NURA · The app

Morning and evening adhkar, counted with care

Adhkar — أذكار الصباح والمساء — are the remembrances of morning and evening. NURA gives them a single, quiet card on the Now screen: the right set for the time of day, each remembrance laid out in full, and a counter that fills as you count. The rule behind it is simple and deliberate: worship content is never invented. Every line is fixed in the source, labelled with where it comes from, and frozen so it cannot be altered at runtime.

The right set at the right time

Adhkar as-sabah belong to the morning; adhkar al-masa to the afternoon and night. NURA picks the set by the clock — roughly 3:00 to 15:00 local is morning, everything else is evening — and you can override that with a two-way toggle. A card left open past mid-afternoon follows the time rather than freezing on the morning set. The manual choice you make holds for the day but does not carry across midnight, where the day's counts reset and the automatic pick resumes.

Every remembrance, in full

Each item is a complete row: the Arabic (voweled), a transliteration, the English meaning, a short note where one helps, and its source and target count. A round tap-counter sits beside it and fills as you count — toward three, toward a hundred — with a light haptic on each tap and a firmer one when the target is reached. The counter caps at its target and never wraps past it. Your progress survives leaving the screen and resets cleanly at the next day.

A small, correct starter set

NURA ships a deliberately small set: fewer items, each one authentic and universally known, is the rule. The morning and evening sets share a base, with one remembrance whose hadith names the evening added after sunset:

Scripture is referenced, not reprinted

Ayat al-Kursi, the Verse of the Throne, appears in the list as a reference only. NURA names it and cites Qur'an 2:255 and asks you to recite it from the Mushaf — it does not print the verse text. This is the same principle NURA applies to the Qur'an tracker: the app counts the path through worship, it does not stand in for the Book. The remembrances that are printed are short, well-known supplications rather than Qur'anic passages.

Verify with your own scholar

Every item carries its source so you can check it, and we encourage you to. Transliteration and English meanings are given in the plain, widely-agreed sense; for questions of pronunciation, method, or the finer points of when and how a dhikr is said, defer to a trusted scholar. NURA's job is to present authentic, attributed text and to count faithfully — not to issue rulings.

Built to be trusted

The content and the counting live in a pure module with no dependence on the screen or the network, exercised by NURA's automated test suite so the tallies and the day-boundary reset behave exactly as described. Each tap is also announced to assistive technology, so the card is usable with a screen reader. Everything is stored on your device; there is no account and no backend, and it works offline.
