Huroof (Arabic: حروف, lit. 'Letters') is an Android kids application produced by the Islamic State, specifically the Islamic States' Al-Himmah Library,[1] which is targeted towards kids in order to teach kids the Arabic alphabet, and to also get kids to support the Islamic State and its practices.[2][3]
Huroof uses child-like appearances on the main menu, and throughout multiple of Huroof's in-game games for learning the alphabet,[4] a lot of the games reference jihadist concepts, including imagery of weapons, Islamic State imagery, including the flag of the Islamic State,[5] Huroof uses nasheeds from Ajnad Media Foundation for Audio Production in the app.[6]
In the Huroof app, there's a game where you listen to a radio, with the Al-Bayan logo on it, and learn the Arabic alphabet while the nasheed plays.[7]
In Huroof, there's a game where you can write out letters of the Arabic alphabet, as well as numbers while a small child tells you what they are.
In the app, there's a game they shows you images, and you choose which letter that image/item starts with.[8]
