About Quran Transliteration
Dedicated to delivering authentic Arabic text, precise English transliteration, word-by-word audio synchronization, and comprehensive Islamic learning tools — free, ad-free and available offline.
Who We Are
Who We Are / About Us
Quran Transliteration is an open-access, non-commercial digital education initiative engineered to remove linguistic barriers between non-Arabic speaking Muslims and the Holy Qur'an. It reproduces the Qur'anic text and established translations from documented published sources, paired with recitation from ten well-known Qaris, and is built and maintained by its own small team.
We believe every believer and seeker of knowledge should have effortless, high-precision access to the divine speech of Allah (SWT), regardless of their geographic location, language background, or level of Arabic literacy.
Documented Sources
Every text is reproduced from a named published edition — Uthmani script, Saheeh International, Maududi, Ibn Kathir — each listed with its provenance on our editorial standards page.
Technological Innovation
Word-level timing data highlights each word as it is recited, across ten reciters, so you can follow the Arabic while you listen.
Purity & Zero Ads
We maintain absolute sanctity over sacred scriptures. No commercial advertisements appear over Quranic text.
Universal Access
Free, works on any modern browser, installs as an app, reads offline, and ships downloadable PDFs of every surah.
Our Story
Story / History of Quran Transliteration
Founded in 2021 by a dedicated coalition of software developers and Quranic studies researchers in New York, Quran Transliteration began as a simple internal tool to assist new Muslims and non-Arabic native students learning to recite Surah Al-Fatiha and short surahs for daily Salah.
Recognizing that existing online transliteration sites were often cluttered with ad banners, inaccurate diacritics, and out-of-sync audio files, our founders set out to build a modern digital platform adhering to the highest web performance and Tajweed standards.
Project Launch
Initial release of 30 Juz Surahs with ISO-233 transliteration and Mishary Rashid Alafasy audio integration.
Word-by-Word Sync & Free PDFs
Added word-level audio highlighting driven by per-word timing data, and published print-ready PDF downloads for all 114 Surahs.
Islamic Utilities Ecosystem
Expanded into interactive Islamic tools including Prayer Times, 3D Qibla Compass, Digital Tasbih, and Islamic Terms Dictionary.
Offline Reading & Open Sourcing of Data
Moved the full 6,236-ayah corpus in-repo so the reader works with no connection, and published our sources and known limitations in full.

How This Site Is Built
What we actually do, and what we don't
What we can stand behind
The Arabic text, translations and tafsir on this site are reproduced from established published editions rather than authored by us — the Uthmani and Indo-Pak script from Quran.com, Saheeh International for English, Maududi for Urdu, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir. Recitation audio and its word-level timing data come from Quran.com's API. We store the text offline so the reader works without a connection, and we serve it with no advertisements and no third-party trackers of any kind.
What we do not claim: there is no scholarly review board, no Tajweed certification process, and no in-house audit of the Arabic script. The verse transliteration is a third-party edition with known limitations. Our editorial standards page lists every source, states what is and is not reviewed, and explains how to report an error.
