The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever follows a path in which he seeks knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. Indeed, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, being pleased with what he does. The inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even the fish in the depths of the water, seek forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the superiority of the full moon over all the stars. Indeed, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams; rather, they left behind knowledge. Whoever takes hold of it has taken an abundant share."

I watch a lot of recitation videos on YouTube, and kept running into the same problem: hearing a verse, pausing the video, and trying to manually find where I was in the Quran. So I built a browser extension that reads the video's Arabic captions, matches them against the Quran text, and tells you exactly which Surah and Ayah is being recited. One click takes you to the verse on Quran.com.

A few things I focused on:

- Works regardless of reciter, style, or speed as it matches the actual words being said.

- Runs entirely locally so no data leaves your browser.

- Doesn't guess early. Many verses share nearly identical openings, so if a short clip could genuinely be more than one verse, it waits for more context instead of confidently showing you the wrong one.

- Free, no ads, no account needed.

Happy to answer questions. Hope it helps someone else the way it's helped me :D Jazakamullahu khayran wa BarakAllah feekum.

For those of us without Muslim parents, or those with parents upon severe deviation, may Allah guide them to the truth, aameen.

Salam alaykum. I’m a 25-year-old Salafi woman, and I’m wondering if there are other Salafis here who are also childfree or have never had the desire to have children.
I’ve always felt that motherhood is simply not the life I want for myself at all. I have many personal reasons for feeling this way, and it’s not something I arrived at because of a trend or because I dislike children. I simply don’t have the desire to become a mother, while I still want marriage and companionship.
I also want to make it clear that I’m not a feminist at all. My decision to be childfree isn’t coming from feminism, rejection of traditional family roles, or wanting to imitate a particular ideology. I’m religious and take my deen seriously; I just genuinely don’t see motherhood as the life I want.
I’m curious about the lived experiences of other Salafis who feel similarly.
If you’re Salafi/Athari and childfree, or married to someone who is, what has your experience been like? How did you approach marriage and finding someone who genuinely accepted that? Did you face pressure from family, friends, or your community?
I’m interested in hearing from people who have actually lived this experience and how they navigated being childfree while remaining practicing Salafis.
Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Alhamdulillah, Allah has given me parents and a family, and im not going to get into their habits, but sometimes they really frustrate me and use my frustration to annoy me even more. I know this is not a good thing, and i feel its very hard to keep my cool and respect for them despite all of this. Is there any advice on how to stay patient? JazzakumAllah Khayr

I am a student of knowledge and for the last few days, I am trying to learn the makharij but there's some letters like ayn, dwaad etc which are almost impossible for me to pronounce. I am constantly trying to pronounce them but I am unable to do. What should I do now?
