Narrated versions of Sakeenah's lessons, hadith explanations, duas and stories, so that people can learn while they travel, work or rest — and so that those who cannot read easily are not left out.
Many people learn best by listening, and many cannot read comfortably. Sakeenah Audio will add a listen button to our lessons, hadith explanations, duas and stories, in all three of our languages.
Narration will come from two places: volunteers who record in their own voice, and carefully reviewed AI voices for the large amount of written material we publish every day. AI narration will always be labelled as such, and it will never be used to recite the Qur'an — Qur'an recitation will always be by human reciters.
What you will be able to listen to
The explanation and lessons of each day's passage.
The hadith of the day and its meaning.
Morning and evening remembrance, with the Arabic and its meaning.
The stories of the prophets and companions, for adults and children.
New episodes in your favourite podcast app.
