Why people love it

A game that teaches the language of the Qur’an

Short, peaceful puzzles that fit into any day, with words chosen from the Qur’an, the prayer and the Seerah.

A Kalimāt puzzle: a grid of Arabic letters with the word shams (sun) being traced

نُور · شَمْس · فَجْر

Find the words of the Qur’an

Arabic reads right to left: drag from the first letter to the last, or tap both. Grids grow from 6×6 to 10×10 as you grow, with diagonals, reversed words and gentle decoys.

  • Real Arabic letters and words, no transliteration games
  • Hints and a shuffle when a word hides too well
  • Glowing letters hide one more word in every level
The word shams shown large with its meaning Sun and the words Mā shāʾ Allāh

اِسْمَعْ · قُلْ · اِفْهَمْ

Hear every word, then say it

Each word you find is shown with its vowels, spoken aloud, and given its meaning and transliteration. Later chapters turn it around: you hear the word, or read its meaning, and find it by yourself.

  • Clear pronunciation, with a slower voice for beginners
  • Your own lexicon of every word you have found
  • Spaced review brings words back before they fade

Safe & private

Made for everyone, built with care

Kalimāt is calm, kind and honest by design, and families stay in charge of everything that goes online.

Family-safe

Online play, adding an email, signing in and every link that leaves the app sit behind a simple check, so young players stay safe when families play together.

No ads, no purchases

No adverts, no in-app purchases, no loot boxes. Coins and hints are earned by playing, never bought.

No chat

Players can only send a few kind, preset phrases and reactions during a game. Nothing can be typed to other players.

Very little data

Offline play needs no account. Online, others see only a first name or a generated name like “Calm River 12”, an emblem and a flag.

Halal by design

No music, only gentle natural sounds. No pictures of people: players are shown as emblems, lanterns, cars and birds.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Kalimāt really free?

Yes. There are no adverts, no in-app purchases and no subscriptions. Every level, pack, game and theme is free.

Is it on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Kalimāt is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android. Add an email and password to your player and your progress follows you between them.

Who is it for?

Everyone: adults, students, parents and children from about 6 years old. Beginners start with the letters and simple words; later chapters use larger grids, all directions and words given only by sound or meaning. Families and friends often play together.

Do I need to read Arabic already?

Knowing the letters helps. The first chapter shows each word in Arabic with its meaning and transliteration, so you learn to recognise whole words while you play, and every word can be heard aloud.

Does it need the internet?

No. The journey, word packs and daily puzzle play offline. The internet is only needed for online play (live games, challenges, rankings and tournaments), which you turn on in the app.

Can players talk to strangers?

No. There is no chat. During a game players can only send a few preset phrases such as “As-salāmu ʿalaykum” or “Well played!” and simple reactions. Names are first names only (checked) or generated names, and online play can be turned off at any time.

Why does it ask a small sum sometimes?

Before online play, adding an email, signing in or opening a link outside the app, Kalimāt asks a quick multiplication written in words. It keeps young players in a family from going online or leaving the app by accident.

Will progress be lost on a new phone?

Progress is kept on the phone. You can add an email and password so the player, with its stars, words and streak, can be restored on another phone.

Is there music?

No. Kalimāt uses only gentle natural sounds, like water, wind and wood, and the sound can be turned off in Settings.

How do I delete my data?

In the app: Me, then the gear icon, then Online play & account, then Delete this player. You can also write to us. See delete your account.
