Number to Words in English & Arabic (Tafqit)
Tafqit is the process of converting numbers to written words, required in many official documents such as bank cheques, legal contracts, and invoices. This tool writes the amount in both English and Arabic, with the correct currency name and subunit.
When do you need it?
When writing bank cheques, rental agreements, sales contracts, official invoices, or any financial document that requires the amount in words to prevent fraud.
Amount in words — Saudi Riyal (SAR)
The Saudi Riyal uses the halala subunit (1 riyal = 100 halalas). Example: SAR 15,750.50 = fifteen thousand seven hundred fifty riyals and fifty halalas — in Arabic: خمسة عشر ألفاً وسبعمائة وخمسون ريالاً وخمسون هللة.
Amount in words — Omani Rial (OMR)
The Omani Rial uses the baisa subunit (1 rial = 1,000 baisas), so the decimal part is read as three digits. Example: OMR 4,299.750 = four thousand, two hundred ninety-nine Omani rials and seven hundred fifty baisas.
Writing an amount in UAE Dirhams?
Dirham amounts have their own converter, covering the fils subunit and the UAE cheque rules in full: AED amount in words.
Other currencies
The tool also supports Kuwaiti and Bahraini Dinar (1,000 fils), Qatari Riyal, Jordanian Dinar, Egyptian Pound, US Dollar, and Euro — each written with its correct subunit and Arabic number grammar.
Calculation Methodology
Conversion method
The tool separates the integer and decimal parts, then converts each part into words with the correct currency unit such as riyals and halalas or dirhams and fils.
Language handling
The calculator handles singular, dual, and plural Arabic forms where possible, and also provides an English wording helper when needed.
Document review
Use tafqit as drafting help for checks, contracts, and invoices, but review the final wording before signing any important banking or legal document.
