Terms of use
Last updated: 6 November 2026
These terms are between you and Abdul Rahim ("we"), who runs Arihna (formerly Sakinah) as a sole trader. By using Arihna you agree to them. If you downloaded Arihna from Apple's App Store, Apple's standard licence (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula) also applies.
What Arihna is, and isn't
Arihna is a companion for reflection, remembrance and calm. It is not medical care, therapy or a crisis service, and it does not give religious rulings. If you are in danger or thinking of harming yourself, use Find support in the app or call your local emergency number.
The Qurʼān, ḥadīth and duʿāʼ in Arihna are copied word for word from their named sources (Quran Foundation, sunnah.com and others shown beside each text), never typed, paraphrased or generated. Where scholars differ, Arihna names the differences and leaves the choice to you.
Arihna+
The core of Arihna (the Qurʼān, ḥadīth, duʿāʼ, prayer times and the qiblah) is free and stays free. Arihna+ is an optional subscription that adds more.
- You buy Arihna+ through Apple's App Store or Google Play, at the price the store shows in the app.
- A free trial, where offered, turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel before then.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- You manage or cancel Arihna+ in your App Store or Google Play account settings (in Arihna, Settings, then help with a purchase, opens them). Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Arihna+ until the period you've paid for ends.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Your things
What you write and record in Arihna stays on your phone and is yours. We can't see it, so we can't recover it. Your phone's own backup leaves out what you write in Arihna's journal, your feelings and answers, and the Library's writing, so Export is the way to keep a copy of those.
Using Arihna
We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use Arihna on devices you own or control. Please don't copy, resell or reverse engineer it, or use it to break the law. The sacred texts belong to their sources and are shown under their licences; Arihna's own design, words and art are ours. Each source and credit is named in Settings, sources and credits, and at arihna.app/sources.
Changes and availability
We may change, improve or retire parts of Arihna, and we'll update these terms when we do; the date above shows the latest. We aim to keep Arihna working but can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. Prayer times are worked out on your phone by the method you choose, and your phone's own settings can quieten a reminder or the Fajr alarm, so check them against your masjid's times when it matters.
Liability
As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses, or for losses from relying on Arihna instead of medical, psychological or religious advice. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or anything else the law doesn't allow us to limit, and your consumer rights are not affected.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts can hear disputes; if you live elsewhere in the UK or the EU, you keep the protections of your own country's law.
