A Note of Gratitude
The availability of authentic Qur’anic data in open formats is the result of years of effort by scholars, translators, and developers.
Projects like Tanzil and others have made it possible for developers to build tools that help Muslims engage with the Qur’an in meaningful ways.
May Allah reward all those who contributed to making these resources available to the Ummah.
Project Philosophy
UmmatOne is a non-profit, ad-free, privacy-first project built with the intention of benefiting the Ummah.
The application:
• does not serve advertisements
• does not include behavioral trackers
• does not collect personal worship data
• stores most data locally on the user’s device
If this project benefits someone in strengthening their connection with the Qur’an and their daily acts of worship, we pray that Allah accepts it.
And if there are mistakes, they are from us.
May Allah forgive us and guide us to correct them.
