From Al-Jazariyyah, the foundational text of tajweed

يَقُولُ رَاجِي عَفْوِ رَبٍّ سَامِعِ
مُحَمَّدُ ابْنُ الْجَزَرِيِّ الشَّافِعِي
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَىٰ نَبِيِّهِ وَمُصْطَفَاهُ

Ibn al-Jazari

How It Works

Choose a text

Browse foundational texts across tajweed, aqeedah, hadith, nahw, fiqh, and more, organised by subject.

Listen & follow along

Hear each line recited clearly, reading the fully vowelled Arabic text as you listen.

Practise & memorise

Lines you've learnt wait patiently. Lines you haven't come back more often. Watch them move from 'new' to 'mastered'.

About Matn

"The rest, the discipline, the understanding, the joy of carrying knowledge with you, that's still yours."

Matn was born from a simple need: a quiet, focused space to memorise the foundational texts of the Islamic sciences. The mutun (short works of knowledge written in verse form) have been at the heart of traditional Islamic education for centuries. Matn helps you commit them to memory with guided audio and spaced repetition.

Just you, the text, and a voice guiding you through each line, with gentle progress tools to keep you on track.

The app respects the tradition it serves. Memorising these texts is a practice that predates apps by over a millennium. Matn simply offers what technology does best: reliable audio, patient repetition, and a record of your progress. The rest, the discipline, the understanding, the joy of carrying knowledge with you, that's still yours.

Built for students of knowledge who want their tools to get out of the way and let the texts speak.
