If you're an adult who never learned to read the Quran properly, you're far from alone. Many people grew up without access to a good teacher. The important thing is that learning Quran as an adult is entirely possible, and it's never too late.
Let Go of Embarrassment
Many adults feel shy about starting with the alphabet. Remember: private 1-on-1 lessons mean no one else hears your mistakes, and good teachers respect every student's effort. The Prophet ๏ทบ promised a double reward for the one who reads with difficulty (Bukhari and Muslim).
Adults Learn Faster Than You Think
Adults understand explanations quickly, can practise independently and stay motivated by their own goals. Many adults finish the Qaida in 2โ4 months.
Recite the Quran fluently and beautifully with Tajweed rules and a qualified Qari.
