Khatt teaches you to write Arabic by hand, one stroke at a time. Short lessons take you from alif to hamza: watch each letter being written, trace it, copy it, then write it from memory, while Khatt checks your writing the way a teacher would. LEARN STEP BY STEP • A path of short lessons with XP, a daily goal and streaks. • All 36 letters: the 28 letters, hamza and its seats, tā' marbūṭa and alif maqṣūra, in every positional form. • Quick games between writing exercises: pick the letter, tap what you hear, match the pairs. • Spaced repetition brings letters back just before you would forget them. FEEDBACK ON EVERY STROKE • Stroke order, direction, missing dots, proportions and stray ink are all checked. • After each check your ink slides onto the model, so you see exactly where you went wrong. • Place dots with a single tap. WRITE HADITH • 22 short, authentic hadith to write word by word. The page glides along the line, so even a long sentence is easy. • Finish with a levha in your own handwriting. • Every hadith is checked against two copies of the Sunnah.com collection and shown with its reference, grade and published English translation. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • A manuscript-inspired design with the sound of a reed pen on paper. • With Apple Pencil: pressure-sensitive ink, palm rejection and double-tap to undo. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets and an optional daily reminder. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Khatt is available in English, Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, Persian, Bengali and French. Hadith meanings are shown in their published English translation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Khatt works fully offline. There is no account, no ads and no tracking, and your progress stays on your device. Letter shapes are from the Noto Naskh Arabic typeface (SIL Open Font License).
