Free Daily Quran Verse Widget: What You Get for Free

Most people who search for a free daily Quran verse widget want two things: a reminder they'll actually see, and no surprise costs. The good news is that a free option exists. The useful question is whether it covers what you need.

What the free widget gives you

Ayanur's free plan includes one widget on your home screen. It uses the Sunset style and shows one short ayah at a time. Each ayah appears with the Arabic text, the translation in the language you chose, and the surah name and ayah number.

The ayah changes once a day. You don't need to open the app for that to happen, and the widget keeps working without an internet connection. Here is an example of the kind of short ayah the app shows:

فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٥﴾ إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ﴿٦﴾

⁵ For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief]. ⁶ Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

Translations are free in every language the app offers, including English, Turkish, Indonesian, Urdu, Persian, French, German, Malay, Bengali and Russian. The app itself is available in 11 languages, and it has no ads and no account to create.

What Pro adds

The free plan has clear limits, and it's better to know them before you start. Here is what Ayanur Pro adds:

• The ayah changes every hour or three times a day, instead of once.
• All five widget styles: Sunset, Emerald, Parchment, Typographic and Night.
• Lock screen widgets, rectangular and inline. Only short ayat appear there.
• Large text size, along with small and medium.

Pro is a subscription, available weekly or yearly. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Prices differ by country and can change, so check the amount in the app before you buy.

Who the free plan suits

The free plan works well if you want one calm reminder per day and don't need the lock screen. Many people set it up once and forget about it, which is the point. If you like seeing a different verse several times a day, or you want the lock screen, Pro is the option that matches that.

Who should consider Pro

Pro suits people who check their phone often and want a new ayah each time they pick it up. It also suits anyone who wants large text for easier reading, or a style that matches their home screen better. You can see every style in the app's live preview before you decide.

How to add the widget on iPhone

Setting up the free widget takes about a minute:

1. Install Ayanur, open it once, then pick your translation language and the Sunset style.
2. Touch and hold an empty area of your home screen until the apps start to move.
3. Tap Edit (or the + button) at the top, search for Ayanur, and choose a size.
4. Tap Add Widget, then Done.

The app works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. There is no Android version.

Which plan should you choose?

Start with the free plan. It gives you a real daily ayah on your home screen at no cost, and you can judge the widget by using it. If you find yourself wanting more frequent changes, the lock screen or other styles, you can move to Pro at any time.

If you want to see how a daily ayah fits into your routine, the ayah of the day widget guide explains how daily changes work. For a wider look at widget setup, read Quran verse widget for iPhone. If you're interested in a particular type of dua, the Rabbana duas post collects short prayers that suit a widget. Ayanur's list includes some of them, such as this one:

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ﴿٢٠١﴾

But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

Questions people ask

Is the free plan enough for daily use?

For many people, yes. One widget that changes once a day gives you a steady reminder without any effort. If you want changes throughout the day or the lock screen, you'll need Pro.

Can I change the language later?

You can pick any of the 10 translation languages, and all of them are free. Your choice is part of the app's settings.

Does the widget work without the app being open?

Yes. The ayat for the coming period are prepared in advance, so the widget changes on schedule without internet and without opening Ayanur.
