Manarah: Khutbah Translator

Follow the Friday khutbah in your language, as the khateeb speaks.

Manarah turns nearby speech into a readable transcript and live translation on your phone. Whether you attend Jummah locally or visit a masjid where the sermon is in another language, choose your reading language, tap Start listening and follow along. No account or mosque equipment is required.

LIVE KHUTBAH TRANSLATION
Read the sermon as text while it is spoken. The speaker's language is detected automatically. You can also choose the main sermon language to guide recognition. Live listening needs an internet connection and clear audio.

CHOOSE YOUR READING LANGUAGE
Choose from 15 reading languages: English, Urdu, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Somali, Bengali, Hindi, German, Spanish, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Persian. The app interface and illustrative preview are in English.

A QUIET, READABLE EXPERIENCE
Adjust the text size and choose a light or dim appearance. Pause and resume listening from the reader. Try the clearly labeled illustrative preview before using the microphone, and set an optional Friday reminder.

SOURCES FOR RECOGNIZED QUR'AN
Recognized Qur'an passages show surah and ayah references and available scholarly renderings with the translator named. Machine translation is withheld for matched and possible Qur'an passages. Hadith references appear where recognized. Unclear audio and uncertain text are marked.

RETURN TO YOUR KHUTBAH
Save recordings with their transcripts to revisit after Jumu'ah. Play, pause and seek through saved audio; read, search and export the transcript.

YOU CONTROL LISTENING
The microphone captures a session only when you start listening. Pause and End stop capture. Temporary audio may be saved on your device and uploaded to recover a connection loss. An optional correction pass can retain processing audio until it finishes and is off by default. Processing audio is then deleted.

When recording storage is available, audio and transcripts are saved locally and uploaded privately. Server copies expire 1 year after upload. Removing an item from the device keeps its server copy until expiry. Delete everything in Settings removes both. Separate recovery transcripts last up to 24 hours. There are no ads.

PRIVATE FEEDBACK
After recordings longer than five minutes, optionally send the Manarah team a private star rating and comment.
