Arabic for Beginners

Your first steps into the language of the Quran

"The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it."

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Bukhari)

You do not need to be fluent in Arabic to be a good Muslim. But learning the letters opens the door to reading the Quran in its original language — one of the most rewarding journeys you can take.

Arabic has 28 letters. Each letter changes shape depending on its position in a word. Tap any letter to see its forms and pronunciation.
