For mosques and Islamic events
Every attendee understands the khutbah.

Sentence by sentence
Each line appears a few seconds after the imam finishes the sentence.
Right-to-left, done right
Arabic, Urdu, Persian and Pashto read from the right, in their own script.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ
“And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them.”

Large, readable text
Worshippers enlarge the text and switch to dark mode in the prayer hall.
Read or listen
Tap Listen to hear each sentence in your language, through your own earphones.
One khutbah, many first languages
In most mosques the khutbah is given in one language, while the congregation thinks in many. Some worshippers follow only part of it.
Interpreters cost more than most mosques can pay every week, and headsets go missing. With Alsinah, everyone reads the khutbah on their own phone — or on the screen in the hall.
Elders
Follow the Arabic, but are more at home in Bengali, Urdu or Punjabi than in English.
New arrivals
Still learning the local language — Somali, Pashto or Arabic is what they think in.
Reverts
New to Arabic and to many of the terms the imam uses.
Young people
Raised in English, and lost when the khutbah is in Urdu, Bengali or Arabic.
How it works on Jummah
The poster goes up once. After that, each Friday takes a volunteer a few minutes.
Once
Put up the QR poster
Print it and put it on the wall. It never changes, so it works every week.
Before the khutbah
Start the session
A volunteer opens it on the laptop at the sound desk and runs the 5-second audio test.
During the khutbah
Worshippers read or listen
They scan the poster and choose their language, then read along — or listen through their earphones.
After salah
Share the summary
A short written summary in each language, ready for your community group.
Silent and hands-free during the khutbah
Worshippers open the page before the imam begins. After that there is nothing to tap: captions scroll by themselves, the screen stays on, and spoken translation plays only in their earphones.
“There is nothing wrong with that, and this does not come under the heading of fidgeting that is prohibited, because it is done for a need, and not by way of messing about.”35 languages for your congregation
Read in all 35, listen in 33. Turn on as many as your congregation needs — Somali, Bengali and Turkish can follow the same khutbah side by side.
وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ خَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱخْتِلَـٰفُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَٰنِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّلْعَـٰلِمِينَ
“And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge.”

Made for the way a khutbah sounds
Listen in your language
Some worshippers would rather listen than read — elders whose eyesight is weak, or anyone who prefers to hear. Tap Listen and each sentence of the khutbah is spoken in their language, quietly through their own earphones. Read, listen, or both.
In the khutbah
Quran recitation, handled with care
Verses and duas recited in Arabic are labelled “Recitation — AI translation”. Prefer no AI translation of the Quran? Show only the label.
Arabic and English in one khutbah
When the imam moves between Arabic and English or Bengali, each part is recognised and translated.
Names and terms kept exact
Add your imam's name, local places and words like Jummah or Taraweeh to the glossary. They stay exactly as written.
In the hall and after
A screen for the whole hall
For elders without a smartphone: up to three languages in large text on the hall TV, on the same link every week.
A summary after every khutbah
A short written summary in each language, ready to share once the session ends.
Nothing is recorded
Audio is never stored. Text transcripts are kept only if you choose to, and you can delete them at any time.
بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً
“Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence.”
Help your community convey the message — in every language it speaks.
Get early accessQuestions from mosques
Is the Quran translated by AI?
When the imam recites in Arabic during an English or Bengali khutbah, the recitation is translated by AI and clearly labelled “Recitation — AI translation”. If you prefer, your mosque can show only the label, without any translation. Verified translations of verses from a licensed source are planned.
Does it record the khutbah?
No. Audio is never stored. Speech is sent to our AI provider to be transcribed and translated and is not used to train AI models. If you turn on “Save transcript”, only the text is kept, and you can delete it at any time.
What equipment do we need?
A laptop or tablet with Chrome or Edge, connected to your sound desk with a USB cable or a small USB audio adapter — or a USB microphone. Worshippers use their own phones.
Read the equipment guideWho runs it on Friday?
Any volunteer who can open a web page. They start the session on the laptop at the sound desk before the khutbah and end it after salah.
How accurate is it?
Very good for clear speech close to a microphone. It makes more mistakes with background noise, several people speaking at once, and unusual names. Add names and terms to your glossary and they are kept exactly as written.
Does it work for conferences and Islamic events?
Yes. Each hall gets its own session and QR code.
Can worshippers listen instead of reading?
Yes. They tap Listen and hear each sentence in their language through their own earphones, a few seconds after the imam says it. Captions stay on screen, so they can read, listen, or both. Listening works in every language except Kurdish, which is captions only for now.
Hear it in the demoHow many people can follow at once?
Up to 1,000 people per session. Contact us if you expect more.
Is it free? When does it launch?
Early access is free and starts on 1 December 2026. Public launch is planned for 15 December 2026. We will announce prices before launch and tell everyone on the early-access list first.
