What these apps are

How to Muslim is a free Islamic learning resource written in plain English for new Muslims, reverts, and anyone coming back to practice after time away. The main site, howtomuslim.org, and the How to Muslim Guide hold the step-by-step guides. This page holds the tools.

New to Islam, or coming back to it? Begin at The Open Door.

Every app here runs in your browser. Nothing to download, nothing to pay for, no email address to hand over. Open a link and it works, on a phone as easily as a laptop.

The Arabic, the transliteration and the English sit together on every card, so you can follow along whether or not you read Arabic yet. Each dhikr and du'ā shows where it comes from. If you spot a mistake in any of it, tell us and it gets fixed.

Common Questions

Are the How to Muslim apps free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use. There is no paid tier, no trial that runs out, and no adverts.
Do I need an account to use them?
No. Nothing asks you to sign up or hand over an email address. Open the link and start.
Do the apps work on iPhone and Android?
They run in the browser, so any phone, tablet or computer works. On iPhone, tap Share then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the browser menu and tap Add to Home screen. After that it opens from a normal app icon.
Where do the adhkār and du'ās come from?
The Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah. Each one shows its source reference, so you can check it yourself rather than take our word for it.
Is there Arabic, transliteration and English?
Yes. Every dhikr and du'ā is shown in Arabic, with a transliteration for anyone still learning the script, and an English translation underneath.
Who builds these apps?
How to Muslim, the team behind howtomuslim.org. Free Islamic guides for new Muslims and reverts, written without assumed knowledge. See every How to Muslim site and page.
I'm new to Islam. Where should I start?
Start at The Open Door's new Muslim path, which covers your first day, first prayer and first weeks. If you would rather talk to a person, see Talk to someone.
How do I suggest a tool or report a mistake?
Message us through the contact page. Corrections to any Arabic text or source reference are especially welcome.
