Frequently Asked Questions

No. You can explore the full lineage map, browse by sūrah, read āyāt, and trace the prophetic lineage without creating an account — on both the website and the mobile app. An account is only needed to save personal study notes and study sets, and to carry a Full Access purchase across your devices. You can buy Full Access without an account on the website and in the app; signing in afterward links the purchase to you.

Go to your Account page and click "Reset password." We'll send a reset link to the email address on your account. Click the link in that email and you'll be taken to a page where you can set a new password.

To update the email address on your account, contact us at support@anbiya.net with your current email and the new one you'd like to use. We'll make the change for you.

Go to your Account page and scroll to the "Danger Zone" section. Click "Delete account," then confirm when prompted. This will permanently delete your account and all associated data. If you bought Full Access, that purchase is deleted with the account. This action cannot be undone.

Click "Unlock Everything" on the pricing card (no account needed first). You'll be taken to our secure Stripe checkout for a one-time payment of $9.99 — no subscription, no renewals. Once payment is confirmed we email you a sign-in link, and every study tool — era and relationship filters, personal study notes, PDF export, Teaching Mode, and study sets — is unlocked immediately, forever. Every prophet, relationship and āyah was already free.

No. On the website you pay first through Stripe and we email you a sign-in link afterward — the account is created for you from the email you paid with. In the mobile app the purchase is handled by the App Store or Google Play and unlocks everything on your device right away. Signing in is optional and simply links the purchase to your account so it follows you to your other devices.

Sign in to (or create) a free Anbiya account in the app and your purchase is linked to it, so everything unlocks anywhere you sign in — other phones, tablets, or the web. If you reinstall or switch devices without signing in, open the unlock screen and tap "Restore purchases" to recover a purchase tied to your App Store or Google Play account.

No. Full Access is a single one-time payment of $9.99 — there is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel. If you subscribed before we switched to one-time pricing, your legacy subscription continues under its original terms and can be cancelled any time from your Account page (web) or your device's subscription settings (App Store / Google Play).

We offer refunds on purchases made within the last 7 days. For website purchases, email support@anbiya.net with the email address on your account and the reason for your request — refunds are typically processed within 3–5 business days. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded through the store you bought from.

The family tree is an interactive graph. Pinch or hold ⌘/Ctrl while scrolling to zoom (or use the + and − buttons), drag to pan, and tap any name to open their panel. Every prophet named in the Qurʼan and every figure connected to their stories is on the tree, for everyone.

PDF export is part of Full Access. Select any figure in the tree by clicking their node, then click the PDF export button in their info panel. The exported PDF includes the figure's details, relationships, and any personal study notes you've written.

You do — every figure in the dataset is on the tree for everyone, including Maryam, Hājar, Sārah, Āsiya, Luqmān, Dhū al-Qarnayn, Ṭālūt, and Firʿawn. If a name seems missing, it may be one of the contextual figures (peoples, unnamed family members) that appear on the Prophetic Notes page rather than as a node. Full Access adds the tools for scoping the view by era and relationship type.

Each figure is colour-coded by the era and section of the prophetic story they belong to — Early Prophets, Abrahamic Line, Prophets of Banī Isrāʾīl, the Time of ʿĪsā, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and Notable Figures. These are broadly chronological era tags. The legend above the graph lists every color, and with Full Access you can use the era chips to show or hide whole sections. (This taxonomy is provisional — see "Who reviewed Anbiya's data?" below.)

Full Access unlocks the Filters menu above the tree. The relationship filter toggles connection types — Parent/child, Spouse, Sibling, Ancestor, Relative, Successor, Contemporary, Companion, and Adversary. The era filter toggles whole sections (Early Prophets through the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). Click any chip to show or hide it, and "Reset" to clear. Free users can open the menu to see what it does.

The "Trace lineage" button (free for everyone) highlights the lineage spine from Ādam to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and dims everything else. Solid gray edges are direct parent-to-child links; a dotted, muted edge marks a traditional connection — such as Ismāʿīl to the Prophet ﷺ — that rests on tradition rather than the Qurʼan itself. Click the button again, or "Show all," to return to the full graph.

The Qurʼan names the prophets but is not written as a continuous genealogy, so Anbiya anchors the graph in the Qurʼan and supplements it carefully from authenticated hadith and classical tafsir — always labelling the source. Connections that rest on tradition, including narrations of Jewish or Christian origin (Isrāʾīliyyāt), are drawn with a dotted, muted edge in the graph, labeled "per tradition" in the relationship list, and explained on the Prophetic Notes page. Each figure also carries a source label — Qurʼan, ṣaḥīḥ hadith, tafsīr, or tradition. They are never presented as definitive.

Each prophet's story is told in five parts — the beginning, the call, the sign, the test, the outcome — plus the lesson, and every line carries the sūrah and āyah it rests on; tap a reference to read the āyah in place. The duʿāʾ are the supplications the Qurʼan records in a figure's own words, quoted from the muṣḥaf (and checked against it mechanically before release) with a transliteration and a plain English rendering of our own. Name notes say what a name means or where it comes from, and carry a source label when the meaning is from tradition rather than the Qurʼan. Like the rest of the dataset, all of this was compiled with AI assistance and has not yet been reviewed by scholars — the citations are there so you can check.

Honestly: no one yet. The dataset was compiled with AI assistance from the Qurʼanic text, authenticated hadith, and classical tafsir, with every entry carrying a source label and certainty flag — but it has not been reviewed by qualified Islamic-studies scholars. Please verify anything you rely on against the Qurʼan itself and consult your local scholars. If you are qualified to review the dataset, or you spot an error, we would be genuinely grateful to hear from you via the Contact page. The full methodology is on the Prophetic Notes page.

Browse by Sūrah and Key Appearances draw from two different views. Browse by Sūrah casts a wider net — a figure is listed under a sūrah if they appear in it at all. Key Appearances is a curated list of the specific āyāt where that figure is most directly and notably present. This is intentional — Browse by Sūrah helps you discover where figures turn up across the Qurʼan, while Key Appearances focuses on the figure's own story.

With Full Access, go to your Account page and click "Manage Study Sets." Click "+ New Study Set," give it a title and an optional description, and select the prophets and figures to include using the people picker. Once saved, you can open the study set in Teaching Mode for a class or study circle.

Teaching Mode (part of Full Access) presents the family tree full-screen with larger nodes and labels so it reads clearly when projected to a group. You can focus it on one of your study sets so the class follows a single curriculum at a time.
