Build Your Quran Reading Foundation

The Quran Reading course is designed for learners who want to develop the essential skills needed to read the Holy Quran. It starts with the basics and progresses toward reading Arabic words and Quranic passages more confidently.

Beginners may start with a suitable Qaida, such as Noorani Qaida, Rehmani Qaida, Madani Qaida or Baghdadi Qaida, depending on the learning approach used by the instructor. The aim is to become familiar with Arabic letters, their sounds, joined forms and vowel marks before progressing to more continuous Quran reading.

Learners can also ask about pronunciation practice and the introductory recitation rules covered in the course. The appropriate starting point depends on their current reading ability.
