Qur'an and hadith with their source
With Allah's words, we don't guess.
When the app recognises a Qur'an verse, it doesn't show the AI's translation but a fixed, well-known one – with surah, verse and translator. Even when the imam recites the verse in short pieces.
When the app recognises a hadith quote, you see the book and number. Tap “Source” to open the original Arabic text. If a hadith isn't recognised for certain, it shows no source rather than a wrong one.
Surah al-Anfal · 8:2 Qur'an
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely -
Translation of the meanings: Saheeh International
Sahih al-Bukhari 52 Hadith
أَلاَ وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، أَلاَ وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
Indeed, in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart.

Waitlist
Be there when it starts.
Adrabic is still being built. Join the list: we'll write to you as soon as the finished version is ready – and when you can test it before that.
Thank you, you're on the list.
We'll be in touch as soon as there is news. Until then, you can watch the example.
Good to know.

Can I try it already?
The example, any time – a real khutbah, as the app shows it. Live translation is for testers with a code right now. Join the list and we'll be in touch.
May I read the translation on my phone during the khutbah?
On exactly this question – an app that translates the khutbah, for someone who does not understand Arabic – Shaykh ʿAbd ar-Rahman al-Barrak said: “There is nothing wrong with that, and this does not come under the heading of fidgeting that is prohibited, because it is done for a need, and not by way of messing about.” (IslamQA, question 233591). That’s why Adrabic is built this way: start it once before the khutbah, put the phone down, don’t touch it – the screen stays on. Anything else on the phone during the khutbah is a different matter. If in doubt, ask a scholar you trust.
What does Adrabic cost?
Joining costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We haven't decided the price of the finished app yet. What's certain: no ads and no hidden costs. People on the waitlist hear it first.
How accurate is the translation?
Good, but not flawless: the khutbah is translated automatically, by an AI. That is always an approximation. That's why Qur'an verses never come from the AI but from Saheeh International (in German: Bubenheim & Elyas). For hadith you see the book, number and the Arabic text, so you can check it yourself. The Arabic original always comes first.
Has a scholar checked the translation?
No. The khutbah is translated live and automatically; nobody checks it beforehand. Only the fixed Qur'an translations and the hadith collections the sources come from are checked works. If something seems wrong to you, ask a scholar – and do tell us.
Which khutbahs work?
Khutbahs in Arabic, and khutbahs in German with Arabic quotes. You can read along in English or German.
What do I need?
A phone with an up-to-date browser (Safari or Chrome) and internet. Nothing to install. In the mosque your phone listens to the loudspeaker – the clearer the imam sounds, the better the translation.
What happens to the audio?
We don't keep recordings. The audio goes to speech recognition (Soniox), the Arabic text to translation (Anthropic). Your history stays only on your phone.
