Thabat - Quran Hifz Review
What is Thabat?
Quran memorisation app that schedules short daily recall tests of memorised surahs and ayat, with recitation marking.
Thabat is an education app for keeping Quran memorisation (hifz) by testing recall rather than re-reading. Users mark the surahs, ajza', or pages they have memorised, and the app lays out a short daily review plan with repeat reviews timed before forgetting. Tests include continuing a verse, filling in blanks, and reciting aloud with each word marked.
Pricing. Thabat is free to download, with in-app purchases on the App Store.
Good for
- Reviewing surahs already memorised to avoid losing them

Description
Memorising is the easier half. Keeping it is the work of a lifetime.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, likened memorised Qur'an to a tethered camel: watch it and it stays, turn away and it is gone. Thabat is the tether - a short daily review that tests what you already carry, so that you keep carrying it.
WHY TESTING, NOT RE-READING
Read more
Pulling an ayah back from memory holds it more than twice as well as reading it again - for the very same minutes spent. It is also the older way. The Qur'an was carried by 'ard and mudarasah, recited back to someone who would catch you, never by reading in silence. Thabat is that someone on the days you cannot find one.
HOW IT WORKS
- Mark what you hold. Tap the surahs, ajza', or pages you have memorised.
- Open it tomorrow. Thabat lays out a short plan - today's stretch, with anything due or shaky pulled to the front. You never have to plan it yourself.
- Test yourself. Continue the verse. Fill in the blank. Spot the swapped word. Name the ayah that comes before. Reorder the words. Or recite aloud and have every word marked.
- It settles. Every ayah you recall comes back later, timed for just before you would have forgotten it.
RECITE ALOUD, MARKED WORD BY WORD
Recite from memory and Thabat marks each word you said, each one you missed, and each one you replaced. The recogniser is never told which ayah you are reciting - so it cannot quietly "hear" the words you meant to say. It hears what you actually said.
Your recording is graded and discarded in the same breath. It is never stored, never reviewed by a human, never used to train anything.
BUILT FOR THE MUTASHABIHAT
The similar passages are where hifz gives way - two ayat that run together for six words and then part. Thabat knows where they are, drills the exact pairs that catch you, and shows you the word where they split.
IT NEVER GUESSES AT THE QUR'AN
Every letter of Qur'an in this app comes from a verified mushaf text. Not one word of it is produced by a machine. Questions and hints are drafted with care and pass a scholar's review before they ever reach you.
WHAT THABAT IS NOT
It does not teach tajwid or qira'at, and it is no substitute for a teacher. It guards what you already carry - that is the whole of it.
IF STREAKS ARE NOT FOR YOU
Turn them off. Quiet mode gives you no counts and no celebration: only your portions, and a calm place to sit with them.
