Making a New Mushaf or Notebook
Create a new Qur'an mushaf or a blank notebook in three quick steps.
TL;DR
The New Mushaf card opens a three-step wizard: choose a type (Qur'an, Notebook, or Import), pick a script or format, then name it, add a colour, and tap Create Notebook. The new mushaf or notebook appears as a card on your dashboard, and you can keep up to 10.

Everything starts from the dashboard. To begin something new, tap the New Mushaf card (the card with a +). A short wizard walks you through three steps.
Step 1 — Choose the type
- —Qur'an — annotate directly on the Qur'an's verses.
- —Notebook — a plain canvas or document for your own free notes.
- —Import — start a notebook from a PDF, images, or a Word or PowerPoint file.
Step 2 — Choose the style
If you chose Qur'an, pick a script: Ayah by Ayah, Uthmani, Tajweed Colours, IndoPak, Traceable, or Word by Word. Ayah by Ayah also lets you choose a translation. Word by Word has an Include transliteration option instead.
If you chose Notebook, pick a format: Canvas (freeform drawing and notes), Document (rich text with inline drawing), Templates (pre-built study layouts), or Journal Pack (themed multi-page journals).
Step 3 — Name and finish
Give your mushaf or notebook a name, add an optional description, pick a card colour, then tap Create Notebook. It appears as a new card on your dashboard. Tap it to open it. (If you chose Import, it opens straight away and starts importing.)
Give each one a clear, specific name. You can create up to 10, so naming them well keeps your dashboard easy to navigate.
