Say a word. Hear it. Find it.
Only for iPhone

iPhone
Say any word of the Qur'an and hear it back. Meaning, grammar, root tables and the ayah it lives in — all offline, no ads, nothing collected.
Say any word of the Qur'an out loud — or type it in English letters — and find it, with what it means, how it is built, and the ayah it lives in. Then hear it read back in Arabic. Everything is on your iPhone: no internet, no ads, no tracking.
FIND A WORD BY ITS SOUND
Press the microphone and say the word the way it is recited. The search does not look for exact letters: it reduces what you said to the sounds it is made of and ranks all 18,993 words of the Qur'an by how near they come. The article ٱل is optional, vowel marks never matter, and a near miss still finds the word. Under the best match you also see the words a listener could confuse it with — ح against ه, س against ص.
Listening is done by the speech recogniser built into iOS; this app records nothing.
HEAR IT SPOKEN
Voice search answers in voice: it says what it heard, repeats the word in Arabic, and tells you the similar-sounding words are below. Open any word and it is pronounced. Tap any Arabic word on any screen — a particle, a rigid noun, a form in a root table — and hear it. Tap the ayah example and the whole passage is read.
The pronunciation follows the vowel marks exactly, so a verb form is read as the form it is: yansuru, not yansara. It uses the Arabic voice on your iPhone; for the most natural one, download the Enhanced or Premium Arabic voice under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices.
TYPE IT AS IT SOUNDS
No Arabic keyboard needed. Type hamd, layl, or dhul-qarnain and the word appears. For a word carrying the article, add a dash: al-hamdu, ar-rahman, ash-shams. A built-in letter guide shows how to write each Arabic letter in English, and letters that share a sound share a spelling — s finds both س and ص.
EVERY WORD, EXPLAINED
Each of the 18,993 distinct words carries:
• its meaning as the Qur'an actually uses it, from the word-by-word renderings
• the dictionary sense, when it adds something
• its grammar in plain words — "perfect verb, Form IV, 3rd person masculine plural"
• the particles and pronouns attached to it, each explained
• a Qur'anic example with the words around it and their meanings
• every place it occurs, with the surrounding words a tap away
• the other words built on the same root, one tap from its full tables
ALL 86 PARTICLES
Every حرف the Qur'an uses, grouped the way the grammarians group them — prepositions, conjunctions, particles of negation, condition, question, emphasis, answer and more — each with all the meanings it can carry, with the pronouns and question words beside them.
WORDS THAT SOUND ALIKE
1,216 sets of Qur'anic words that a listener could take for one another: words written with the same letters and read with different vowels, and words written with different letters that make nearly the same sound.
THE FULL ROOT TABLES
A complete صرف reference: all 941 verb roots of the Qur'an, form by form (I to X), with one table per form — perfect, imperfect, imperative, verbal nouns, participles and the derived nouns, each marked as Qur'anic or dictionary. Every occurrence is shown inside its ayah, and every form can be tapped to hear it.
And the 188 rigid nouns — the Qur'an's nouns that come from no verb at all — each with the part of the ayah its meaning came from.
HOW IT WAS BUILT
Word grammar and roots follow the Quranic Arabic Corpus; renderings follow its translation data; dictionary senses come from Wiktionary, checked against the Qur'an's own renderings; the text is set in the Amiri Quran typeface. Every claim can be checked on the About page.
WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO
It does not connect to the internet. It shows no advertisements. It collects nothing about you. The only permission it asks for is to hear the word you say. It is the work of one person who wanted to look up the words he heard in recitation — paid once, nothing more to unlock.
If a word or a table looks wrong to you, say so in a review or by email: corrections are checked against the sources and shipped.

Version 5.5
• Speech rendering improved: the ayah is read as one flowing phrase, every Arabic letter is pronounced as it is written, and a tapped word always speaks.
• Voice search says the word back as you said it, and points you to the similar sounding words from the Quran.
• Still offline. Still nothing collected.
