    Aqala live translation with LIVE badge

    Translation that keeps up.

    Aqala doesn't wait for a pause. It listens while the khutbah is still going - Arabic, English, a mix of both - and switches when the speaker switches. You read along as it lands, not thirty seconds later when the moment's already passed.

    Name and save a translation session

    Name it. Save it. Come back to it.

    Finished a session? Give it a name - "Friday khutbah," "Tarawih night 3," whatever helps you find it later. Your translations stay with you. No digging through a chat history or a generic transcript file.

    Summary and Q&A on a khutbah

    The lecture ended. The questions didn't.

    Aqala pulls together a summary of what you just heard - the main themes, the key points - and lets you ask follow-up questions. What was the imam getting at? Can you explain that hadith reference? Ask in plain language.

    Tap to detect surah

    Hear a recitation. Know exactly where you are.

    Play Qur'an audio and tap once. Aqala identifies the surah and verse - then takes you there. Useful at home, useful when you're trying to follow along and the reciter moves faster than you can place the ayah.

    Read the Quran with translation

    Qur'an reader.

    Read at your own pace. Arabic script, transliteration, and a translation you can actually trust - with tafsir and links to Quran.com when you want to go deeper.

    Prayer times and daily essentials

    You already have enough apps.

    You don't need another one just for prayer times. Accurate salah times for where you are, a Qibla compass that actually works - the daily essentials live in the same app, so you're not juggling five different tools just to stay on track.

Google Translate wasn't built for this.

Generic translation apps are fine for a menu or a sign. They're not fine for a live khutbah. They lag. They lose context. They don't know what to do when the imam switches from Arabic to English halfway through - which happens, regularly, in mosques around the world.

Aqala

Built in

Built because we needed it.

We built Aqala because we needed it ourselves - not because we spotted a market gap on a whiteboard. Understanding the Qur'an and what your imam is saying shouldn't feel out of reach. No ads interrupting your khutbah. Just the app, doing what it's supposed to do.
