Read real Classical Arabic, one word at a time.
Maktabati is a quiet reading room for anyone learning fuṣḥā. Open a classical text, tap any word, and see what it means in that sentence, along with its root, dictionary form and grammar. Save the words you meet, quiz yourself on them, and earn screen time for the reading you do.
READ CLASSICAL TEXTS Begin with Qaṣaṣ an-Nabiyyīn, the Stories of the Prophets by Abū al-Ḥasan an-Nadwī: fully voweled, set in clear Arabic type, and divided into short chapters. Choose from three Arabic fonts and the size that suits your eyes, and Maktabati opens on the page where you stopped. Tell us which classical text you'd like next, right from the Library.
EVERY WORD EXPLAINED Tap a word to see its meaning in context, its transliteration, and hear it pronounced. Open it further for: • its parts, such as the article al- and the stem • its dictionary form, pattern and part of speech • its meanings in plain English • its plural, feminine and other forms • its root, and other words built from it
KEEP THE WORDS YOU MEET Save any word to your flashcards with one tap. Each card shows the word's root and dictionary form, and earns stars as you answer it correctly, moving from new to learning, familiar and mastered. Group words into decks to study them together.
QUIZ YOURSELF IN A MINUTE Each question shows a word and seven meanings. Right answers move words toward mastery, and the results show you the words to look at again.
EARN YOUR SCREEN TIME Choose the apps that pull you away and give them a balance of minutes. Every minute you read and every quiz answer you get right adds a minute, up to the limit you set. When the balance runs out, Maktabati can block those apps until you've read a little more. Focus uses Apple's Screen Time, and the apps you choose stay private on your device.
WATCH YOURSELF GROW Keep a daily streak, see this week's reading at a glance, and follow your words mastered, roots met and quiz accuracy. Eight achievements, each with levels, mark the way.
