A lightweight, ad‑free Quran reader that presents the Warsh Mushaf with colored Tajweed rules and offers offline audio recitations.
What is Warsh Colored Tajweed Quran?
This Android application provides the Qur'an according to the Warsh narration, using the traditional colored Tajweed markings to help readers apply the correct pronunciation rules. It is developed by Mohamed Matar and distributed free of charge.
Main features
- Warsh Mushaf with colored Tajweed – each verse displays the standard color‑coded Tajweed symbols, making it easier to follow the rules while reading.
- Audio recitation – a selection of Warsh‑style reciters is available for playback. Users can stream or download the recordings for offline listening.
- Bookmarking – save your place at any verse or page and return to it later.
- Search – quickly locate verses, words, or phrases through a built‑in search function.
- Night mode – a dark theme reduces eye strain during low‑light reading.
- Zoom controls – adjust the text size to suit your comfort.
- Indexes – easy navigation through Surahs, Juz, Hizb and other traditional divisions.
How it works
After installing the app, the main screen presents the Warsh Mushaf. Tapping a verse opens a detailed view where the colored Tajweed markings are visible. A playback button starts the corresponding audio segment; the player includes basic controls for pause, forward, and repeat. The bookmark icon stores the current location, and the search bar at the top lets you type any Arabic word or phrase to jump directly to matching verses.
Practical uses
- Daily reading – follow the Qur'an with visual Tajweed cues.
- Memorization – listen to recitations while reading to reinforce correct pronunciation.
- Study – use the search function to explore specific words or themes.
- Nighttime worship – switch to night mode for comfortable reading after sunset.

The app can be installed directly from the Google Play Store using the package name com.matarmohamed.quran. No additional permissions beyond basic storage access are required for offline audio playback.
Things to know before installing
