خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ

“The best among you are those who learn the Qur’ān and teach it.”

Saḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4820 · Faḍā’il al-Qur’ān
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

“We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān, in order that ye may learn wisdom.”

Sūrat Yūsuf · 12:2
أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ

“Will they not, then, ponder over this Qur’ān? - or are there locks upon their hearts.”

Sūrat Muḥammad · 47:24

Who this is for

Anyone can read here. The text, its translations and the tafāsīr sit side by side, and nothing asks you to know Arabic first.

But the site is built for someone more particular: the student who has learned some grammar and wants more. If you can dissect a sentence, or are learning to, everything is arranged so that the next question is one click away rather than one shelf away.

Hover a word and it shows you its root; click it and Lane’s dictionary, an improved, more accessible version, opens at that root. Ask for the i‘rāb of an āyah and the book opens at the page that parses it. Dictionary, grammar, translation and commentary in one place — so the work of gathering them is already done, and the reading and learning can carry on.

Lane’s Dictionary

Lane is a work you read in columns, where a single root can run for pages and the sense you want is buried in an abbreviation. Here it is broken into one page per root: the entries separated, the senses numbered, the forms listed at the top so you can jump to one. The Arabic is Lane’s own, verbatim; the English is his, rewritten for readability. Each entry also opens with a one-line summary of its meaning, marked generated because that line is the tool’s and not Lane’s. For more details see the Reader’s Key.
