Quran-First Fusha Arabic
Begin with the Quran. Build your Fusha.
الْعَرَبِيَّةُ الْفُصْحَى
Warsh is a Quran-first Fusha Arabic learning app. Start with the Arabic you already recite, then build the vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking skills needed to understand the Quran and progress into wider formal Arabic, with guidance in English or Urdu.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
The Arabic you recite is already the beginning.
You may have recited Al-Fatiha thousands of times. Its sounds are familiar, but its words, patterns, and sentence structures may still feel distant. Warsh begins there because the Quran gives Muslim learners the most familiar and meaningful place to begin learning Fusha.
17
times you recite Al-Fatiha in the five daily prayers.
Meaning understood, word for word: not yet.
7
ayat that open every single rakah you have ever prayed.
Words you could translate on your own: not yet.
You learn what the words mean, how they work together, and how the same roots and structures form a foundation for Islamic literature and formal Arabic. Warsh does not teach tafsir or issue religious rulings; it teaches the language itself.
The Bismillah, word by word
بِسْمِIn the nameاللَّهِof Allahالرَّحْمَٰنِthe Most Graciousالرَّحِيمِthe Most Merciful
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Before you start
The questions people ask first.
What is Warsh?
Warsh is a Quran-first Fusha Arabic learning app. It begins with the Arabic Muslims already recite and develops vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking through a structured 72-chapter curriculum, a free Vocabulary Bank, Tadabbur, and Ustaad Noor.
Which Arabic does Warsh teach?
Warsh teaches Fusha, the formal Arabic tradition that includes Classical Arabic—the language of the Quran and traditional Islamic literature—and Modern Standard Arabic used in books, education, news, and formal communication. The current curriculum begins with Quranic and Classical foundations rather than a regional dialect.
Do I need to know any Arabic to start?
No. Warsh is built for complete beginners, starting from the letters. If you already read some Arabic, a placement test can start you at Chapter 4, 6, or 8 instead, so you are not made to repeat what you know.
What does Warsh cost?
Every new account gets 7 full days of everything, free. After that one subscription covers the whole app, about $1 a month or about $10 a year, with the exact price set by Google Play for your region. The Vocabulary Bank stays free forever, subscription or not, and there are no ads.
Which devices can I use Warsh on?
Android 8 or later, from Google Play. Your progress, streak, and subscription sync across every device you sign in on. iOS support is planned for a future release.
