For many, making time to understand and read the Quran can feel seemingly impossible, intimidating, or unattainable with our busy schedules.

To support people interested in beginning their learning journey, Good Tree Institute has created a platform to understand the Quran: Root’d in Quran— a customizable, interactive, and engaging comprehensive grammar color coding system of the Quran designed for all ages to learn with ease. Whether you’re at an introductory, intermediate, or advanced level in your understanding of Arabic or Arabic grammar, Root’d in Quran can be your go-to tool along your journey. 

As you learn at your own pace, each linguistic concept is highlighted with a specific color, so that you can learn one Arabic grammar rule at a time. Whether from your desktop at home, to your phone when you’re on-the-go, Root’d in Quran can be your one-stop tool to foster a deep and personal connection with the Quran. 

This ad-free web and mobile app is a great tool for beginners looking to explore the Arabic language with ease while reading the Quran, to anyone studying the Arabic language and wanting to apply their learnings to the Quran.

What sets this app apart from other Quran apps on the market? Here are 4 of the many ways Root’d in Quran is the first of its kind.
​

1. Every grammar rule in the Quran is explained and color coded. Each Arabic grammar rule of the Quran is color coded and easy to understand! Colors are organized based on the main grammar modes and based on word function in the sentence. You can learn the building blocks at a beginner level and work your way up to learning gender and noun-number, special nouns, verbs, and tools, and conditions in the sentence (also known as I’rab). App users have the option to explore all rules simultaneously or a single rule at a time, or combine two or more rules to understand their connections and dig deeper. The app also includes a master sheet of all rules and colors which displays color organization and their connections along with a comprehensive display of the grammar modes and positions for comparison.​
2.  Root’d in Quran is not your average Quran translation app. In addition to the English translation and being able to access the entire Quran at your fingertips, our app also allows you to dive deeper into all 4 Arabic grammar rules in the Quran. Understanding these grammar rules can help you understand the meaning of words in the Quran and connect to Allah’s message at a deep, personal level. The app’s word pop-ups allow you to interact with each word to further your understanding of grammar rules and colors. 
3. Customize your learning experience and master every grammar rule on your own time and at your own pace! What really makes Root’d in Quran stand apart from other Quran apps, is the ability to customize the platform and learn at your own pace. Whether it’s choosing an ayah (verse) view with an infinite scroll or a surah (chapter) view with the ability to swipe between pages, you can decide what works best for you. The app also features an interactive legend, which allows users to choose one of the four grammar rules to focus on at a time. The expandable legend is alongside the Quranic text at all times to refer to and adjust for a continuously tailored learning experience. The grammar color coding system can be personalized to the individual's learning level so anyone interested in the Quran can learn regularly despite their busy lifestyle.
4. An app you can trust. Root’d in Quran’s English translation is by Abdullah Yusuf Ali and the grammar teachings are backed by over a decade of Good Tree Institute’s curriculum and more than 20 years of teaching experience. Good Tree Institute’s teaching materials have also always been derived from traditional resources and reviewed by trusted teachers.  Are you interested in supplementing your app learning experience with courses offered at our institute? Pair your learnings from the app with any of our online Arabic grammar, Arabic reading or Quran studies courses!

What others have said about Root’d in Quran: 


Very cool and helpful app
“This app allows me to use color coded grammar rules to study the Quran! Really helps to supplement my studies. I am a student with Good Tree and it has been a very supportive organization. This app helps to supplement the materials even more! It works especially well with this course but would be useful for anyone wanting to see the grammatical rules organized in an easy to read manner.” 

So grateful
“This app has given me a portable opportunity to learn multiple aspects of the Quran. From learning the pronouns, to the tools that each word gives to the overall meaning of the ayah. Root’d even gives the grammatical meaning of individual letters and their effect grammatically on the word. Of course they give the English translation to every ayah in the Quran. The app is so easily navigable!” 

Game changer
“Wow, the color coding of I’rab is a game changer in recognizing and learning grammar in Arabic. This has elevated my understanding and ability to see the patterns and remind myself quickly of the rules as I am reading. The pop up rules and definitions are sooo handy. Highly recommend!”


A blessing
“This app is an amazing asset for all aspiring students of Arabic. To be able to have the grammatical, syntactical, and morphological information of the Book of Allah at the behest of your fingertips is a blessing that we should definitely not take lightly. Allah benefits all who interact with this app and accept it as a service to His Book! Jazakumullah Khairan!!!”

The first of its kind
“MashaAllah, very useful and a great app especially for those who want to know the Quran grammatically, I think this is the first work of its kind in the world.”
