وَكُونُوا لُطَفَاءَ بَعْضُكُمْ نَحْوَ بَعْضٍ، مُتَحَنِّنِينَ، مُتَغَافِرِينَ — Ephesians 4:32

فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ — Psalm 56:3

فَلاَ نَفْشَلْ فِي عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ لأَنَّنَا سَنَحْصُدُ فِي وَقْتِهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لاَ نَكِلُّ — Galatians 6:9

01Scripture

A Bishara card carrying Galatians 6:9 in Arabic
A Bishara card carrying Ephesians 4:32 in Arabic
A Bishara card carrying Psalm 56:3 in Arabic

The Arabic you pray in, not a translation of a translation

Every verse comes from a text your family already knows: Van Dyck, the 1865 translation Orthodox readers grew up with, and the old Jesuit translation of 1876 that Catholic readers were taught from. Both are fully vocalised, both are public domain, and both are in the app from the first day — with prayers and reflections written in warm, plain Arabic beside them.

Scripture where you already look, forty times a day

Put a verse under your clock and another on your Home Screen. You do not open anything, you do not decide anything — you glance at your phone the way you always do, and the verse is already there. Every widget is free, on both screens, as many as you like.

Nine looks, and every one of them is free

Six for daylight, three for the evening — sky, mist, horizon, dawn, paper, sea, night, deep, slate. Pick the one that suits you and it follows the verse everywhere: into the app, onto your Home Screen, onto the image you send your mother. Your app icon changes to match.

Why people keep it on their Lock Screen

A verse waiting every morning

Bishara chooses the day’s verse before you wake up. It is on your Lock Screen when you first reach for your phone, and on your Home Screen for the rest of the day.

Reminders that feel like a friend, not an app

Choose how many times a day, and between which hours. Each one arrives as the verse itself, under its own reference — never a nudge to come back and open something.

أَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي يُقَوِّينِي
Philippians 4:13
فِي يَوْمِ خَوْفِي أَنَا عَلَيْكَ أَتَّكِلُ
Psalm 56:3

The Scripture you grew up hearing

Van Dyck for Orthodox readers, the old Jesuit translation for Catholic ones — both fully vocalised, both public domain, both free. Tell Bishara which church you come from and it sets the right one.

Made to be sent on

Any verse becomes an image in one tap, ready for a WhatsApp status, a family group, or a story. The way Scripture already travels between us.
