A complete history of releases — every major feature, expansion and refinement across 11 versions.

Al Islam — Version 4.3

Discovery 🔍

📅 Release Date: June 27, 2026

Version 4.3 is one of the most comprehensive and content-rich releases in Al Islam's history — introducing a completely reimagined search experience, the largest single content expansion to date, and sweeping UI redesigns across nearly every major section of the app.

All-New Search Section

🔍 Reimagined Search Experience

A completely rebuilt search section has been introduced alongside the original, accessible via swipeable tabs. Both sections remain active simultaneously — users who prefer the classic hierarchical reference workflow can continue using the original at any time.

Original Search vs New Search

The original search section was built around structured reference navigation: users stepped through dropdown menus to select a book, a chapter, and a reference number — with additional scope options for global ID, Ruku, Para, and language. Effective for targeted lookup, but limited to structured navigation.

The new search section is fundamentally different. Built for discovery first — with references as a natural extension rather than the starting point.

✍️ Unified Smart Search Bar

A single, intelligent search bar powers the entire experience. Users type once and receive results across all indexed content simultaneously.

Input is analyzed automatically:

Free-form text triggers full-text search across the entire corpus
Reference-style input (e.g., 2:35) automatically surfaces matching reference results alongside text results
Hybrid and ambiguous inputs are handled gracefully, delivering the most relevant results from all sources

🧠 Lucene-Inspired Search Engine

The text search engine has been built from the ground up, heavily inspired by Apache Lucene with domain-specific extensions for Islamic content:

Diacritic-insensitive matching — Arabic tashkeel is fully ignored during search
Token-level text splitting and analysis
Fuzzy matching for approximate and near-match results
Relevance scoring and intelligent result ranking
Multi-field pattern analysis across related content
Connection-aware indexing across structured Islamic data

Results are delivered in nanoseconds to milliseconds across millions of records.

📂 Results Organized by Source

Results are automatically grouped into dedicated, swipeable tabs:

Hadith — across all downloaded and installed books
Quran — translations and Ayahs
Tafsir — commentary content where resource packs are installed
Collections — user-created folders, saved items, notes, and item descriptions

🎛️ Granular Search Filters

An advanced filter panel provides complete control, with defaults carefully chosen to deliver an excellent out-of-the-box experience:

Search method — Text matching (default) or Reference mode
Sources — Selectable checkable chips for Hadith, Quran, Tafsir, and Collections
Scopes — Filter by Surah, Juz/Para, Ruku, or any structural element
Resource by — Narrow to specific languages or individual resource packs
Hadith books — Scope search to specific books, or keep all selected
Reset — One-tap to restore all filters to their defaults

🔗 Reference Search Mode

Selecting Reference mode adjusts all sources and chips to optimize the reference-based workflow. Scope options include:

Universal book order
Hadith chapter-based references
Quran by Surah, Para/Juz, or Ruku
Multi-scope combined selections

Matched references are clearly labeled, grouped, and highlighted throughout results.

🗂️ Searchable Collections & Notes

User-generated content is fully indexed and searchable:

Personal collections and folder names
Notes attached to saved Hadith, Ayahs, and other items
Item descriptions and metadata

Matched keywords are highlighted directly within results at the exact location they appear.

⚡ Automatic & Transactional Indexing

Indexing runs automatically whenever a new resource pack is installed or a collection is modified. The engine is RAM-aware, ANR-proof, and designed to have no noticeable foreground impact.

All indexing is fully transactional — a force-close or crash during indexing leaves no corrupted or half-indexed state. The app detects and recovers incomplete operations automatically on the next launch.

A manual reindex option is also available.

📄 Full Pagination

Every result set is completely paginated. No memory exhaustion regardless of corpus size or result count.

📖 Enhanced Reference Tracking

The app now features an advanced referencing engine that provides unparalleled clarity when exploring Hadith and Quranic citations. References have become richer and more informative while maintaining a highly readable layout, allowing users to instantly track their reading journey through sleek visual progress bars that show exactly how far they have come and what remains. For instance, when looking at a Hadith, a single, intuitive metric block elegantly displays the exact Hadith number within its specific chapter, the current chapter number relative to the total chapters in the book, and its precise sequential position. These dense yet incredibly clear visual statistics bring a new level of context and convenience to every verse and narration you study.

🕰️ Prayer Times Section

Completely rewritten with a focus on flexibility, privacy, and accuracy.

📍 Flexible Location Setup

Users now have multiple ways to configure their prayer location:

Time zone is saved per-location and applied across the app

Timezone management is now a fully integrated core configuration of the app, ensuring absolute consistency across every single feature. Any changes instantly reflect everywhere—from calendar dates to precise prayer times and general time stamps. Users can easily update this setting via an intuitive selection dialog that simplifies the choice by clearly presenting their current device system timezone, the geographical location timezone, and the active timezone currently applied to the app.

📅 Date-Based Timing View with Hijri Sync

View prayer timings for any day, past or future
Built-in calendar picker makes date selection easy
Islamic calendar (Hijri) updates alongside Gregorian selection
Reset to today with one tap
