Rifq: Daily Arabic Wisdom

The app is in Arabic only. Verses and hadith are printed fully vowelled.

Rifq is a few lines a day about character and how you carry yourself: patience under hardship, gentleness toward people, pardon, guarding the tongue, humility, gratitude, truthfulness, fairness, and doing your work well. A verse, an authenticated hadith, or a classical Arabic proverb. No list to finish, no streak to break, no counter blaming you for the day you missed.

■ You choose what you read about
Pick the subjects that concern you, out of twelve; what arrives in them is a verse, a hadith or a proverb of the Arabs. Your run is your own. No line is shown to you twice, and nothing carries a date.

■ Three lines a day
They arrive each morning on a page that holds nothing else, set in Arabic type, and one drag of a finger turns them. The line and where it comes from, with no commentary under it.

■ On your screen, not in an app you open
A home screen widget and a lock screen widget, and a daily reminder at an hour you choose, carrying the whole line rather than a note asking you to come back.

■ Send it to someone
A card that stands on a place you pick: cloud, rainbow, dunes, mountains, sea, waterfall. Send it into a conversation as it is.

■ More than a third of the library is Arabic proverbs
No proverb attributed to the wrong people. Every hadith is printed with its grading, sahih or hasan. Nothing ships until it has been checked character for character against the source it was taken from.

■ No account, no server
No sign-in, no connection needed to read, and what you read and what you keep never leave your device.

■ Free, and the subscription opens two things
The day's three lines, the widget, the reminder and the card are free, with no account. The subscription opens two gestures only: keeping a line and coming back to it, and reading back through your own run. Monthly or yearly with a free trial from Apple, or a single purchase that never renews. The renewal, price and cancellation terms are written out in full under the buy button inside the app.
