Our Mission
KALAM (Know Allah by Lovely Activities of Mirth) is an open-source Demo project dedicated to making Quranic Arabic or the words of Allah comprehensible to everyone. Our mission is to help Muslims and Arabic language enthusiasts develop a deeper connection with the Quran through gaming and other interactive learning tools.
