AI Search (beta): Uses AI-powered semantic understanding to find conceptually related ayahs, even when the exact word is absent. Best for thematic queries in natural language.
Fuzzy Search: Enabled by default. Tolerates small spelling differences and diacritics variations, so you do not need to type perfectly vocalized Arabic.

Sort: Relevance: highest matching score first (default). Mus'haf: Quran page order. Tanzil: revelation order. Topics: grouped by subject. Ayah length: shorter to longer.
Translation: Choose a translation to display alongside each Arabic ayah. Select No translation to hide translations.
Recitation: Select a reciter whose audio will be available in Recitation view mode. Choose No recitation to disable audio.
Script: Choose the Arabic script style for displaying ayah text. Standard: modern vocalized script (default). Unvocalized: removes tashkeel for a cleaner look. Uthmani: traditional Uthmani Quranic script.
