    A hadith to complete, every day.

    From level 15 a daily task waits, most days a hadith or a saying of the scholars with missing words. The missing words hide in the grid. Complete the quote and it joins your collection, 249 in all, each with its source.

    The 7-day streak adds a bonus on day 3 and day 7. Miss a day and you simply start again.

    Allah is Gentle and loves in all .

    • No time pressure

      No countdown, no lives, no energy bar to wait on. Your time appears only once the grid is done.

      No sign up, no chat, no leaderboards. Your progress stays on your device.

    • Plays anywhere

      Every board is built on your phone, so it works on a train or a plane. Only ads, purchases and links need the internet.

    • With adab

      A filter keeps the random filler letters from spelling anything that does not belong.

    Why Deen Words exists.

    Many words of our Deen we know by their sound, from the khutbah or from conversations, without quite knowing what they mean. Deen Words turns those words into a game: you look for them, find them, and read what they mean along the way.

    Questions

    Is Deen Words free?

    Yes, with ads. The first five puzzles are ad free. A single purchase removes the ads for good. Videos for rewards stay optional.

    Do I need to read Arabic?

    No. The terms are written in Latin letters, like ZAKAT, SABR or IMAN. The English translations are in the grid as well.

    Where do the quotes come from?

    Quran verses carry the surah and verse, hadith the collection and number, sayings of the companions and scholars the work that records them.

    Is my data collected?

    There is no account and no server of our own. What ads and purchases process is set out in the privacy policy.
