About us

Our mission

To help children and families learn Islam one word at a time, with care, accuracy and beauty.

Why we built IslamicWordQuest

Children learn best when they are curious and having fun. IslamicWordQuest takes a puzzle they already love and fills it with meaning: the words of sala and wudu, the names of the Prophets, the surahs of the Qur'an, and the pillars of our faith.

Every word is paired with a short, accurate meaning, its Arabic spelling and a recording by one approved narrator. We would rather publish fewer words than publish a word we are not sure of. That is why content waiting for scholarly review is held back.

Accuracy first

Meanings are reviewed, and religious content waits for scholarly approval before it's published.

Calm, not compulsive

No ads, no timers, no pressure. Learning at a child's own pace.

Families in charge

Parents own the account and decide everything about their children's profiles.

Beauty matters

Dedicated to Hind Rajab

After building Islamic Word Quest, I made the decision to dedicate this game to the memory of Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl whose story touched hearts all over the world.

Hind was trapped alone in a car with her family after they were killed, and despite desperate calls for help, she too lost her life. Her story is one of innocence taken too soon, and a painful reminder of the suffering faced by children in Gaza.

By dedicating Islamic Word Quest to Hind, I hope her memory lives on as a symbol of learning, compassion, and resilience.

We ask Allah ﷻ to grant Hind the highest place in Jannah, to ease the suffering of the children of Gaza, and to allow us to use our work and resources for good.

May Allah grant Hind the highest gardens of Jannah, and protect all children everywhere.
