Exercises

Practice reading the Qur'an structurally. Each exercise asks you to commit to a reading first, then checks it against a verifiable source: Khan's published outlines, or the text data the site computes from.

Outline a discourse: al-'AsrPropose the structure of Surah 103 verse by verse, then compare your reading against the outline in Irfan Ahmad Khan's An Exercise in Understanding the Qur'an (2013). Spot the rootsShort surahs, one at a time. Tap the words you think share a triliteral root, then reveal the recurring root families computed from the Leeds corpus's word-by-word analysis.

Companion tool

Guided replayWatch any surah unfold: recitation verse by verse, recurring root families lighting up, and — where transcribed — Khan's outline appearing at each pivot. Best after you've attempted an exercise.

The Read, Dossier and Replay pages also carry a reading lenses card at Study depth — the outline exercises above are its data-backed lens.

Khan's An Exercise in Understanding the Qur'an outlines all thirty of the final discourses (Surahs 85 to 114); the rest are still being transcribed. Help with transcription.
