# AyaQuest — Full Reference

## Identity
AyaQuest is a kid-first iOS Quran app teaching the *meaning* of each surah to children ages 7–9 through illustrated story-format lessons. It includes "Aya," a stylized crescent-moon AI helper bounded to a curated Quran library and mainstream tafsir.

Maker: AyaQuest. Website: https://ayaquest.ai. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ayaquest/id6764897298. Contact: hello@ayaquest.ai.

## Audience
- Primary: Muslim parents of children ages 7–9.
- Adjacent tiers: 5–7 (shorter beats, more illustration) and 10–12 (richer context, reflection prompts).
- Designed for English-language households whose children attend weekend madrasah or supplementary Islamic school for recitation.

## What each lesson looks like
A 5–10 minute illustrated story with these beats: setup → story → choice prompt → resolution → reflection → optional quiz → garden reward. Walk-with-Aya audio mode reads the story aloud for bedtime use. Lessons are cached on device once viewed and continue to work offline.

## Aya — AI scope
Aya answers a child's wondering bounded to:
1. The Quran text and translation.
2. A curated library of mainstream tafsir.
3. AyaQuest's own surah stories.

Aya never:
- Browses the open web.
- Generates new hadith or rulings.
- Speculates on jurisprudence.
- Depicts the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the other prophets, angels, or the Ka'bah's interior figuratively.
- Goes off-script in tone or content.

Every Aya message is visible to parents in the dashboard. One tap flags any message for review.
