What Is Noorani Qaida?
Noorani Qaida is a step-by-step primer that teaches how to read Arabic script exactly as it appears in the Quran. Instead of memorizing words, students learn the building blocks: letters, vowel marks (harakat) and the rules for joining letters. Once a student finishes the Qaida, they can start reading the Quran directly with a tutor's guidance.
Who Is This Course For?
- Children aged 4 and above who are starting their Quran journey
- Adults and reverts who have never learned to read Arabic
- Students who can read a little but make frequent pronunciation mistakes
What Your Child Will Learn
| Stage | Lessons |
|---|---|
| 1. Letters | The 29 Arabic letters (Huroof Mufradat) and their makharij (points of articulation) |
| 2. Joined letters | How each letter changes shape at the start, middle and end of a word |
| 3. Harakat | Fatha, Kasra, Damma, then Tanween (double vowels) |
| 4. Long vowels | Madd letters (Alif, Waw, Ya) and standing harakat |
| 5. Sukoon & Shaddah | Reading stopped letters and doubled letters correctly |
| 6. Practice | Short words and phrases taken from the Quran, ready to start Nazra reading |
How Our Online Qaida Classes Work
Every class is live and 1-on-1 on Zoom. The tutor shares a digital Qaida on screen, points to each letter, listens to the student and corrects mistakes immediately. For young kids, lessons are short (usually 30 minutes) and include repetition, praise and small rewards to keep them motivated.
How Long Does It Take?
Most children complete the Noorani Qaida in about 3 to 6 months with 3 to 5 classes per week. Adults often finish faster. Your tutor sets a pace that suits the student, and you receive a progress update every month.
What Comes Next?
After the Qaida, students move on to Quran Reading with Tajweed, and many children later join our Hifz Program.
