Why This Site Exists
Arabic Reader was created to make classical Arabic texts accessible to modern English readers. Search a library of 63,000+ digitized classical works, import any book, and read it with an ever-present helper: tap a word for dictionary and grammar analysis, drag across a phrase for a contextual translation, and listen as natural Arabic voices read the page aloud. Start with our carefully prepared classic, صور من حياة الصحابة (Glimpses from the Lives of the Companions) — no account needed.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional Islamic scholarship and contemporary digital learning, making these invaluable texts available to a global audience. Built for students of knowledge.
