How a lesson works

Four short steps, five to eight minutes

Every surah lesson follows the same rhythm, so children always know what comes next. Watch one ayah go through it.

See the score, earn XP, and try again as often as they like. Mistakes never cost anything.

Tip: Press on the shaddah in رَبِّ. Listen once more, then try that word again.

The path

From Alif to all 114 surahs

Waha follows the order many families learn in: the short surahs at the end of the Quran first, then the longer ones. On the Family Annual plan, children can also pick any surah they like.

  1. Ages 4 to 6 start hereAlifThe 29 letters, one at a time
  2. Most 7 to 12s start hereAl-FatihahThe Opening, every child’s first surah
  3. Juz AmmaAn-Nas back to An-Naba, surahs 114 to 78
  4. Al-Mursalat to As-SaffatSurahs 77 back to 37
  5. Al-Baqarah to Ya-SinSurahs 2 up to 36, and all 114 are done
Made for each age

A path that grows with your child

A short, gentle check places each child where they are ready to start. Little ones begin with the letters; older children go straight to the surahs.

A little every day

Three small goals, one happy streak

Streaks with a safety net

Meeting any goal keeps the streak alive. Shields cover a missed day, so one busy evening doesn't undo weeks of practice.

XP, levels and badges

Every lesson earns XP toward the next level, and badges mark the milestones worth celebrating.

No lives, no losing

There is nothing to lose for a wrong word. Waha encourages, shows what to fix, and lets them try again.

Ten levels of light

From Spark to Prestige

Every lesson earns XP, and the lantern grows brighter with each level. New outfits, more reciters and closer tajweed feedback unlock along the way.

Questions

What parents ask

Does my child need to read Arabic already?

No. Children aged 4 to 6 start with the letters, and a short placement check finds the right starting point for older children. A child can skip the check and begin at the start.

How does Waha check a recitation?

Waha listens to each recording and compares it word by word with the ayah. It marks each word as said clearly, nearly there or try again, and the child can listen and retry as many times as they like.

Which languages does the app speak?

English, Arabic and Urdu, with the layout flipping right to left for Arabic and Urdu.

Can siblings share one phone?

Yes. Each child has their own profile, avatar, streak and progress, and you can lock a profile with its own code.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Nothing is charged. Pick a Family plan to keep everything, or stay on Free with one child learning.

What happens to my child’s voice recordings?

Recordings are scored and then discarded. If you turn on review, a recording waits for you privately for up to 24 hours. Read the privacy policy for the details.

A calm place to learn, every evening

Waha means oasis. We built it to be a quiet, encouraging spot in your child's day, with the Quran at its centre.
