Maktabati: Islamic Books

Sit with the scholars. Read classical Islamic books and hadith in their original Arabic, with an Arabic dictionary under every word.

The classical books of Islam hold immense benefit, but printed editions are expensive and often hard to find. Maktabati is a growing Islamic library in your pocket: hadith collections, stories of the prophets and works on character, with the verses of the Qur'an they quote set apart, and an Arabic-English dictionary one tap from every word.

A GROWING LIBRARY OF ISLAMIC BOOKS
Books include Imam an-Nawawi's Forty Hadith, the Forty Hadith Qudsi, Abu al-Hasan an-Nadwi's Stories of the Prophets, a work on the character of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and works by Ibn al-Jawzi and Ibn al-Qayyim. New Islamic books arrive in the library as they're added, with no app update needed. Beginner books are fully vowelled, with a recording of every word. Short chapters, three Arabic fonts, any text size, two columns on iPad, and the book opens where you stopped.

EVERY WORD, ONE TAP AWAY
Tap a word to see what it means in its sentence and hear it read. Open the full dictionary entry for:
• its parts, such as the article al- and the stem
• its dictionary form, pattern and part of speech
• its meanings in plain English, each also explained in Arabic
• example sentences from the books
• its plural, feminine and other forms
• its root, with a page for every root and the words built from it

FIND A WORD
Search a book for an Arabic word, with or without vowels and in all its forms, or for an English word in the translation, and jump to every place it appears.

KEEP THE WORDS YOU MEET
Save a word with one tap as you read. Your saved words become flashcards that earn stars as you review them, and you can group them into decks. A one-minute review asks about the words you need most. Premium adds two word games, Root Garden and Sentence Builder.

READ MORE, SCROLL LESS
Maktabati is also an app blocker that rewards reading. Choose the apps that pull you away and give them a balance of screen time. Every minute you read, and every review answer you get right, earns a minute, up to the limit you set. When the balance runs out, Maktabati can block those apps until you've read a little more. Focus uses Apple's Screen Time, and the apps you choose stay private on your device.

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
Sign in with Apple or Google, if you like, to keep your saved words, decks and reading place on your iPhone and iPad. No account is needed to read, and the books work offline.

A DAILY READING HABIT
Keep a daily streak, see this week's reading at a glance, and get a daily reminder with a short, inspiring message. Achievements mark the way.
