How To Understand 85% of The Quran Coursebook By Drs. Islam Fekry

Allah revealed the Qur'an in Arabic — and understanding it in its original language is one of the most profound ways a Muslim can deepen their relationship with His Book. How to Understand 85% of the Qur'an by Dr. Islam Fekry is a comprehensive coursebook that makes Qur'anic Arabic accessible through a practical, structured method that delivers results faster than most traditional approaches — without sacrificing the genuine understanding that makes vocabulary meaningful.

The coursebook is supported by a companion app (available on iOS and Android) that adds audio pronunciation, an adaptive learning algorithm, custom vocabulary lists, and self-testing tools — making this one of the most fully supported Qur'anic Arabic learning resources available.

What This Course Covers

The High-Frequency Vocabulary of the Qur'an

85% of the Qur'an is made up of a relatively small set of high-frequency words and root patterns. The course focuses its vocabulary instruction on these words first — teaching each in context with explanation, so that students build genuine comprehension rather than rote word lists. This approach means rapid, meaningful progress from the very beginning.

Grammar Taught in Context

Rather than front-loading abstract grammar rules, the course introduces grammatical concepts as they arise in the vocabulary being learned — with clear explanations, relevant exceptions, and contextual examples from the Qur'an itself. Students learn why words take the forms they do as they encounter them, rather than in a separate theoretical chapter.

A Clear Learning Routine for Self-Study

The coursebook provides a structured routine that self-study learners can follow independently — with exercises, practice sessions, and checkpoints that make steady progress measurable and achievable without a classroom setting.
