Download the Khalaf Quran APK, a digital project by Deccan Dewan.
A lightweight, offline Qur'an reader for the recitation of Khalaf ʿan Ḥamzah —
available on Android, Windows, and Linux —
one of the rare qiraat apps dedicated to this riwayah — featuring audio, bookmarks,
and seamless Surah & Juz navigation.
Khalaf ʿan Ḥamzah (خلف عن حمزة) is one of the recognized riwayat (narrations)
of Qur'an recitation within the canonical ten qiraat system, transmitted through
Khalaf ibn Hisham from the reciter Ḥamzah al-Zayyat. It is less widespread globally
than Ḥafs ʿan ʿAsim or Warsh ʿan Nafi, and is mostly studied in advanced tajwid and
qiraat programs. The Khalaf Quran app was built to give this riwayah a dedicated,
offline-friendly home on Android, Windows, and Linux.
