The Arabic CBT-i Sleep App, with Qur'an
If you've searched for an Arabic insomnia app or an Islamic sleep app, you've probably found only Qur'an players and prayer-time apps — none that actually treat insomnia. Sakina (سكينة) is different, and as far as we know, unique: it's the first Arabic-native app built on CBT-i — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, the treatment clinical guidelines recommend first, ahead of sleeping pills — wrapped in Qur'an and أذكار for a calm, faith-aligned wind-down.
Why CBT-i (not just relaxing sounds)
Relaxation and Qur'an audio soothe you for one night; they don't fix chronic insomnia. CBT-i addresses the behavioral causes — time in bed, clock-watching, anxiety about sleep itself — and its results last for years. Read what CBT-i is.
What makes Sakina unique
- Real CBT-i — a multi-night program (sleep restriction, stimulus control) with a sleep diary that adapts your plan.
- Qur'an & adhkar — bedtime surahs, Ayat al-Kursi and the mu'awwidhat, and breathing where the dhikr rotates on screen.
- Arabic-native — dialect-aware (فصحى / مصري / خليجي), gendered, written for the reader.
- Free & private — a local sleep diary, content-free analytics; Qur'an and adhkar stay free forever.
