About this app

Stop drilling flashcards. Start remembering.

You don't forget a word you met inside a story you cared about. That's the
whole idea behind Hikayat. Instead of grinding word lists that evaporate by
morning, you learn Arabic vocabulary the way it actually sticks — in
context, inside real stories you want to finish, with every word one tap
from its meaning.

WHY STORIES BEAT FLASHCARDS
Rote memorisation gives you words with no hooks. A story gives every word a
place, a moment, a reason to stick. You meet a word in Musa's story, hear it
spoken, tap it once to understand it — and it stays, because your brain
filed it somewhere real. Traditional drilling is boring and it fades.
Reading is engaging and it lasts.

WHO THIS IS FOR
If you can sound out Arabic letters but lose the meaning — Hikayat is built
for you. Learners reconnecting with Quranic Arabic, students past the
alphabet stage, and anyone who wants to actually read Arabic instead of
memorising vocabulary that never turns into fluency.

TAP ANY WORD TO UNDERSTAND IT
Stuck on a word? Tap it. You get the meaning, the root, and the part of
speech — without leaving the sentence. Hide the English when you're ready to
challenge yourself.

GRADED FROM A1 TO B2
Every series is levelled to the CEFR scale, from complete beginner to
upper-intermediate. Start where you actually are. Bridge stories step you up
smoothly rather than dropping you off a cliff.

NATIVE NARRATION FOR EVERY CHAPTER
Professional Arabic narrators read every chapter. Follow along sentence by
sentence, shadow the reader to train your ear, or use hands-free mode and
listen like an audiobook with lock-screen controls. Hear the word, don't
just see it.

A WORD BANK BUILT FROM YOUR OWN READING
Save words as you meet them. Review them with quizzes built only from words
you've really encountered in stories — not a generic frequency list.
Comprehension questions check you followed the story, not just the
vocabulary. This is spaced review that's actually tied to something you
remember.

STORIES OF THE PROPHETS
Musa and Pharaoh. Yusuf the Truthful. Nuh and the Flood. Ibrahim, Friend of
God. Yunus and the Whale. Dawud and Sulayman. Ayyub the Patient. Salih and
the She-Camel. Told as multi-episode series in authentic Arabic, graded to a
level you can handle.

A LIBRARY THAT KEEPS GROWING
Beyond the Prophets: fables, everyday-life stories, and lessons in good
character — Islamic and everyday themes the whole family can read. Generate
a fresh story tuned to your level whenever you want something new.
