- 📦AlKetab - Smart Quran Tutor updated to version 6.8# New Reciters, Word by Word — Follow Every Word the Reciter Says
The reciter list now holds more than 150 recitations.
While a surah plays, the word the reciter is saying is underlined in the mushaf, and the player shows the ayah as printed in the mushaf, as large as the screen allows.
# Test My Hifz — Flashcards From What You've Memorized
In your Hifz Journey: cards of up to three ayahs from what you've memorized.
Recite each from memory and its words appear as you go.
Fewer words show as you advance until none are left, then the word is prompted if you pause.
The bar fills until you've recited everything you've memorized. The previous button is now Review My Hifz.
# Library Bookshelves — Your Books on Real Shelves
Every section of the Islamic Library is now a shelf of books.
Tap a book and it comes off the shelf with its details.
In My Books, your books line up in front of you, with a glimpse of the page you stopped at.
# Reading Improvements — Flexible Modern & Khatma Bar
When you enlarge the text in Flexible Modern, the lines now reach from edge to edge, like the printed mushaf.
And your daily Khatma progress bar stays visible while tracking your recitation, instead of disappearing.

When a book cites an ayah, tap its reference to read it and open it in the Mushaf.
# A Better Quran Prompter — Choose a Surah for Your Prayer
A new listening circle pulses with your voice, the words it hears float up behind it, and it names the surah and ayah once it finds your place.
Tap Choose Surah to pick what you will recite in prayer: its page stays in front of you between rak'ahs, reciting Al-Fatihah doesn't move it, and when you finish, the next surah comes up.

# Apple CarPlay — AlKetab in Your Car
Listen to the Quran on your car's screen: pick up where you left off, open your favorites, bookmarks and downloaded surahs, browse every surah, and switch reciters.
Speed and repeat are on the Now Playing screen, and one surah flows into the next as you drive.
# Recitation Video — New Shapes & Backgrounds
Share ayahs as a portrait, landscape or square video — on the classic card or over one of 13 moving backgrounds.
The words now keep pace with the reciter.
# Hizb Mark Glow — Every Quarter Stands Out
A soft green light now shines behind every quarter star (۞) in the mushaf, in place of the old green line.
Turn on Colored vowels and marks in Appearance Settings and the star itself turns green too.
