What is iʿrāb?

Iʿrāb (إعراب) is the traditional grammatical parsing of an Arabic sentence: saying what each word is and what it is doing. Is this noun the subject (فاعل) or the object (مفعول به)? Is it the topic (مبتدأ) of a nominal sentence or its predicate (خبر)? And why does it end in a ḍamma, a fatḥa or a kasra? Every Arabic classroom, from a madrasa to a university course, asks students to "do the iʿrāb" of sentences, because it is the skill that turns reading into understanding — especially for the Qur'an and classical texts.

This tool does the iʿrāb for you, so you can check your own answer or learn from a worked one. A morphology engine analyses the sentence instantly, then an AI pass verifies each word's role and case, and you get the full parsing in Arabic grammatical terms — the same wording a teacher would use — with an English gloss where it helps.

How it works

Paste or type a sentence. Vowelled or unvowelled, a line from a book, a hadith, or a Qur'an verse in Uthmani script — the tool accepts all of them.

Instant morphological analysis. Each word is segmented into prefixes, stem and suffixes, and matched to its root and pattern, so you see what the word is before what it does.

AI verification of the parsing. A language model checks every open-class word's syntactic role and case against the sentence as a whole — the part rule-based parsers get wrong.

Read the iʿrāb, word by word. Colour-coded by category (verbs, nouns, pronouns, particles), with the role, the case, the case marker and the reason for it. Tap any word for its full morphology.

What makes it different

Real grammatical terms

Answers are given the way a grammar teacher gives them — فاعل مرفوع وعلامة رفعه الضمة — not a generic "subject" tag, so what you learn transfers to class and to the classical books.

The reason, not just the label

Every case ending is explained: which word governs it and why. That is the part students are actually tested on.

Qur'an ready

Verses from the app's Qur'anic curriculum are pre-analysed and appear instantly; any other ayah can be pasted in Uthmani script.

Handles unvowelled text

Diacritics improve accuracy — the final vowel is the case marker, after all — but plain unvowelled text is parsed with the most likely reading.

Free, no account

Five sentences a day, including the AI check, with no sign-up. Subscribers get a larger quota inside a full Arabic learning app.

Works everywhere

Phone, tablet or laptop in the browser. A Mac app brings the same analysis to any application, including scanned pages.

Frequently asked questions

What does "iʿrāb" mean in English?

Roughly "parsing" or "grammatical analysis": stating each word's part of speech, its syntactic role in the sentence (subject, object, predicate, and so on), its case (nominative, accusative or genitive), and the marker that shows the case. The word literally means "making clear".

How do I do the iʿrāb of a sentence with this tool?

Type or paste the sentence in the box above and press Analyse. Each word is parsed instantly — type, root and role with the reason — and you can tap any word to see its complete morphological breakdown.

Is the iʿrāb tool free?

Yes: five sentences a day, with the AI check, and no account needed. Murājaʿa subscribers get a larger daily quota as part of a full fuṣḥā learning experience.

Can it parse Qur'an verses?

Yes. Verses in the app's Qur'anic curriculum are pre-analysed and return instantly, and you can paste any ayah in Uthmani script.

Do I need to add the vowel marks (tashkīl)?

No, but it helps. The final vowel is what shows the case, so vowelled text gives the most reliable result; unvowelled text is parsed with the best-estimate reading and you can add ḥarakāt to disambiguate.

Is there an Arabic version of this page?

Yes — the same tool is described in Arabic at muraja.app/irab.html.
