U-Quran : A 3-Step Program Towards Understanding The Arabic Of The Quran

The Miracle of Qur’anic Arabic – Easy Access for All

Understand 30% of the words of the Qur’an within 20 hours! Start translating simple Qur’anic phrases within a few days! This is the Miracle of Qur’anic Arabic.

U-Quran is designed to help you attain your goal by providing you a structured lesson-by-lesson 3 step approach towards building your Qur’anic vocabulary. Stripped away are all the distractions that are often part of traditional Arabic language courses, and instead what you are presented with is a very streamlined approach that teaches you the most in the least amount of time. 

U-Quran maximizes your effort by:
1)Focusing on the most repeated words in the Qur’an
2)Grouping words with common roots in the same lesson
3)Being very selective on what grammar rules to present and when to present them
4)Immersing students immediately into the process of translating Qur’anic Ayat’s
5)Designing each lesson to take about 30 minutes

Each Lesson is structured as follows:
1)Word Review: Presentation of 10 to 15 words for that lesson
2)Drills: Review drills to reinforce lesson words
3)Exercises: Further word reinforcement by translating ayats that contain current (and past) lesson words

More about U-Quran:
U-Quran is short for “Understanding Qur’anic Arabic for the English Speaking”. The focus of this program is to allow a Muslim to connect directly with the Qur’an in Arabic, the language that it was originally revealed. Allah(S) in all His wisdom revealed the Qur’an in Arabic, and did so in the first instance to Arabs to whom the language of the Qur’an was their own. In Surah Ibrahim, verse 4 Allah(S) says:
AND NEVER have We sent forth any apostle otherwise than [with a message] in his own people's tongue, so that he might make [the truth] clear unto them; but God lets go astray him that wills [to go astray], and guides him that wills [to be guided] -for He alone is almighty, truly wise. (14:4)

But today the vast majorities of Muslims do not speak or understand Arabic, and the task of learning another language is just too daunting. But Allah(S) knows all, and one of the miracles of the Qur’an is that as rich as the message of the Qur’an is, the vocabulary used to deliver its’ message is actually very small! For Allah(S) says:
For example, of the seven days of the week in the Arabic language, the Qur’an only uses the word Juma and Sabt (Friday and Saturday). Another example includes the months of the year where our of the 12 months in the Arabic language the Qur'an only mentions Ramadan. And of the multitude of numbers that exist the Qur'an uses only 1 thru 12, 19, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 99, 100, 200, 300, 1000, 3000, 5000, and 50,000. 
Now If one has to start with Arabic language as a whole (as in a traditional Arabic class) he/she will probably have to memorize all the names of the months, days of the week and numbers up to 50,000 to be able to comprehend just the 32 items mentioned above. Would it not be a lot easier to just learn the 32 items? 

In this first installment of U-Quran we cover 206 words. Out of the 52,585 words contained within the entire Qur’an, these 206 words (with repetition) account for 15,914 of those words. That’s an amazing 30.3% of the words in the entire Qur’an. Imagine learning just 206 words and being able to access 30% of the Qur’an in Arabic! 

Think about it: In what language, and in which book can you get this result? Unless the Qur’an is easy, you cannot achieve so much in so little effort. So has said Allah(S), the Almighty:
 
But We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? (54:22)

Excellent work! it would be great if application also work in landscape formate. it is a good learning experience. I would like if you also add Quranic dictionary and few more information from Dr Abdul Aziz web site i.e. understand Quran. Jazkallah kher.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2013-06-13*

There are literal mistakes on the first lesson so I did not even go beyond that. I found it unacceptable and was surprised and disappointed that an app was put on the market with such basic mistakes.

I asked for my money back months ago and have still not received the check.

For something as important as Quran, it is important to buy an app that has specialists in the language who review the material.

I apologize for not coming on here sooner and updating my review. The developer did contact me several times to try and return my money to me. I appreciate that.

As for my review, it has not changed because as per my understanding there are no arabic language experts working or reviewing this app. If I am incorrect, please correct me and note your qualifications in the description!

### 5/5 — Excellent App for Quran

*2013-01-19*

Excellent educational app to learn Quranic Arabic. Doesn't bog you down in complicated grammar rules and instead let's you focus on the words of the Quran itself. You start translating short verses from lesson 1!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2012-11-23*

My kids and I are using the app, it's great!  I understand the latest content release fixed a couple of words which were incorrectly labeled as a noun.  It's a very easy to use free flowing app which got me started from lesson 1.  Thanks Blu Yeti!
