Mawrid
Add to Chrome

A Quran new-tab extension

Every new tab, a quiet return.

Mawrid places one ayah where your day already passes — in a printed-mushaf Uthmani text, with your translation, your reciter, and today's prayer times.

Between one thing and the next

This is the whole product.

Not a screenshot. The same Verse Well you'll see on every tab — real Uthmani text from the King Fahd Complex edition, set in the printed-mushaf typeface, with the translation beneath it.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.

Ar-Ra'd · 13:28 Saheeh International

Mawrid is a reminder between things. It is not a replacement for a mushaf, and it is not a teacher.

The day, from dawn to night

Your prayer horizon, on the tab.

Today's six times, a live countdown to the next, and the Hijri and Gregorian dates — drawn as a horizon from Fajr to Isha. You type your city once; the times are yours.

Prayer times

Near your location

— until —

  • Fajr
  • Sunrise
  • Dhuhr
  • Asr
  • Maghrib
  • Isha

These times are estimated from your time zone, for illustration on this page. In the extension you choose your city and calculation method, and the times come from AlAdhan. For prayer, follow your local mosque.

Nothing here is watching

The one thing no other tab can copy.

Muslim apps have a history with location data. So we don't ask you to trust us — we show you the boundary, and you can check every word of it yourself.

Four permissions. Here they are.

The complete list the extension requests — and why each one exists.

  • alarmsTick once a minute to check whether it's time for the adhan.

What it never asks for

  • Your browsing history
  • The pages you visit
  • Your identity or an account
  • Precise GPS location
  • Contacts, camera, microphone
  • Any third-party analytics

The honest boundary

We won't claim nothing ever leaves your device — that wouldn't be true. When you enable prayer times, your city and country are sent to AlAdhan to compute them. When you play a recitation, the audio streams from Quran.com's servers. Those requests carry an IP address, as any web request does. Everything else — your settings, your saved ayahs, your dhikr count — stays in your browser's own storage.

This page, too

The page you're reading sets no cookies and loads nothing from any other server. The fonts are self-hosted. Your local prayer times were computed in your browser, from your time zone alone. Open the network tab and see.

Where the words come from

Named sources, not claims of authority.

Mawrid makes no religious claim of its own. It shows you the text, and tells you exactly where each part of it comes from.

The Arabic
QPC Hafs — the Uthmani text of the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex, served by the Quran.com API and set in the KFGQPC HAFS Uthmanic Script.
Translations
English, French, Spanish, Indonesian and Turkish, each by its named translator.
Tafseer
Seven classical Arabic works, shown on request and set in a Naskh typeface — never in the mushaf face.
Recitation
Fourteen verse-by-verse reciters, streamed from Quran.com.
Quran radio
Station directory from the mp3quran.net API; the live streams are provided by their broadcasters (qurango.net).
Prayer times
Computed by AlAdhan from your city, with your calculation method and madhab — the same authorities your local mosque is likely to use.

Make it yours

Quiet, but yours.

One ayah at the centre, and everything around it set the way you like.

Who made this

Who made this

I built Mawrid for myself first — a small, quiet way to meet an ayah in the gaps of an ordinary day, without an account, without being counted, and without anything asking for my attention in return.

It stays free because there is no server to pay for and no data to sell. If you find any error in the text or a translation, tell me and I'll fix it that week — for a Quran, that matters more than anything else here.

A few honest answers

A few honest answers

Is my city stored anywhere?
Only in your own browser, so it doesn't have to ask again. It's sent to AlAdhan to compute your times, and nowhere else.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your last saved ayah and settings are kept locally, so a new tab still opens without a connection.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
It's removed with the extension. There's no copy anywhere else, because there's nowhere else. You can also export a backup first.
Which prayer calculation methods are supported?
The standard ones — Muslim World League, ISNA, Egyptian, Umm al-Qura, Karachi and more — with a Shafi or Hanafi Asr. Choose the one your local mosque uses.
Is it really free? How?
Yes. There is no server and no analytics, so running it costs almost nothing, and there's nothing to monetise.
Firefox, or a phone app?
Not yet — and we'd rather say so plainly than pretend. Leave your email above and you'll hear once, when yours is ready.

Every new tab, a quiet return.
