Lisan-al-Arab is now available on iOS. Featuring all 20 volumes, find the meaning and context of a word by searching for its root letters. Written by ibn Manzur in 1290, Lisan-al-Arab is considered amongst one of the most comprehensive dictionaries written.
The app was developed to aide advanced students in their noble pursuit of knowledge. It is intended for those who want a more in-depth dictionary with which they can understand the meaning of words, the context with which that meaning is in and some examples of the word in literature.
The dictionary can be searched using an Arabic keyboard, or if you do not have an Arabic keyboard, the dictionary can be searched using Roman (English) letters which have an Arabic equivalent.

This app could not have been made without the immense contribution from E.Taal, U.Iqbal and A.Chaudhry. I pray that Allah (swt) reward them and their families for their contribution to this app.
Please also remember this humble developer and his family in your duas.
