Ask Noor

An assistant for the questions you would otherwise have to know where to look for — and one that never asks you to take its word.

See what it does before you install it

This is a real answer in the app's own format: the response, then the references it was drawn from. The citation is the point. An Islamic assistant that cannot tell you where an answer came from is asking for a trust it has not earned.

How it works

Four steps, and none of them is guesswork

01

You ask, in your own words

No keywords, no boolean operators, no guessing which surah it might be in. Ask in English, Urdu, Arabic or any of the seven languages the app speaks.

02

It searches the sources, not the web

The question is matched against a curated corpus — the Qur’an with its translations, tafsir, and the hadith collections in the app. Nothing from an open crawl of the internet enters the answer.

03

It answers from what it found

The passages that actually matched are what the answer is written from. If nothing relevant comes back, Noor says so rather than filling the gap with something plausible.

04

It shows its working

Every answer ends with the references it used — surah and ayah, or collection and number — so you can open them yourself and decide.

Try asking

The kind of question it is for

Ordinary questions, asked the way you would ask a person.

What are the conditions for combining prayers when travelling?
Which duas are sunnah before sleeping?
What does the Qur’an say about parents?
Explain the meaning of Surah al-Asr.
Is there a hadith about smiling being charity?
What breaks the fast and what does not?

What Noor is not

Noor is a reading and reference tool. It is not a mufti, and an answer from it is not a fatwa. For a ruling that affects how you worship, how you earn, or how you treat someone — ask a qualified scholar who knows your situation.

It can be wrong. It can miss context that a scholar would catch immediately. That is exactly why every answer shows its sources: so that checking it is one tap away rather than an act of faith.
