COURSE OVERVIEW

What Is the Noorani Qaida Course?

Noorani Qaida is the classical primer that Muslim children and adults have used for generations to learn Quranic Arabic from the very beginning. It teaches the Arabic letters, how they change shape when joined, and every vowel and pronunciation rule needed to read a Quranic word correctly.

In our online Noorani Qaida classes, your tutor works through the Qaida page by page in private one-to-one lessons. Because the class is never shared, mistakes are corrected on the spot and no student is rushed past a letter they have not yet mastered.

Most students complete the Qaida in three to six months studying three classes a week, and finish ready to open the Mushaf and begin reading the Quran itself.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Recognise and pronounce all 28 Arabic letters correctly
  • Read joined letters and full Quranic words
  • Apply harakat, tanween, sukoon and madd rules
  • Recite short surahs with accurate pronunciation
  • Be fully prepared to begin reading the Quran

COURSE SYLLABUS

Noorani Qaida Syllabus

Six structured stages, taught in order. Your tutor only moves on when the current stage is secure.

01

The Arabic Alphabet

All 28 letters with correct makharij — learning each sound from the right point of articulation, not by imitation alone.

02

Letter Shapes and Joining

How letters change form at the beginning, middle and end of a word, and how to read them joined together.

03

Harakat — Short Vowels

Fathah, Kasrah and Dammah, and how each vowel changes the sound of every letter.

04

Tanween and Sukoon

Double vowels, silent letters, and reading two-letter and three-letter combinations fluently.

05

Madd and Leen Letters

The rules of elongation — knowing exactly how long to hold each sound while reading.

06

Practice and Application

Applying every rule to short surahs and daily duas, building real reading confidence.
