For reciters
Be heard on a platform built by Muslims, for Muslims
Ayaat is a listening platform for Quran and for the people who recite it. Every recitation on it comes from a verified reciter, and most of them recorded, edited and published it from the phone in their hand.
The studio
Everything between the take and the upload
Record straight into the app
Hold the phone, open Ayaat, recite. Pause and come back to it, retake a passage, or rewind to any point and re-record from there without losing the take. Drafts save as you go.
- Pause and resume mid-surah
- Retake from any point in the take
- Drafts wait for you between sittings
- Or upload MP3, M4A, WAV or a Voice Memo
Trim it, then give the voice a room
Select on the waveform to trim the ends or cut a stumble from the middle. Then shape the sound: reverb from a small studio to a cathedral, warmth, clarity and air tuned for the human voice, and a gate for the room hum.
- Waveform trimming and cuts
- Reverb: studio, room, hall, cathedral
- Warmth, clarity and air
- Noise reduction, fades, pause tightening
- Ayaat and Masjid presets in one tap
Publish it with the ayah range attached
Name the surah and the exact ayah range, pick the riwayah, and send it. Ayaat masters the take to a consistent loudness on the way out, so your recitation sits at the same level as everything else on the platform.
- Surah, ayah start and ayah end
- Riwayah and tags
- Mastered to a consistent loudness
- Reviewed before it goes live
Already on YouTube? Bring it over
Connect your channel and your recitations are listed, videos and shorts. Pick the ones you want, confirm they are yours, tag the surah and ayah range, and they publish to your Ayaat profile.
- Your channel, listed in the app
- Select several in one pass
- Same surah, ayah range and riwayah fields
- You confirm the rights before anything publishes
After you publish
Your voice, matched to the verse
Ayaat aligns your recitation to the text of the Quran, word by word. Listeners can read along with your voice, in Arabic and in their own language, and land on the exact word you are on. Every timing is generated from your own audio, so the highlight keeps your pace.
- Every word highlighted as you recite it
- Twenty translations to read alongside
- Listeners switch between Listen and Follow Along
- Built from your audio, so it matches your pace exactly
Three ways in
Which of these is you?
Every application is reviewed by a human. Pick the one that describes you best. Applying under the wrong pathway is not fatal, it just slows the review down.
Masjid or Islamic centre
You manage or represent a masjid, Islamic centre, or religious institution, and you want your imams and scholars heard beyond the building.
What you get
- One institutional account that manages every reciter under it
- A page for each imam and sheikh, even without their own Ayaat account
- Your masjid name alongside every upload
- Priority in the content review queue
What to have ready
- Masjid name and physical address
- Contact email and phone number
- City and country
- Website link, optional
- Photos of the masjid or the reciters, optional and helpful
Institutional applications are judged on legitimacy, not on audience.

What happens after you apply
- 01
Apply
Pick your pathway and fill in the application. It saves as you go, so you can come back to it.
- 02
A human reads it
A human reads every application in full. Two to five business days.
- 03
You hear back either way
Approved or not, the decision arrives by email. A rejection carries the reason, and you are welcome to reapply once it is addressed.
- 04
Publish
Your first upload goes into the content queue. After that, your profile is live and listeners can follow you.
Before you apply
Is verification guaranteed?
No. It is selective, particularly for the established reciter and hafiz pathways. Each application is read individually, weighing the recitation itself, the documentation, and whether the content fits the platform.
How long does the review take?
Two to five business days. The decision comes by email. A rejection tells you why, and you can reapply once you have addressed it.
Can I apply if nobody knows me online?
Yes, and the Hafiz pathway exists for exactly that. No following is required. The recitation carries the application.
Can a masjid manage reciters who are not on Ayaat?
Yes. A verified masjid account can create a page for each imam and scholar without them holding their own account, and every upload stays associated with the masjid.
I am a hafiz with a following. Which pathway?
Apply as a hafiz. Your audience is a bonus there, while the recitation and any Ijazah carry the most weight. Mention the audience in the notes field.
Can verification be revoked?
Yes, if community standards are violated, if content turns out to be misattributed, or if recitation quality falls below what the Terms of Service set out.
Do I need recording equipment?
No. The studio is built for a phone held in a quiet room. Reverb, noise reduction and mastering are there to make that sound like a room worth listening in.
