Description
Thaqafa surfaces a verified historical event from Islamic history every day, in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars. Every entry is hand-vetted against the classical Sunni sources (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, the Six Books) and carries its citations openly so you can verify what you read.
A daily ritual, not a feed. The app shows today's event — no infinite scroll, no algorithmic noise, no ads. Read it once a day, set a quiet reminder for whatever hour suits you, and let the calendar bring you back tomorrow.
Features:
• One curated event per day (Hijri + Gregorian dates)
• Trilingual content (English, French, Arabic)
• Hadith citations verified on sunnah.com; Qur'anic references on quran.com
• Disputed dates surfaced openly with the alternative classical positions
• Bookmark events to revisit
• Optional daily reminder at the hour of your choice
• Home-screen widget — today's event at a glance
• No tracking, no ads, no profiling
Editorial bar: only events confirmed by the classical Sunni sources. Only ṣaḥīḥ hadith.

What's new (v1.0.1)
• New reading-size setting (S / M / L / XL) in Settings — or
pinch with two fingers anywhere in the app to zoom.
• Pick your reading size during the welcome flow, with a live
preview of the actual reading text.
• Body text is larger by default for more comfortable
long-form reading.
• Slide from the screen edge to go back — works in all three
scripts, including right-to-left in Arabic.
• Today is now a permanent tab in the bottom navigation —
one tap to today's reading from anywhere.
Notifications
• Daily reminders now respect your device's local timezone.
Notifications that previously arrived hours late now land
exactly when you set them.
• Just one notification per day — the duplicate "open the
app" reminder has been removed.
• Daily notifications are off by default. A small choice,
on your terms.
• New "Send a test notification" button in Settings — verify
in five seconds that alerts come through.
• Clearer warning when iOS itself has notifications blocked,
with a one-tap shortcut to system settings.
