Sayqal

A Quran app for the heartDil ke liye Quran ki app

Your qalb, cleaned one illness at a time. Qalb ki safai. Ek waqt mein ek beemari.

Each door is one illness of the heart that the Quran names. One at a time, a week each.

Har darwaaza dil ki ek beemari hai, jiska naam Quran ne liya hai. Ek ek kar ke, hafte hafte.

When did you last think of Allah today?Aaj aakhri dafa Allah kab yaad aaye?

No need to answer. Just think.Jawab dene ki zaroorat nahi. Bas socho.

Where it starts

You picked up your phone to check one thing.

Forty minutes later you put it down.

What was the one thing?

Phone ek kaam ke liye uthaya tha.

Chalees minute baad rakha.

Woh ek kaam kya tha?

You've been on this page forTum is page pe ho 0:00

Was your heart here the whole time?Kya dil poora waqt yahin tha?

You stood up for salah.

You said Allahu Akbar.

The next thing you remember is the salam.

Namaz ke liye khare hue.

Allahu Akbar kaha.

Agli cheez jo yaad hai, woh salaam hai.

This has a name. The Quran calls itIs ka ek naam hai. Quran ise kehta hai

ghaflah

ٱقْتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمْ وَهُمْ فِى غَفْلَةٍ مُّعْرِضُونَ

Ever closer to people draws their reckoning, while they turn away, heedless.

Al-Anbiya 21:1 · Abdel Haleem

Nobody becomes heedless on purpose. Your attention just slips, little by little.

Coming back works the same way. Little by little.

Koi jaan boojh kar ghaafil nahi hota. Bas aahista aahista dhyaan hat jaata hai.

Wapas aana bhi aise hi hota hai. Thora thora.

The road

One door at a timeEk waqt, ek darwaaza

Door 1 · Ghaflah

Everyone starts here. Seven days, a few minutes each.

Sab yahin se shuru karte hain. Saat din, roz chand minute.

Then three roadsPhir teen raaste

Long hopes, laziness, or a hard heart. You choose the one that sounds like you.

Lambi ummeedein, susti, ya dil ki sakhti. Jo tumhari baat lage, woh chuno.

The doors aheadAage ke darwaaze

You see a hint, not the name. Each door opens when you reach it.

Naam nahi, sirf ishaara dikhta hai. Har darwaaza tab khulega jab tum wahan pohnchoge.

About angerAbout showing offAbout envyAbout the tongue

At the end of the road isRaaste ke aakhir mein hai

Qalb-e-Saleem

يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونَ ۝ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ

the Day when neither wealth nor children can help, when the only one who will be saved is the one who comes before God with a heart devoted to Him.

Ash-Shu'ara 26:88–89 · Abdel Haleem

A day in Sayqal

A few minutes. One small thing to do, one question to answer.Chand minute. Ek chhota kaam, ek sawaal.

Door 1 · Day 1

Drifting offAankh lag gayi

Right now.

Close your eyes. Say SubhanAllah once in your heart.

Abhi, isi waqt.

Aankhein band karo. Dil mein ek dafa SubhanAllah kaho.

Hold while you say it. Let go when you're done.Kehte hue dabaye rakho. Ho jaye to chhor do.


So far today, what were you doing when you forgot Allah?Aaj ab tak kis waqt Allah bilkul yaad nahi aaye?

This stays on your phone.Yeh sirf tumhare phone mein rahega.

Tap an answer. You'll see it again on Day 7, below.Koi jawab chuno. Neeche Day 7 pe yeh wapas dikhega.

Day 7 · The mirror

Your weekTumhara hafta

Each day you were asked one question. These are your answers:Har din tum se ek sawaal poocha tha. Yeh tumhare jawab hain:

This line stays next to Ghaflah on your road.Yeh baat Road screen pe Ghaflah ke darwaaze ke saath likhi rahegi.

وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ

let every soul consider carefully what it sends ahead for tomorrow

Al-Hashr 59:18 · Abdel Haleem

Where every word comes from

Every ayah is taken from checked text. Every explanation names its scholar.Har ayat check kiye hue matan se li gayi hai. Har wazahat ke saath us aalim ka naam hai.

Why this question?Yeh sawaal kyun?

Al-Sa'di explains “heedless” in this ayah: heedless of what they were created for. Living as if they were made only for this world, and born only to enjoy it.

Shaykh as-Sa'di is ayat mein ghaflat ka matlab batate hain: jis kaam ke liye paida hue, us se ghaafil. Aise jeena jaise sirf duniya ke liye paida hue hon, aur sirf mazay karne ke liye.

And when something is Sayqal's own idea, the app says so:Aur jo baat Sayqal ki apni ho, app woh bhi batati hai:

The ayah doesn't name SubhanAllah. That's Sayqal's suggestion, as one way to remember Allah in your heart.

SubhanAllah ka naam ayat mein nahi hai. Yeh Sayqal ka mashwara hai, Allah ko dil mein yaad karne ke liye.

What it costs

Every door is freeHar darwaaza free hai

And will stay free. One line from each door stays with you always.Aur free hi rahega. Har darwaaze ki ek line tumhare paas hamesha rahegi.

Why the name

قَلْب

Qalb

is the heart.

dil hai.

صَيْقَل

Sayqal

is its cleaning.

us ki safai.

In a hadith, when a person repents, the stain on their heart is cleaned. The word used there is suqila. Sayqal comes from it.Hadith mein hai ke jab insaan tauba karta hai to us ke dil ka daagh saaf kar diya jaata hai. Wahan lafz suqila hai. Sayqal usi se hai.
