Mizan
Mizan (ميزان) is an AI-powered Quran companion that finds the verse written for your moment. Describe a struggle, a feeling, or a question — Mizan uses Claude AI to surface semantically relevant Quran verses with authentic Arabic text, translation, tafsir, and audio recitation. Free, open source, installable as a PWA, and available in English and Arabic.
