Quran tools

Parse any Quran ayah, for free.

Irab gives you instant word by word i'rab analysis for pasted Quran text. Paste an ayah and get each word's type, function, i'rab, case marker, details, vocalized sentence, and explanation. It is built for serious classical Arabic study, with honest limits: no qira'at mode, no surah browser, and no bulk surah export.

Why parsing the Quran is harder than parsing modern Arabic

Quranic Arabic is classical, not modern: older vocabulary, denser construction, ellipsis, fronted objects, and rhetorical emphasis appear constantly. Generic Arabic tools built for news or simple MSA often miss these relationships. A useful study helper must make the grammatical structure explicit instead of returning a shallow translation.

Take Surah al Baqara verse 2: ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ. The structure includes a fronted demonstrative, a negative phrase, a prepositional phrase, and an indefinite predicate. A useful i'rab helper should surface those relationships clearly so you or your teacher can review them.

Irab's output is structured for classical Arabic analysis: word type, i'rab, case/function details, hidden pronouns, attached phrase relationships, vocalization, and a sentence level explanation. That makes it useful for Quran study while keeping the result reviewable by a human teacher.

Examples of what you'll get

Submit Surah al Fatiha verse 2 (ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ) and Irab returns: ٱلْحَمْدُ as mubtada marfu', لِلَّهِ as a prepositional phrase forming the predicate, رَبِّ as badal majrur, and ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ as mudaf ilayh majrur. Every word has its function, case, and explanation.

The output for each parsed word includes:

  • Grammatical case, marfu', mansub, majrur, or majzum (with mabni for indeclinables)
  • Function, mubtada, khabar, fa'il, maf'ul bih, badal, mudaf ilayh, etc.
  • Case marker, which vowel or letter shows the case (ḍamma, fatḥa, kasra, sukun, or sound plural ending)
  • Details, such as hidden pronouns, attached prepositional phrases, or likely alternative analyses
  • Vocalized sentence, plus correction notes when the input needs correction
  • Plain explanation, why the word takes this form, in your reading language

أسئلة شائعة

أسئلة متكررة

Can I paste any Quran ayah?

Yes. Paste any ayah into the analyzer and Irab will return word by word i'rab. The current app does not include a built-in Quran browser, surah navigation, or one-click whole-surah export.

Is the parsing accurate for classical Arabic?

Irab is designed for classical Arabic patterns and gives detailed grammatical analysis, but AI can still be wrong on ambiguous constructions. Treat it as a fast study helper and compare difficult ayat with a qualified teacher or specialist reference.

Does it handle the seven qira'at (variant readings)?

No dedicated qira'at mode is shipped. The parser is best treated as a general classical Arabic i'rab helper for pasted text, not as a specialist qira'at comparison tool.

Can I parse a whole surah at once?

No. The current app analyzes text you paste or type. It does not include surah navigation or one-click bulk surah export.

What about word-level details?

Each parsed word includes its grammatical type, i'rab, case/function details, and explanation. For roots, patterns, meanings, translations, and morphology, use the Smart Dictionary.

Is this a substitute for studying with a teacher?

No. It accelerates practice but does not replace the framework a teacher provides. Use it to check your own parsing, drill faster, and build intuition through volume, alongside, not instead of, structured study.
