What is Tahaddi?
+
Tahaddi is a card game of the Qur'an and the Seerah for the whole family. A card is scanned with a phone, a short passage of the Qur'an is recited, and the player names the surah for a pearl card, then may go for the card itself with harder questions. It is for 2 to 10 players, ages 6 and up, and a game takes 30 to 45 minutes.
How do you play?
+
The player on your left scans your card and holds the phone. A passage plays. Name the surah and take a pearl card, yours to keep. Then choose: stop, or go for the card: recite on from memory, name the juz, then the ayah number. All three right and the card is yours; one miss, and the next player may call Tahaddi and take it over. When the 40 pearl cards run out, the round is finished and the most points wins.
What does the name Tahaddi mean?
+
Tahaddi (تَحَدِّي) is Arabic for "challenge". A player calls it out to take over a card another player has just missed, and if they get it right, the card is theirs. When an answer is right, the table says "Ahsant", which means "well done".
Can children and adults play together?
+
Yes. Everyone picks their own pile on every turn: a child plays green, choosing the surah from three options from Juz Amma and then saying the next ayah, while a hafiz goes for the red cards, which are worth more. Everyone keeps the pearls they earn, so a child can beat a parent.
Is Tahaddi good for young children?
+
Yes, from about six, once a child has started on Juz Amma. A child picks the surah from three, then says the next ayah from memory, which is what children are proud of. The cards with a star open their surah, so the youngest can start with those, and a missed card goes back into the middle of the deck, so it comes back later in the evening.
Do you need an app?
+
No. The game runs in the phone's browser. One phone is enough for the whole table, with no app and no account.
Is Qur'an text printed on the cards?
+
No. A card carries a code, a colour, a surah's name and numbers. The ayat stay behind the code, so the cards can be handled, shuffled and stored like any others. The Names deck prints no Name of Allah for the same reason.
Which cards are there?
+
Seven decks and 500 cards: 300 Qur'an cards in three levels, green, blue and red, with every surah on at least one card, and four story decks, on the Seerah (33), the Prophets (20), the Companions (48) and the Names of Allah (99).
Does it help with memorising the Qur'an?
+
It is made for revision. Hearing a passage and having to name its surah, recite on, then name its juz and its ayah number, is the same kind of recall a teacher tests. It doesn't replace your child's teacher, but they may ask for one more round.
Is it like Hitster?
+
It borrows one idea: scan a card and listen. Hitster does that with music. Tahaddi does it with the Qur'an, and treats it with the care it is owed: the table is quiet while a passage plays, and nothing is ever played over it. A second way to play, the Line, has you place cards in the order of the mushaf or of the Seerah.
What does it cost?
+
The complete box will cost 399 kr: all 500 cards, the rule cards, seven dividers and the pearl cards. A pack costs 99 kr, and 79 kr for the families of the Founding 100; the packs come after the box. The cost of delivery is set when the printing is booked, and shown before anyone pays. Reserving a box is free. The starter deck of 60 cards stays free to print at home. 5 kr from every box sold goes to sadaqah.
When will the box be ready?
+
We expect to send the first boxes in early 2027. Everyone who has reserved one hears first, in one email, when the box can be ordered.
Where do you deliver?
+
To Sweden first. If you live somewhere else, reserve a box anyway: the list shows us where families are waiting, and where to go next.
Can I change my mind?
+
Yes. Reserving is free, nothing is paid and nothing is binding. The email we send has a link that takes you off the list, and you are free not to order.
Which languages is it in?
+
The site and the rules are in English and Swedish. The Qur'an is recited in Arabic, with translations in English and Swedish. The story cards are in English for now.
