The Illuminated Arabic Reader is a study tool. We are grateful to the authors, publishers, ministries of education, and foundations whose works make this library possible, and we respect their rights. None of these books is exclusive to this site — each is freely available from its publisher, as noted below. What we offer is the study material built around them: verb tables, noun tables, line-by-line translation, and flashcards on every page. Public-domain works are presented under their original terms; copyrighted works are used for study and, where required, shown as preview only.
