Course roadmap
Your path, step by step
Every student moves at their own pace. Your teacher assesses your level in the free trial and starts you at exactly the right stage.
- 1
The Arabic alphabet
Single letters (Huroof Mufradat) with their exact articulation points — including sounds that don't exist in English, like ع, ح, ق and ض.
- 2
Joined letters
How each letter changes shape at the start, middle and end of a word (Huroof Murakkabat), plus the disjoined letters (Huroof Muqatta'at) that open 29 surahs.
- 3
Short vowels & Tanween
Fatha, Kasra and Damma, the standing (vertical) vowels, and the doubled endings of Tanween.
- 4
Long vowels & soft letters
The Madd letters (ا و ي) held for two counts, and the Leen (soft) letters — the rhythm of Quranic reading.
- 5
Sukoon & Shaddah
Reading letters without a vowel and doubled letters — the key that unlocks fluent reading.
- 6
Reading practice
Putting it all together with words and short verses from Juz 'Amma — ready for the Quran Reading course.

How long does Noorani Qaida take?

What age can my child start?
Children as young as 4 can start if they can sit and focus for 20–30 minutes. For younger children we keep lessons short, playful and full of encouragement.

No. Your teacher shares the Qaida on screen during class, and we send a printable PDF so you can practice between lessons.
