How it works

01

Find the verse

From a detection result, or from Ask AI in the reader. Any verse in the Quran works.

02

Tap Explain

The AI returns a short plain-English explanation based on Tafsir al-Jalalayn, with 3 to 5 themes.

03

Follow the sources

The answer names the tafsir it drew from. Use it as an entry point, then go deeper in the original texts.

What an explanation includes

  • A short plain-English restatement of what the verse is saying, based on Tafsir al-Jalalayn.
  • The occasion of revelation only where al-Jalalayn mentions one. RecitID does not supply its own.
  • 3 to 5 short themes the verse touches on.
  • No hadith, rulings or historical claims beyond what the tafsir itself says.
  • The tafsir source named on the answer. Where al-Jalalayn has no entry for a verse, the explanation stays close to the translation and claims no tafsir source.
  • Works on every verse of the Quran, not a limited subset.

FAQ

What does AI Explain give me?

A short plain-English explanation of the verse grounded in Tafsir al-Jalalayn, with that source named, plus 3 to 5 themes. Where al-Jalalayn mentions the occasion of revelation, the explanation can reflect it, but RecitID does not add occasions of revelation of its own.

Is it replacing classical tafsir?

No. The explanation is an entry point. It draws on one concise classical work, Tafsir al-Jalalayn, and names it, so you can go deeper in longer works such as Ibn Kathir, al-Tabari or al-Sa'di.

Is AI Explain on the free plan?

Yes, with a daily limit. The free plan includes 2 explanations a day; Monthly Pro and Annual Pro make them unlimited.

Can I use it offline?

No. AI Explain runs against a cloud model so it needs an internet connection.

Does it work for every verse?

Yes. Every verse of the Quran is supported.
