The idea

words is half the Quran
A small core of words appears again and again. Learn the 300 most frequent and you can recognise 50% of every word on the page. QuranLingo teaches 1,200, taking you past 69%.
Why it works
Built to make the words stick
Not flashcards you forget. A method designed around how memory actually works.
Review that sticks
Spaced repetition brings each word back right before you'd forget it, so it moves into long-term memory.
Words in context
See every word inside the verses it actually appears in, and trace 191 Arabic root families to connect related meanings.
Heard, not synthesised
Words are pronounced by a qari reciting the Quran, not a robotic voice, so you learn how each word truly sounds.
Stay motivated
Daily streaks, weekly leagues, and head-to-head duels with friends keep the habit going.
Memorize with Hifdh
A clear, step-by-step path to commit verses to memory - with confidence, not guesswork.
Made thoughtfully
Calm, geometric design. Available in English, Urdu & French, with light and dark modes.
How it works
A few minutes a day
Small, consistent steps that add up to real understanding.
Learn a handful of words
Short lessons introduce new words with sound, script, and meaning - no overwhelm.
Review at the right time
The app schedules each word to return just as you're about to forget it.
Watch the Quran open up
Words you've learned start jumping out of verses, prayer, and recitation.
Words in context
Every word, rooted in the Quran
Meaning sticks when it's connected. QuranLingo shows each word where it actually appears, and reveals the Arabic root it grows from - so one word teaches you a whole family.
- ◆ Tap any word in a surah to reveal its meaning
- ◆ Explore root families and see how meanings connect
- ◆ A special 30-day Ramadan challenge each year
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

"All praise is due to God, Lord of all the worlds."
Questions
Good to know
Is QuranLingo free?
Yes - all learning content is free. An optional Premium subscription adds convenience features like unlimited hearts, offline lessons, and advanced analytics, but you never need it to keep learning.
Do I need to know Arabic already?
Not at all. QuranLingo starts from the very beginning and teaches the most frequent Quranic words first, so you build real understanding from zero.
How is this different from a dictionary?
A dictionary tells you a word once. QuranLingo teaches it actively - short lessons plus spaced repetition make words stick, and you see each one inside real verses and root families.
Can it help me memorize the Quran?
Yes. Hifdh mode gives you a clear, step-by-step path to memorize verses with confidence, alongside your vocabulary learning.
Which platforms is it on?
QuranLingo launches on iPhone, iPad and Android together on 25 August 2026. The app is available in English, Urdu, and French.
