Authenticity & content sources
At Nida Home, the religious content shown on your display is never improvised. Every text — the Quran, its translations, the hadiths, the supplications, the names of Allah — comes from recognised, verified sources, never from in-house writing. Here, in full transparency, is the origin of each element.
The Quran text (Arabic)
The complete Arabic text — 114 surahs and 6,236 verses — uses the reference Uthmani text, via the Quran.com API. The reading marks follow the King Fahd (KFGQPC) edition of Madinah, one of the most widely used in the world.
The Quran translations
Each translation is the work of a clearly identified translator or institution, faithfully sourced via Quran.com:
| Language | Translation / edition |
|---|---|
| French | Muhammad Hamidullah |
| English | Saheeh International |
| Turkish | Diyanet İşleri (Presidency of Religious Affairs of Turkey) |
| German | Bubenheim & Elyas |
All 6,236 verses are translated into each of these four languages.
The hadiths — the 40 Hadith of Imam An-Nawawi
The famous collection of 40 hadith (42 in total) by Imam An-Nawawi, with their original references (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim…), available in Arabic, English, French and Turkish. Source: Sunnah.com.
Daily supplications — Hisn al-Muslim
The Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim) by Sheikh Sa'id al-Qahtani: the supplications in Arabic, with transliteration, English translation and a reference for each. Source: Sunnah.com.
The 99 Names of Allah (Asma ul-Husna)
The 99 names in Arabic, their transliteration and their meaning, sourced from the AlAdhan API.
The call to prayer (adhan)
Several authentic audio adhans, from the AlAdhan network and Wikimedia Commons (identified muezzins, for example Sheikh Sabah Fakhry).
The Quran reciters
Many reciters available as audio, from the reference libraries mp3quran.net and quranicaudio.com.
Prayer times
Prayer times are calculated directly on the device, without relying on an external server: your display stays reliable even without a stable connection. The calculation is based on recognised methods (Muslim World League, ISNA, UOIF, Umm al-Qura, Egypt, Diyanet…) and on the madhab, configurable for your location. The Hijri calendar is also computed locally.
The Nida Iqra & Nida Kids modes
Nida Iqra (immersive Quran reading) uses the text, the highlighting timings and the translations from the Quranic Universal Library (QUL), with the audio of a real reciter (Mishary Alafasy) — never synthetic speech on the Quran.
Nida Kids: the stories of the prophets are summarised and narrated by our team, based on reference sources — Découvrir l'islam (whose accounts are themselves grounded in Ibn Kathir, the Quran and authentic hadiths) and Quran.com. The narration is in the child's language; whenever an Arabic verse is quoted, it is always a real reciter's recording, never synthetic speech.
Our commitment to transparency
We prefer an empty field to unsourced text. When no reliable translation exists for a language, we deliberately leave the space empty rather than display an approximate text. That is our guarantee: what your display shows is authentic, or it is not shown at all.
