Noorani Qaida Course

🔤 Arabic Alphabet Mastery

Students begin their journey by learning to identify, pronounce, and write all 28 Arabic letters accurately. Each letter is taught with attention to Makharij (articulation points), helping learners develop precise pronunciation from the very start. Writing practice is also included to build familiarity with the letter shapes.

🔗 Letter Joining & Syllables

Understanding how Arabic letters connect in different positions (beginning, middle, end) is essential for reading. Students practice joining letters into syllables and complete words, enabling them to decode Quranic text smoothly and confidently.

🎶 Short & Long Vowel Sounds (Harakat & Madd)

Learners are introduced to the three short vowels—Fatha, Kasra, and Dammah—as well as Madd letters (Alif, Waw, Ya) that extend the sound of vowels. Accurate use of vowels is fundamental for correct recitation, rhythm, and understanding.

🔁 Tanween & Sukoon Rules

This section focuses on teaching the double vowel sounds (Tanween) and the concept of Sukoon (absence of a vowel). Students learn how to pause and read silent letters, which are commonly found in Quranic Arabic.

❗ Shaddah (Emphasis on Letters)

Students are taught how to recognize and pronounce Shaddah, a sign that indicates a letter should be stressed or doubled. Mastery of Shaddah is crucial for intonation and emphasis in Tajweed and Quran recitation.

📜 Tajweed Basics

Learners are introduced to the core Tajweed rules required for fluent Quranic reading, including:

• Ikhfa – nasal sound with hidden pronunciation

• Idgham – merging of letters

• Iqlab – conversion of one letter sound into another

• Qalqalah – echoing effect on certain consonants

Each rule is explained with examples and practice words.

🗣️ Correct Pronunciation (Makharij & Sifaat)

In-depth training on where each letter is pronounced from (Makharij) and its Sifaat (qualities or attributes), such as heaviness, softness, whistling, etc. This ensures error-free recitation and avoids common mistakes like confusing similar sounds.

🧩 Word Formation & Simple Sentences

Once basic letters and vowels are mastered, students begin reading fully formed words and short Quranic phrases, preparing them to understand sentence structure and improve fluency.

⏸️ Basic Rules of Waqf (Pausing & Stopping)

A crucial part of Quran reading is knowing when and how to pause. Students learn the symbols and rules of stopping (Waqf) to avoid changing meanings and maintain correct rhythm and flow while reading.

📖 Application in Quran Reading

In the final stage, students start reading actual short Quranic verses using everything they’ve learned. This prepares them for independent Quran recitation and builds confidence for moving on to full Surahs and Juz’.
