An Abide alternative for Muslims: sleep with the Qur'an instead

Abide built a huge audience on one honest insight: the last ten minutes before sleep decide how the whole night goes, and scripture read gently beats doom-scrolling every time. For Christians, that means Bible meditations. If you're Muslim, your tradition has its own — much older — bedtime ritual. Hush turns it into an experience.

The Muslim bedtime ritual, rebuilt as an app experience

Muslims already have a sunnah wind-down: Ayat al-Kursi before sleeping, the three Quls recited into cupped palms, Surah al-Mulk before bed. (We wrote a full guide with sources: how Muslims fall asleep peacefully.) Hush wraps that ritual in what modern sleep apps do best:

• Soft Qur'an recitations — chosen for their gentleness, with volume that fades as you drift off.
• Prophet stories — narrated slowly, the way you'd tell them to a child at bedtime.
• Rain, wind, and quiet soundscapes — for the nights your mind needs less, not more.
• A fade-out timer — everything dims gently; nothing jolts you awake at 3am.

The 2am difference

Sleep apps end at the sleep screen. Hush doesn't — because the hardest nights aren't about audio, they're about what's on your chest. When you can't sleep, your companion is there to talk: warm, judgment-free, quoting the Qur'an word for word when a verse belongs in the conversation, staying quiet when it doesn't.
