Start with the words you’ll meet most
A small set of words makes up a large share of the Quran. Learn the 500 most frequent first, 25 at a time, and you recognise more of every page, sooner.

- Tap to flip; swipe right when you know it
Every surah, word by word
Open any of the 114 surahs and learn the words of what you recite, ayah by ayah. Each word is marked as a noun, verb or particle, and broken down into its root and parts.
- All 114 surahs, with translation for every ayah
- Nouns, verbs and particles marked as you read
- Save surahs into your own collections
Grammar in small, complete sets
Prepositions, pronouns, the particles that change a verb. Each topic states its rule and gives you every word that follows it, so you learn the whole pattern at once.
- The rule, in Arabic and in plain English
- Every member of the set, with a note on its use
- Learn and review a topic on its own
Remember what you learn
Spaced repetition brings each word back just before you’d forget it. One review covers everything you’ve learned, from the Essential 500, any surah or any topic. Rate how well you remembered, and it schedules the next time.
