Online Noorani Qaida Classes
The best starting point for anyone who wants to learn to read the Quran. Complete beginners, children, adults, and reverts, learn all Arabic letters, vowels, and word formation before opening the Quran itself. Taught in English by certified teachers.
What Is the Noorani Qaida Course?
Noorani Qaida is the universally trusted gateway to reading the Quran. It takes a student with absolutely zero Arabic knowledge and, step by step, teaches them every skill needed to open the Quran and read it correctly. It is used in thousands of Islamic schools across the world, and for good reason: it works.
Our online Noorani Qaida course follows this proven curriculum, taught entirely in English by qualified teachers. The student might be a 4-year-old meeting Arabic letters for the first time, an adult who has always wanted to read the Quran, or a new Muslim starting from scratch. The course starts where they are.
Female teachers are available for sisters and children upon request. All classes are live, one-on-one, and scheduled around your family's timetable.
What You Will Learn
A complete, step-by-step curriculum that takes you from zero Arabic knowledge to reading Quranic text independently.
All 28 Arabic Letters and Their Forms
Learn every Arabic letter in its isolated, initial, medial, and final forms, the foundation of reading any Arabic text, including the Quran.
Letter Joining and Word Formation
Understand how Arabic letters connect to form words. Practice joining two, three, and four letters together to form Quranic vocabulary.
Harakaat (Short Vowels: Fatha, Kasra, Damma)
Master the three short vowel marks that determine how every Arabic letter is pronounced, the most important skill in reading Arabic script.
Tanween (Nunation)
Learn the double vowel marks (Fathatayn, Kasratayn, Dammatayn) and how they change pronunciation at the end of words.
Madd Letters and Basic Rules
Understand the three elongation letters (Alif, Waw, Ya) and the basic rules of how long to extend each sound in recitation.
Sukoon (Vowelless Letters)
Learn how to correctly pronounce letters that carry no vowel, a critical skill for reading Arabic text accurately.
Shaddah (Doubled Consonants)
Understand the doubling mark and how it doubles the consonant sound, with practice on real Quranic words that contain Shaddah.
Reading Complete Quranic Words
By the end of Noorani Qaida, students practice reading actual Quranic words and short phrases, building confidence for the Quran itself.
Moving to Quran Reading Independently
Graduate from Noorani Qaida ready to open the Quran and read from it with guidance, the moment every family and student works toward.

Class Structure & Methodology
Step-by-Step Progression
Each class covers one or two new sections of the Noorani Qaida, never rushing ahead until the current section is fully mastered. We build a rock-solid foundation before moving forward.
Repetition and Audio Feedback
Arabic pronunciation is learned through hearing and imitating, not reading theory. Our teachers demonstrate correct sounds and you repeat until the pronunciation is correct. Mistakes are corrected immediately and gently.
Class Length
Classes are 30 or 60 minutes. Young children do best with 30 minutes; older children, teens and adults can choose either. Three classes a week gives steady progress through the Qaida.
Practice Between Classes
Your teacher tells you what to practice after each lesson. Even 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice between classes makes a real difference to how quickly the Qaida is completed.
Progress Tracking
Parents receive updates at each section milestone, how many letters and rules have been completed, what needs more practice, and an estimated timeline to Quran reading readiness.
Smooth Transition to Quran
When Noorani Qaida is complete, the teacher does not simply hand the student a Quran. There is a guided transition period where the student reads simple Quranic text with teacher support before reading independently.
