need a faster pace.": choose a later date, a shorter passage or more minutes. Durra keeps sessions within the time you chose.
  • "Audio needs an internet connection. Try again when you are online.": recitation audio streams; revision without audio works offline.

Confirm it worked

The Today tab shows your plan and what to practise next, and the My Quran tab lists the verses you added.
