Built for the quest
to understand.

The Quran returns to the same ideas — mercy, patience, gratitude, justice — across 114 surahs revealed over 23 years. Each recurrence deepens the last. We built QuranByVerses because we wanted a simple way to follow those threads: to search a word or a theme, see every verse that speaks to it, and let meaning emerge from the connections between them.

Search by meaning

Type any word, theme, or concept — mercy, patience, light, gratitude — and instantly see every verse that speaks to it across all 114 surahs. The Quran answers the same question in many places; now you can find them all at once.

Discover connections

Verses separated by decades of revelation often echo one another — sharing a word, deepening a theme, or answering a question posed elsewhere. QuranByVerses makes those threads visible.

Verse-by-verse study

Every ayah is presented with Arabic text, the Yusuf Ali translation, and phonetic transliteration side by side — so you can read, hear, and understand each verse fully before moving on.

Audio recitation

Every verse is paired with a high-quality audio recitation. Hearing the Quran recited is itself a form of remembrance — the app brings that within easy reach, wherever you are.

All English translations are from Abdullah Yusuf Ali's classical rendering of the Quran, first published in 1934. Widely respected for its literary quality and faithfulness to the Arabic, it remains one of the most accessible English translations for readers of all ages. Audio recitations are sourced from publicly available recordings of Quranic recitation.

A note on translation: the Quran is the Word of Allah, revealed in Arabic, and no translation can fully restore its words or encompass the depth of its meanings. Scholars nonetheless affirm the necessity of conveying its message to all people, in all languages — and translation remains the means by which that is possible.
