Madeenan is also a public reference library. Read Quran and reviewed Hadith pages, follow curated collections, or check where a circulating quotation may come from.
From Question to Cited Answer
Every answer your AI returns points to the exact verse or hadith record it was built from. Madeenan retrieves from reviewed Qur’an and Hadith indexes, grounds the model in those sources, and returns citations your users can open and verify.

Put cited answers in the product you already build
Five verticals where source-backed Islamic AI fits today, each with its own workflow and API.
Every answer ships with a source trail
Madeenan sits between your app and Islamic source indexes. Use hosted chat for light testing, or send retrieved source blocks to your own model from your backend.
Search API
One query across Qur'an, Hadith, Tafsir, and dua sources.
- Meaning, keyword, or exact-reference search
- Arabic text, translation, and reference in every result
- Structured JSON your backend can cache
Cited Chat API
Answers grounded in retrieved sources, returned with citations.
- Every answer cites the sources behind it
- Hosted model included for testing, quota-limited
- Bring your own LLM key in production
Source Library
A public reading library your product can link to.
- 6,236 ayahs with Arabic and English translation
- Reviewed Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim pages
- Find a Source checks circulating quotes
Simple plans for careful Islamic search
Search stays generous because it is the core product. Paid plans help cover retrieval infrastructure, citation checks, API access, and abuse protection.
Madeenan goes further than a generic chat API
Generic chat can answer without reliable sources. Madeenan retrieves, grounds, and cites, so your users can always check where an answer came from.
Pre-indexed Islamic sources
Qur’an, Hadith, Tafsir, and duas normalized and reviewed out of the box.
Hybrid semantic search
Meaning and keyword search ranked over the source index.
Reference lookup
Reference keys resolve to the exact verse or hadith record.

Madeenan is a source-backed Islamic AI API for developers. It searches the Qur'an, Hadith collections such as Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, Tafsir, and duas, then returns cited answer payloads your app can render. Teams use it instead of building their own retrieval and citation layer from scratch.
Search works by meaning, keyword, or exact reference across Qur'an, Hadith, Tafsir, and dua collections. Ask for 'patience' and get relevant verses such as Qur'an 2:153; enter 'Ayat al-Kursi' and get Qur'an 2:255 directly; search in Arabic or English. Results return as structured JSON with Arabic text, translation, and reference fields.
Most Quran APIs return verses when you already know the reference. Madeenan adds meaning-based retrieval across multiple source families, validates citations on generated answers, and lets you call your own model provider instead of locking generation into the API. And when you do know the exact reference, direct lookup endpoints return it without any AI step.
Yes. For production, call the Search API from your backend, pass the returned source blocks to your own model provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — and display Madeenan citations beside the answer. A quota-limited hosted chat is available for testing.
Every account starts on a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans raise daily and monthly limits when you ship to production, and model provider costs stay in your own account, not Madeenan's.
No. Madeenan is an infrastructure layer for retrieval, grounding, and citations. It does not replace qualified scholarship or issue religious rulings. It helps teams build interfaces where users can see the Qur'an, Hadith, Tafsir, and dua/adhkar sources an answer relied on.
When an answer touches faith, people should be able to trace it back.
Madeenan keeps Qur'an, Hadith, Tafsir, and dua close to every response you ship, so your users are not left trusting a black box.
