Purpose
Every passage in Nour Daily filed under purpose — 3 passages from named authors — each cited to its source and linked to the publisher.
Nour Daily tags each item in its reminder bank with two or three themes. The tags exist for a practical reason rather than a scholarly one: they let the app space out passages that say similar things, so a week of reminders covers a week's worth of ground instead of circling one idea. Grouping them here makes the collection legible from the outside.

About these sources
Qur’anic verses are shown in Arabic with a named published translation. Hadith carry the collection and number so the report can be checked at source. Passages from named authors are cited to the work they appear in and are presented as reflections, never as scripture. Where the app's editors condensed a passage rather than quoting a published translation, the item page says so.
Read one of these a day
Nour Daily sends a single sourced reflection each day and puts it on your home screen, in any of nine languages, alongside prayer times computed on the device.
