16 graded lessons take you from the home row to full vowelled sentences: where the letters live, then the ḥarakāt, then speed and accuracy in short daily drills. No Arabic keyboard needed — your keys are remapped right in the browser.

Being able to type Arabic changes how you learn it. You can look words up as you read, write to real people, take notes in Arabic instead of transliteration, and use tools like dictionaries and grammar analyzers without copy-pasting. The layout this tutor teaches is Arabic (101) — the standard layout on Windows, macOS ("Arabic - PC"), and essentially every physical Arabic keyboard sold — so the muscle memory you build here works everywhere.
The gold keys are the home row — where your eight fingers rest. The vowel marks (ḥarakāt) live on the Shift layer:
Home row first. Lessons 1–4 teach the eight resting keys and their neighbours — ش س ي ب ل ا ت ن م ك — a few letters at a time, with a live keyboard diagram showing which finger presses what.
Then every letter. The top and bottom rows, the hamza family (أ إ آ ء ئ ؤ), and the lām-alef ligature — each lesson only ever uses keys you've already been taught.
Then the ḥarakāt. The vowel marks most typists never learn: fatḥa, kasra, ḍamma, sukūn, shadda, and the tanwīn endings, all on the Shift layer.
Then real Arabic. Fully vowelled words and complete sentences, with your speed (WPM) and accuracy tracked and your best scores saved per lesson.
Adaptive practice. The tutor watches which keys you miss and builds extra drills from your weakest ones — so practice time goes where it's needed.
Your physical keys are remapped in the browser to the Arabic 101 layout. Nothing to install, no OS settings to change. Already have Arabic installed? Turn the remapping off with one click.
A wrong key stops the drill until you press the right one — you build correct muscle memory instead of practising mistakes.
Most typing tutors skip the vowel marks entirely. Here they're a third of the curriculum — because typing the marks is the hard part, and the part learners of Qur'anic and classical Arabic actually need.
Every key is colour-coded to the finger that should press it, taught from the home row out — real touch-typing, not hunt-and-peck.
Live words-per-minute and accuracy on every drill, with per-lesson best scores that only ever ratchet upward.

No. The tutor remaps your existing keyboard to the Arabic 101 layout in the browser, and the on-screen diagram shows you where every letter lives — that's the whole point of learning to touch-type. If you do have an Arabic layout installed, you can turn the remapping off and use it directly.
Yes — all 16 lessons, with no account and no daily limit. Murājaʿa subscribers additionally get their progress saved to their account and can practise typing the words from their own Word Bank.
No — and honestly, no typing tutor can. Touch-typing means training your fingers on physical keys, so you'll need a laptop or desktop. It takes about two minutes to start.

Arabic (101) — decoded from Microsoft's own layout definition. It's what Windows and macOS ("Arabic - PC") use and what's printed on essentially every Arabic keyboard sold. Beware: several popular online charts place shadda and sukūn on the wrong keys; here the ḥarakāt are where a real keyboard puts them.
