Slash commands and linking notes

In a text box on a Qur'an note or a Canvas notebook page, type / to open the slash menu. Use ↑/↓ to choose and Enter to insert, or Esc to close.

(Documents have their own / menu with Link to annotation or page, Search Ayah, Search Hadith and honourifics. See "Writing in Document notebooks".)

Insert Qur'an verses

• —/2:255 inserts one verse
• —/2:255-257 inserts a range of verses
• —/112 inserts a whole surah
• —/ikhlas or /rahman:2-10 uses surah names

Each inserts the Arabic plus a translation. If a verse can't be found you'll see "Ayah not found".

Insert hadith

Type the collection and number, for example /bukhari:1 or /muslim:1. About 20 collections are supported, including Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Malik, Riyad as-Salihin, Nawawi's 40 and more. The narrator, text and Arabic are inserted. Hadith need an internet connection.

Insert honourifics

/pbuh (or /saw), /swt, /ra, /rh, /as. Pick the item from the menu to insert the symbol (for example ﷺ). Typing the word alone doesn't replace it automatically.

Just a /

Typing / on its own shows: Link to annotation or page, Search Ayah, Search Hadith, and the honourifics.

Linking notes together

Links let you jump from one note to another verse, page, note or notebook.

Two ways to add a link:

• —Type /link 2:20 and choose Link to … to link straight to Surah 2, verse 20.
• —Type /link and choose Browse your annotations..., or use Insert > Link to annotation or page, to open the link picker. Search, filter by Verse, Word, Surah, Page or Notebook, and pick one. You can search across all your mushafs. The picker shows notes you've already written plus your notebooks and pages.

What links look like:

• —a green 📖 pill for Qur'an places
• —a blue 📓 pill for notebooks
• —a grey crossed-out pill if the target no longer exists

Following a link: tap the pill (not while drawing). A ← Back to … bar appears so you can return to where you were.

Links only go one way. The linked note doesn't list the notes that link to it.
