Knowledge

The quest for knowledge

IqraQuest travels five realms of Islamic knowledge in 900 questions, each with its source and its explanation. Here is what the game teaches, and how it does it.

Iqra, “Read”, written in Arabic

Iqra“Read”

The name

The first word

Iqra — “Read” — opens Sūrat al-ʿAlaq, which tradition reports as the first verse revealed.

IqraQuest takes its name from that imperative. Read, learn, seek: here knowledge is the engine of the game, not its scenery. Every gallop is earned with an answer, and every answer opens onto a source and an explanation. The race is the pretext; knowledge is the journey.

Five realms

  • 01

    The Prophets

    250 questions

    The stories, the trials and the signs of the prophets named in the Qur’an.

  • 02

    The Sīra

    250 questions

    The life of the Prophet ﷺ and of his companions, event by event.

  • 03

    The Qur’an

    150 questions

    The sūras, their names, their verses and what they teach.

  • 04

    Faith

    150 questions

    The pillars, the angels, the revealed Books, the Last Day.

  • 05

    Virtues

    100 questions

    What the Prophet ﷺ taught about good conduct and good speech.

Three levels, chosen by each player

Before the game, each player chooses their own. A child and an adult play on the same board, each with questions to match.

  • Easy

    For a seven-year-old discovering all of this: the names, the pillars, the great stories.

  • Intermediate

    For those who know the basics and want to connect them: a verse, a companion, an event from the Sīra.

  • Expert

    For those who want to be surprised: the detail of a sūra, a precise reference, a lesser-known hadith.

  • Mixed

    Each card draws its own level. The game changes pace with every draw.

You never move back

A wrong answer leaves the horse where it is. Nothing is taken away, nothing is marked. You read the right answer, the source, the explanation — and you draw again. That is how you learn as you play, including when you get it wrong.

VirtuesEasy

Where the questions come from

From the Qur’an, or from a hadith reported in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī or Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. The few widely established descriptive facts that point to no single work — a name, a number, a unanimous practice — are marked as such rather than tied to an invented reference. At the slightest doubt, the question is dropped.

Squares that teach

Depending on the course you choose, some squares do something — the same ones in each of its four quarters, all visible before you play.

  • Oasis

    Protects from capture.

  • Knowledge

    Gives a knowledge point.

  • Challenge

    A harder question, for +2 gallops.

  • Shortcut

    A hard question, to cut ahead.

  • Wisdom

    Offers a fact to keep.

The Daily Challenge

Five free questions a day, offline, with a score to share. A daily streak that makes you want to come back — no forced notifications, no account.

Twelve languages, one bank

The facts, the references and the answers exist once; only the wording is translated. A question asked in Urdu cites the same source as in French.
