## What is Qaaf?

Learn 500 words. Understand 80% of the Quran.

The Quran uses about 80,000 words. But most of them repeat. Learn the 500 most frequent ones and you will recognise roughly four out of every five words on the page - not in translation, but in the Arabic itself.

Qaaf is built around that one fact.

WHAT YOU GET

• The 500 highest-frequency Quran words, ordered by how often they appear - so the very first word you learn is one you will meet hundreds of times.
• Real Arabic recitation by a native speaker for every word. Never AI-generated.
• Every meaning and root verified against Hans Wehr and Lane's Lexicon.
• Ayahs drawn from the canonical Uthmani text.
• Spaced repetition that quietly schedules each word for the day you are about to forget it.
• Works completely offline. No account, no sign-up, no backend.
• English and Urdu throughout.

HOW IT WORKS

Ten minutes a day. Qaaf shows you a word in Arabic, plays it aloud, and gives you its meaning and root. Then it tests you - reading, listening, recall, and schedules the word to return exactly when it should.

Progress never resets. Your streak, your words learned, your review history - all of it accumulates.

WHO IT IS FOR

If you pray in Arabic but do not understand it. If you have read the translation many times and want to meet the words themselves. If you started learning Arabic and stopped.

You do not need prior Arabic. Qaaf teaches the words, the roots, and the sounds together.

WHAT QAAF WILL NOT DO

No ads, ever. No public leaderboards. No streak-shaming. The first 20 words are free and genuinely useful - not a crippled demo.

If the supporter tier is out of reach for you - student budget, a currency that makes the price punishing, simply unable right now - open Settings and unlock the full library for free. We would rather you have the words.

A share of every supporter's contribution funds Arabic-teaching stipends for students in underserved communities.
