Classical Maliki fiqh primer with 8 translations and Arabic audio narration
Al-Akhdari — Al-Mukhtasar fi al-'Ibadat (المختصر في العبادات) Al-Akhdari brings you the complete text of "Al-Mukhtasar fi al-'Ibadat" (The Abridgment of Worship), the celebrated short primer on Maliki fiqh composed by Imam Abu Zayd Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad al-Akhdari al-Baskari. For centuries this concise text — known simply as "Matn al-Akhdari" — has been one of the very first books taught to students of the Maliki school across North and West Africa, covering the essential rulings of purification, prayer, and the other foundational acts of worship every Muslim needs to know. WHAT'S INSIDE The app presents the full Arabic text of the matn, organized into clear, numbered sections exactly as the classical text is traditionally divided — from the introduction on the obligations of the accountable believer, through the rulings of purification (tahara), down to the acts and conditions of prayer. Each section can be opened straight from the table of contents, so you can jump directly to the chapter you need. FEATURES • Full Arabic text of Matn al-Akhdari, section by section, exactly as transmitted in the classical tradition • Translations into English, French, Urdu, Indonesian, Turkish, Swahili, Malay, and Hausa — switch languages instantly from a single dropdown that shows every option at once • Audio narration for the Arabic text and for your selected translation, with a simple play/pause button on every section • Works fully offline — all narration audio is bundled with the app, so you can read and listen without needing an internet connection • Adjustable text size, so the Arabic and translation text are comfortable to read on any device • Swipe left or right to move between sections, or use the Prev/Next buttons — whichever feels more natural to you • Quick-access Home and Settings buttons on every screen, so you're never more than one tap from the table of contents • Choose your default translation language once in Settings, and it's remembered every time you open a new section • A gentle weekly reminder notification to help you keep up a regular reading habit, if you choose to enable it • Clean, distraction-free design built specifically for focused study and reading WHY MATN AL-AKHDARI Al-Mukhtasar fi al-'Ibadat has endured as a teaching text for generations because of how clearly and concisely it lays out the core rulings a Muslim needs for correct worship. It remains a standard starting point in traditional Maliki study circles, often memorized before a student moves on to longer works. Al-Akhdari is designed to make this foundational text easy to carry with you, read in your own language, and return to whenever you need a clear answer on the fiqh of purification and prayer. WHO THIS APP IS FOR Whether you are a student beginning your study of Maliki fiqh, a teacher looking for a reliable reference to share with students, or simply someone who wants to understand the basics of purification and prayer in the Maliki school, Al-Akhdari puts the full text — and a translation in your own language — in your pocket.
