Q01

What is Quran85?

Quran85 is a free, scientifically structured Arabic curriculum that teaches the 300 core words needed to understand roughly 85% of the Qurʾān. It combines root-based learning, real-verse context, and spaced repetition — no gamification, no watered-down content.

Q02

Is Quran85 really free?

Yes — forever. No premium tier, no ads, no paywall. The platform is funded entirely by donations from Muslims who want to support free Qurʾānic education as sadaqah jāriyah.

Q03

Do I need to know Arabic to start?

No. The Beginner course starts from zero — foundational particles, pronouns, and connectors. If you can read the Arabic alphabet, you can begin today.

Q04

How many words do I actually need to understand the Qurʾān?

Roughly 300 carefully chosen words cover about 85% of the Qurʾān by frequency. The curriculum is sequenced so each word you learn unlocks the maximum number of verses.

Q05

How long does it take to complete the courses?

Most learners finish the Beginner course in 4–6 weeks at 15 minutes a day. The full path (Beginner → Intermediate → Master) typically takes 6–9 months of consistent practice.

Q06

What makes Quran85 different from other Quran learning apps?

Most apps gamify with streaks and points. Quran85 is built around the classical pedagogy of discovery → manifestation → calibration → application. Every lesson grounds a word in a real Qurʾānic verse with full grammatical analysis.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ

And We have certainly made the Qurʼān easy for remembrance.
