The first step to reading the Quran

The Noorani Qaida teaches the Arabic letters, their sounds and how they join, one small step at a time. It is how most of our students learn to read the Quran, whether they are 5 or 55.

Your teacher listens to every sound you make and corrects it straight away, which a book or an app can’t do. Each lesson builds on the last, so by the end you can open the Mushaf and read short Surahs on your own.

Adults are taught as adults. No childish material and no rushing, just clear explanations and steady practice.
