The language barrier, removed
Nearly all scholarly books are written in Arabic. BAYYAN understands your question, reformulates it and translates it to search through the original texts.
The challenge

BAYYAN solves this problem through an intelligent process:
You ask your question
Write in your language: French, English, Arabic or Spanish.
"I have trouble concentrating during my prayer, what should I do?"
Intelligent reformulation
The AI understands your intent and reformulates the question with precise Islamic terminology.
→ "The causes of lack of khushu' (concentration) in salah and the prescribed remedies"
