متشابهات سورة الأعلى

Of the 19 verses of Surah Al-A’la, 2 resemble other verses of the Quran, sometimes down to a single word. Each one is compared word by word with its look-alikes, with the differences highlighted, so you do not mix them up when reciting from memory.

Getting the most out of it

  • Recite the verse of the surah, then its look-alike: the highlighted difference is the one most often forgotten.
  • When a verse has several look-alikes, tap “Compare” on one of them: the highlighting of the verse follows your choice.
  • The “Listen and compare” button plays the verses of the card in a row; the player’s repeat mode helps them stick.
