What's new
in Joyful Muslims.
A running list of what's changed, what's better, and what's just arrived. Each entry below corresponds to an App Store release. The newest is at the top.
A quieter launch — the polish you feel before you can name it.
v1.5 is mostly the kind of work that doesn't announce itself: things that used to interrupt you don't anymore. Sign-in holds between launches. The Library opens straight to your books. A cinematic splash sets the tone before each session. Small mercies, in service of the listening.
Sign in once, stay signed in
Refresh-token flow + cached profile means your account survives launches and updates. No more unexpected sign-outs mid-week.
Library opens to your books
The Books tab now lands on your active library instead of the Next Release rail — faster to your current chapter.
A cinematic splash
A redesigned opening sequence before each session — calmer onboarding, a softer transition into reading.
Apple Watch + widgets
Apple Watch app for the prayer room and the gym, Daily Verse on your home screen, and a Now Playing widget so you remember where you left off.
Per-book sharing with previews
Share any book to X / iMessage / Threads with a proper preview card and a one-tap install for recipients without the app.
In-app notification bell
A pulsing teal dot for new arrivals, red for ones you genuinely shouldn't miss — including the weekly Vault drop every Jumuʿah.
The library opens.
The first public release. The Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn of Imām al-Ghazālī, Stories of the Prophets, the Sealed Nectar — narrated chapter by chapter, free for the Ummah. The AI Scholar trained on the classical canon. The Vault for weekly Jumuʿah drops.
The classical library
Translated from the original Arabic, narrated, released free — volume by volume. The Iḥyāʾ first.
AI Scholar
Trained on the classical canon only. Won't guess, won't invent ḥadīth. Shows you which scholar said what, and where.
The Vault
Every Friday before fajr, a new book quietly arrives. Premium listeners hear it days before the standard library catches up.
Streaks + journey
A gentle daily nudge to keep walking. Wisdom Score that climbs as you complete chapters.
