Question 1

Is this free?

Accepted Answer

Reading is free. The story books and the full Arabic school curriculum (Grade 2–10) are free to read on every page — no sign-up. The study material (verb & noun tables, line-by-line translation, flashcards) is free for the first 20 pages of each book; a subscription unlocks it across the whole book. Copyrighted textbooks are not distributed here — upload your own copy to study them.

Question 2

Why use this instead of a PDF?

Accepted Answer

A PDF is inert — you can't search inside it, the answer key lives in a different file, and the dictionary is in a third tab. Here every page renders the Arabic alongside its verb table, noun table, line-by-line English, and exercise answers. Cmd+F searches the Arabic text directly; ⌘K searches every word across the whole book.

Question 3

What is the Madinah Arabic Book?

Accepted Answer

Dr. V. Abdur Rahim's three-volume course دروس اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها, taught at the Islamic University of Madinah. The standard self-study path into classical/Quranic Arabic for English-speaking learners. It's copyrighted, so we don't distribute it — upload your own copy (PDF) and the reader builds the verb tables, noun tables, translation, and answer keys page by page.

Question 4

What is Al-ʿArabiyyah Bayna Yadayk?

Accepted Answer

العربية بين يديك (also written Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, Bayna Yadayka, or Al-Arabiyya Bayna Yadayk) is the 8-book modern Arabic course from the Arabic For All institute, authored by Dr. Abdul Rahman Al-Fawzan and colleagues. Widely used by online Arabic schools, Saudi-curriculum madrasas, and self-learners moving toward fluency. It's copyrighted, so we don't distribute it — upload your own copy (PDF) to study it here with full tables, translation, and answer keys.

Question 5

What is لغتنا الجميلة (the Arabic school curriculum)?

Accepted Answer

The native-speaker Arabic language curriculum used in Palestinian schools — language, literature, and reading — from Grade 2 through Grade 10, two semesters per grade. Eighteen books in total. Useful for advanced learners who want to read what Arab schoolchildren actually study.

Question 6

How is this different from Duolingo or other apps?

Accepted Answer

This isn't gamified vocab drills. It's a faithful reader for the actual textbooks Arabic teachers assign, augmented with the verb tables, noun tables, and answer keys that learners normally hunt across ten different sites. Built for self-study, classroom companion use, and going deeper than an app can.

Question 7

Does it work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the reader is fully responsive. The page image, verb/noun tables, search, and feedback box all work on phone screens.
