Fusha
Understand the words of the Quran.
Understanding the Quran is a vocabulary course inside Fusha. It teaches the words that occur most often in the Quran first, in 57 short lessons, so every lesson makes more of the text recognisable.
A few hundred words carry most of the text.
Arabic word frequency is steep. Learn the most common words first and every lesson pays off in verses you already recite. Fusha shows you how far you have come.

One short lesson, then the review does the rest.
Learn a lesson
Your next lesson waits on the home screen as the daily Learn task. Each lesson is a small set of words, every one with full harakat, its root and an example.
Keep the words
The words go into a deck for their chapter and into your daily review, next to everything else you have looked up. Nothing to organise yourself.
See the Quran open up
After every lesson Fusha tells you which share of the words in the Quran you now know. Watching that number climb is a good reason to open the app tomorrow.
The details that matter when you read the Quran.
- Full harakat
- Every word appears with its vowel marks, the way you see it in a vocalised mushaf.
- Root and family
- See the three root letters and the words built on them. Quranic vocabulary is full of word families.
- Forgiving search
- Type a bare alif where the text has a hamza, or leave out the vowels: Fusha still finds the word.
- Words from anywhere
- Meet a word in a lecture or a tafsir? Look it up and it joins the same review as your course words.
Ten minutes a day
- ReviewThe words that are due today, from the course and from your own lookups.
- LearnOne new lesson when you have time for it. Skipping a day is fine; the review keeps your words alive.
- ReadRecite or read a short passage and look up the words that stop you.

How to learn Quran Arabic: start with the words
A few hundred words carry most of the text. Why a word-first approach beats starting with grammar tables, and what a realistic daily routine looks like.
10 August 2026What are Arabic harakat, and why is Arabic written without them?
The small marks that carry Arabic's short vowels: what the eight of them do, why almost every text leaves them out, and why that means you cannot sound out a word you do not already know.
3 September 2026How to look up an Arabic word when you do not know the root
Arabic dictionaries are sorted by root, not alphabetically. How to strip a word back to its three letters, the four places a root hides, and what to do when it will not show up.
19 August 2026About the course.
Do I need to read Arabic script first?
Yes, it helps a lot. The course assumes you can read letters with their vowel marks, even slowly. If you cannot yet, learn the alphabet and the harakat first; a few weeks of short daily practice is usually enough.
Does the course cover the whole Quran?
It covers the words that occur most often, which together make up about 64.5% of the text. The rest are rarer words, and those are easiest to learn when you meet them: look them up in Fusha and they join your daily review.
Is the Quran course free?
The course is part of the app, and every part of the app works on the free plan. See pricing for what Fusha Plus changes.
Can I use it next to a class or a teacher?
Yes. Follow the course at home and look up the words from your class as well. Put those in a deck per lesson, and everything comes back in the same daily review.
