About Qaloun.app

What is Qaloun.app?

Qaloun.app is the first comprehensive online reference dedicated to the Qaloun recitation of Nafi'. Our mission is to make this important Quranic reading tradition accessible to everyone.

What the site offers

• Complete Quran text in the Qaloun reading with full tashkeel (vocalization)
• Tajwid rules specific to Qaloun with examples from the Quran
• Audio recitations by renowned Qaloun reciters with verse-by-verse synchronization
• Translations in Arabic, French, and English
• Comparison tools to see differences between Qaloun, Hafs, and Warsh readings
• Mind maps for long surahs as a pedagogical tool

Who is it for?

• Students of Quran and tajwid learning the Qaloun reading
• Imams and teachers in North Africa (Tunisia, Libya) and wherever Qaloun is recited
• Muslim diaspora seeking connection to their Quranic tradition
• Researchers and scholars studying Quranic readings

Why Qaloun?

While the Hafs reading has abundant digital resources, the Qaloun reading remains virtually absent online. It is the predominant reading in Tunisia and parts of Libya and Yemen. We aim to fill this gap.
