Read together

Read the Qur'an together. Nobody keeps score.

Start a read in Niyat and send one link. Your family takes a part each. Together you finish the whole Qur'an, and no one sees anybody's numbers.

How it works

Three steps. The whole thing takes a minute to set up.

One

Start a read

Open Niyat and start a read. The Qur'an is laid out in thirty parts.

Two

Send the link

Send one link to your family, your friends or your group. Only the people you send it to can get in.

Three

Everyone takes a part

Each person picks a part and reads it. When the thirty parts are done, your read is finished.

What your family sees

One screen holds the thirty parts. It shows first names and nothing else.

Our house19 of 30 parts read
Done Yours Taken Free

The number belongs to the house, never to a person. You can hand a part back at any time and somebody else picks it up.

They see

  • Your first name.
  • The part you took.
  • Whether your part is done.

They never see

  • Your prayers.
  • Your fasts.
  • Your streaks and your pages.
  • The time you read.
  • Where you are.

The only message is a dua. You pick a person and one of a few written duas, and it arrives as itself: Yusuf made dua for you. One person a day.

Niyat never ranks worship.

Your family sees that you are there. They never see your numbers.

The seven rules

These do not change.

  1. Niyat never ranks worship.There is no leaderboard, not even one that shows only your family.
  2. Your family sees your name and your part.Your first name, the part you took, and whether it is done.
  3. It never sees your prayers or your fasts.Not your streaks, not your pages, not the time you read.
  4. You join only by a link.Someone you know sends it. There are no strangers here.
  5. There is no feed and no chat.You can send a written dua, one person a day. That is the only message.
  6. Nothing turns red.A quiet part stays quiet. Nobody is marked missed or late.
  7. You can leave at any time.Leaving is quiet. Nobody is told, and nobody loses anything.

Questions

Does my mother need the app?

No. She opens the link in her browser, signs in once with her email, and reads her part there. She does not have to install anything.

Is there a leaderboard?

No, and there never will be. Niyat does not rank worship. Nobody sees how many pages you read or how fast you read them.

Can strangers join my read?

No. The only way in is a link that someone already in the read sends you. There is no search, no code to guess and no public list.
