المزايا
Everything is designed around one aim: that you keep learning, lesson after lesson.
No endless list of recordings. Lessons are arranged by science, book and chapter, so every lesson has its place.
Play lessons while you travel or work, adjust the speed, skip back fifteen seconds and move straight to the next lesson.
Your place in every lesson is saved, along with how far you are through each book — on the web and in the app.
Download lessons in the Mawārid app and listen with no connection. Your progress syncs when you are back online.
Each teacher has a page with their biography, the books they teach and all of their lessons — kept for those who come after.
Use Mawārid in English, Arabic, Afaan Oromo, Amharic or Somali. Lessons show the language they are taught in.
