Noorani Qaida is the proven first step for anyone who cannot yet read the Quran. In live, one-to-one online classes, a qualified teacher takes you or your child from the Arabic letters to joining words, reading with Harakaat and basic Tajweed, until you can open the Mushaf and read on your own.
Noorani Qaida is a short beginner's book written by Sheikh Noor Muhammad Ludhianvi. Lesson by lesson it teaches the Arabic letters, how they change shape when joined, the vowel signs (Harakaat) and the first rules of Tajweed, so that by the last lesson a student can read directly from the Quran.
Because every lesson builds on the one before, a good teacher matters. In our online Qaida classes the teacher listens to every sound, corrects pronunciation straight away and only moves on when the student is ready.
Children and adults learn the same Qaida, but the pace and explanations are adapted: games and repetition for young children, clear English explanations for adults and reverts.
The Qaida is covered step by step, together with the daily essentials every Muslim needs.
All 29 letters with correct pronunciation, and their beginning, middle and end forms.
How letters connect to form words, and how to read joined letters fluently.
Fathah, Kasrah and Dammah, Tanween, Sukoon and Shaddah, and the long vowels.
Correct Makharij, Madd lengths, Ghunnah and the stopping signs, introduced gently.
Moving from the Qaida to reading the Quran by looking at the text (Nazra).
The method of Salah, daily duas and memorising at least the last five Surahs.
There is no fixed deadline. Your teacher moves at the pace that suits you.
Recognising each letter, its correct sound and its different shapes, with lots of listening and repeating.
Joining letters, reading short words with vowel signs, Tanween, Sukoon and Shaddah.
Long vowels, basic Tajweed rules and reading longer lines smoothly without spelling out.
Reading short Surahs directly from the Mushaf, ready to move on to Quran reading and the Tajweed course.
As a guide, children around 10 years old usually finish the Qaida in 4 to 6 months and adults in 2 to 4 months. Students who already know some Arabic often finish sooner.
