Every word on this page comes from a real ayah of the Qur’an. Word meanings are from the Quran.com word-by-word translation; root letters and grammar labels are from the Quranic Arabic Corpus; each full ayah and its translation are from Saheeh International, the same source this site’s Qur’an Reader uses.

Unit 2: Common roots
Most Qur’anic words are built on three root letters, and words that share a root share a core meaning. These twelve words come from four roots: ر ح م, ع ب د, ع ل م and ح م د. Compare the meanings within each root as you learn them. For more on roots, see Sarf Basics.
