"In two languages"
In parallel languages
On this website you can use your knowledge of Arabic to improve your knowledge of English or German, or use your knowledge of English or German to improve your knowledge of Arabic. The website presents Arabic texts from the Injil Sharif next to a close translation of the texts into English or German. The wording of the sentences is very similar, so you can learn the meanings of words and phrases in the second language by comparing them with the words in your own language. There are also audio recordings to help you learn the sounds of the two languages. In addition to that, there are Arabic video clips with English or German subtitles.

In the resources section there are links to other sites that present parallel texts in two languages, including the Noble Quran. The difference is that this website uses common modern Arabic, and the English or German words match the Arabic words wherever possible. Another unique feature of this website is that it offers texts, not only in American English, but also in English as spoken in the Middle East. The Arabic texts are taken from the Kitab Sharif translation, with permission of the publisher, Dar al-Kitab al-Sharif. The Injil is one of the books of God, and a knowledge of it is helpful for understanding the English and German languages and for understanding the literature and cultures of those languages.
