Friday and holy-night cards
Virdim makes a new card every Friday and on every holy night, Laylat al-Qadr, eve of Eid and Eid in its calendar. Each card has the greeting of the day, the Arabic of a verse, its translation and its reference, and goes to WhatsApp in one tap.
What the card says
| Day | Title | Greeting |
|---|---|---|
| Friday | Blessed Friday | — |
| Holy nights | The name of the night (for example Laylat al-Raghaib) | May this blessed night bring you peace |
| Laylat al-Qadr | Laylat al-Qadr | A blessed Laylat al-Qadr |
| Eve of Eid | Eve of Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha | A blessed eve |
| Eid | Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha | Eid Mubarak |
| First day of Ramadan | First day of Ramadan | Ramadan Mubarak |
| Islamic New Year, Ashura, the three holy months | The name of the day | A blessed day |
Below the title come the Arabic of a verse, its English translation by Marmaduke Pickthall (1930) and its reference (surah name and verse number). The title and greeting are Virdim's own words; the verse, translation and reference are never changed. A small virdim.com watermark sits at the bottom of the card.

Example verses from the cards
For each card day the app picks one verse from that day's pool. These are three examples from the pools.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -
Ad-Dukhaan 44:3
