All updates →Read books in your own language
Books are starting to appear in other languages - first Dutch and Urdu, with French on the way and more languages to follow. Choose your language with the globe at the top; on your first visit, books open in your browser’s language. Translations are made automatically and say so at the top of every chapter: “Show original” puts the English next to each paragraph, and “Read the original” opens the English chapter. Urdu is shown right to left, in Nastaliq script. Spotted a mistake? Let us know with “Send feedback” at the bottom of the page.
Reading plans: catch up when you fall behind
Fallen behind on a reading plan? Under Your reading (and on the book’s page) you can now spread the chapters you haven’t read yet evenly over the days left, or give the plan a few more days. Your plan’s progress now also shows on the book’s page, and a plan only counts as behind once a day has passed - today’s chapters are never “late”.
Listen to a chapter
Chapters can now be read aloud: press “Listen” at the top of a chapter. The sentence being read is highlighted and stays in view; pause, skip a paragraph back or forward, and choose the speed and voice (your device’s own voices). Arabic is never read by a computer voice - Quran verses are played as a recitation by Mishary Alafasy. Listening to the end saves the chapter as read, and the player can go on to the next chapter by itself.
