AlRatib

It is a collection of carefully curated verses from the Holy Qur’an, Praise, and Supplications. The Ratib is read/recited at two blessed times: after the morning and afternoon prayers. One of its most important worldly benefits is that it serves as a source of spiritual sustenance, happiness, and self-confidence and leads to a healthy state of psychological well-being. The Ratib App features access to the complete text of Al Ratib on a Phone or Tablet (Android or IOS), a Search Feature for effortlessly searching or locating any text or word in Al-Ratib, and Bookmarks functionality, which allows users to add bookmarks and quickly pick up where they left off with their reading. The writer of “Al-Rateb” is Muhammad Ahmed bin Abdullah, the Mahdi, a Sudanese leader, and religious figure who led the Mahdist revolution against Turkish-Egyptian rule in Sudan in the nineteenth century. His birth on Labab Island in the city of Dongola in northern Sudan in 1843 AD marked the beginning of a remarkable journey. He received religious and Sufi education in various orders, gathering an army of supporters and fighting numerous battles against the Turkish, Egyptian and British forces. His triumph in liberating Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, in 1885 AD and establishing the Mahdist state, which ruled Sudan for more than 14 years, is a testament to his leadership and faith. His legacy lives on, inspiring generations to come. The Arabic word "Ratib" is derived (both as an adjective and as a noun) from the Arabic verb "Rattaba - a past tense meaning, "put in order". It applies to anything done, read, received, or given in a particular regular order of time.
