Text with harakat
The result will appear here.
We add word-internal vowels. The final vowel (i‘rab) depends on sentence syntax and is not guessed.
How the automatic tashkeel works
We use a lexicon of about 17,000 vocalised words derived from the Quranic text, which is fully diacritized. We add the vowels inside each word and leave the final vowel (i‘rab), which depends on the word’s grammatical role in the sentence.
Frequently asked questions
What are harakat?
Fatha, damma, kasra, sukun, shadda and tanwin — small marks above or below a letter that fix its pronunciation.
Why are some words left unvocalised?
They are not in the lexicon: coverage is stronger on classical and religious vocabulary than on modern words.
Why is the last letter not vocalised?
That is i‘rab, and it depends on sentence syntax. Guessing it would often be wrong, so we leave it out.
