Open Elifba

Open Elifba is a free, open-source app designed to help you learn to read Arabic script — from the very first letter to advanced Tajweed (Quran recitation) rules.

LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE Whether you are an absolute beginner or looking to sharpen your Tajweed knowledge, Open Elifba guides you through a structured curriculum with clear, bite-sized lessons organized into categories.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Arabic Letters — Recognize and pronounce all 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet. • Letter Forms — Learn how each letter changes shape at the beginning, middle, and end of a word. • Diacritics (Harakat) — Master Fatha, Kasra, Damma, Sukun, Shadda, and Tanween. • Vowel Lengthening (Madd) — Understand Natural Madd, Connected Madd, Disconnected Madd, Necessary Madd, Temporary Madd, and Soft Madd. • Tajweed Rules — Practice Ikhfā' (Concealment), Izhār (Clear Pronunciation), Idgham (Merging), Iqlāb (Letter Change), Qalqalah (Echoing Sound), and more. • Pronoun Rules — Learn extended and non-extended pronoun rules. • Lafzatullah — Study the special pronunciation rules for the word "Allah."

AUDIO-GUIDED PRACTICE Every exercise comes with native audio pronunciations. Tap the card to hear the correct sound and practice until you get it right.

SMART SPACED REPETITION Open Elifba uses a spaced repetition system to intelligently schedule your reviews. Exercises you've mastered appear less frequently, while ones that need practice come back sooner — so you spend your time where it matters most.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • See your accuracy rate and average response speed for each category. • Monitor how many exercises you've reviewed vs. how many remain. • Categories are color-coded to highlight what needs attention.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED A clean, modern interface with dark mode support. Elegant card-based exercises with smooth animations make learning feel effortless.

12 LANGUAGES SUPPORTED The app interface is available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and Danish — so you can navigate in the language you're most comfortable with.

FREE & OPEN SOURCE Open Elifba is completely free with no in-app purchases. The source code is openly available, making it a community-driven project you can trust.
