For you · Real-time

Imam speaks. AI translates. Everyone understands.

A simple flow with magical precision: the imam speaks in Arabic, Khutba World's AI listens via a phone next to the minbar, and sends the translation to every worshipper in their preferred language. No devices in the mosque, no cables.

From Jakarta to Rotterdam — every Friday simultaneously — over 300,000 imams worldwide ascend the minbar. 1.9 billion Muslims listen. And the majority of them don't understand at least part of what their imam says.

In the Netherlands, that's 60%. In Germany, France, England — same order of magnitude. Converts don't understand the Arabic citations. Children of migrants no longer understand the Turkish or Berber that their parents speak fluently. This isn't a minor inconvenience. This is a generation of Muslims who are not fully reached weekly by the spiritual guide preaching to them.

And until recently, there was no solution. Working groups trying to summarise afterwards. Apps with static summaries from last week. Whisper interpreters who tire after five minutes. Khutba World is the first technology to solve this in real-time. The AI — trained on thousands of hours of Quran recitation, classical Arabic, modern sermons in multiple dialects — listens via a simple phone next to the minbar. Within 1.4 seconds, the translation appears word for word on every listener's phone. In 32 languages. Simultaneously.

Accuracy

And not a single khutba is lost. Every live-translated sermon is automatically recorded in the global Khutba World archive — currently thousands of khutbas, from Dubai to Detroit, from Casablanca to The Hague. Searchable by topic, imam, mosque or date. All automatically translated into your language. A visitor in Rotterdam can read what Sheikh Al-Sudais preached in Makkah last Friday. A parent can still share the jum'ah from three months ago with their children on WhatsApp. This is how one moment becomes weekly Islamic knowledge.

Free for listeners. One fixed amount per month for the mosque. This isn't better than what existed — this is the first time it's possible.
