Noorani Qaida — Your First Step to Reading the Quran
The foundation course that takes complete beginners, of any age, from the Arabic alphabet to confident reading.
What You Will Learn
How It Builds, Step by Step
- Recognising and naming every Arabic letter, in every position — start, middle, end of a word
- Adding short vowels (fatha, kasra, damma) and hearing the sound each one makes
- Joining letters smoothly into full words, instead of sounding them out one at a time
- Layering in tanween, sukoon, shaddah and madd (elongation) rules
- Reading practice that prepares you directly for Quranic text
This course suits complete beginners of any age — young children just starting their Islamic education, and adults or reverts who never had the chance to learn Arabic letters before. Classes are private, one-on-one, so there's no pressure or comparison either way, and once you finish, our Recitation course is the natural next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to finish the Noorani Qaida?
It varies by age and practice, but most students complete it in a few months of regular one-on-one classes. Your teacher adjusts the pace to the student.
My child is very young — can they still start?
Yes. Our teachers specialise in patient, age-appropriate lessons and regularly start children who are new to Arabic letters.
Do I need any prior knowledge of Arabic?
None at all. The Noorani Qaida is designed for complete beginners and starts from the very first letter.
Can adults learn the Qaida too?
Absolutely. Many adult learners and reverts start here; classes are private, so there's no pressure or embarrassment.
