What Is Noorani Qaida?
Noorani Qaida is a beginner’s primer for learning to read Quranic Arabic. It introduces Arabic letters and their sounds, joined forms, short vowels and other reading signs before combining them in reading exercises. You do not need to read Arabic already to begin.
The immediate aim is reading: identifying what is on the page and producing its sound. Reading an Arabic word and understanding its meaning are different skills. Learners interested in word-by-word understanding can explore Quranic Arabic as a separate learning goal.
How does Noorani Qaida relate to Tajweed?
Tajweed concerns how Quranic recitation is pronounced. Qaida builds the first tools for that work: distinguishing letters, noticing vowel signs and reading combinations accurately. It prepares a beginner for Quran Reading with Tajweed; advanced recitation study requires a stronger reading foundation.
Chapter-by-Chapter Noorani Qaida and Madani Qaida Syllabus
Teachers use Noorani Qaida and Madani Qaida for the beginner reading foundation. The outline below follows QuranlyHub’s confirmed skill sequence. Printed lesson numbers and grouping can differ between the two books; the tutor identifies the assigned book and page. Each stage may need more than one live class.
| Learning stage | Chapter / skill | What the learner works towards |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mufradat — single letters | Recognise individual Arabic letters, their dots and distinct sounds. |
| 2 | Murakkabat — joined letters | Recognise letters when joined and identify them within combinations. |
| 3 | Harakat — Fatha, Kasra, Damma | Read short vowel marks, also called Zabar, Zair and Paish in Urdu. |
| 4 | Tanween | Recognise double vowel marks and practise their sounds in reading. |
| 5 | Khari Harakat — standing vowel signs | Recognise standing vowel signs and practise their long-vowel sounds. |
| 6 | Sukoon | Read a consonant without adding an extra vowel to it. |
| 7 | Huroof Madd | Identify the letters and vowel patterns used for lengthened sounds. |
| 8 | Huroof Leen | Recognise and practise the soft letter combinations taught in the Qaida. |
| 9 | Tashdeed / Shaddah | Give a doubled consonant its proper reading instead of skipping the doubling. |
| 10 | Ghunnah | Recognise where the taught nasal sound belongs and practise it with the tutor. |
| 11 | Noon Sakin and Tanween rules | Begin applying the relevant Noon Sakin and Tanween rules in guided examples. |
| 12 | Meem Sakin rules | Notice the following letter and practise the relevant Meem Sakin reading. |
| 13 | Qalqalah | Practise the controlled echoing quality of Qalqalah letters in suitable examples. |
| 14 | Raa | Begin distinguishing the heavy and light readings of Raa in taught examples. |
| 15 | Laam | Practise the relevant Laam pronunciation, including guided examples of the name Allah. |
| 16 | Madd — lengthening practice | Apply the lengthening taught by the tutor while combining reading skills. |
| 17 | Muqatta’at — disconnected opening letters | Read selected opening-letter combinations as letter names with tutor guidance. |
| 18 | Waqf signs — stopping guidance | Recognise common stopping signs and practise appropriate pauses in guided reading. |
From recognising a sign to reading a word
The goal is to use each skill when reading, rather than only remember a rule’s name. Letter recognition, vowel reading and sound production work together in combined exercises. Chapter checks help the teacher identify what needs revision before the next stage.
Qaida introduces these skills at beginner level. More sustained application across Quran passages follows in Nazra / Quran Reading with Tajweed.
Who Can Join These Online Qaida Classes?
Muslim kids learning their first Arabic letters
The course welcomes children aged 4 and above, including kindergarten learners. They begin with letter recognition instead of being expected to read Quran passages immediately. Parents may sit with their child in class to help them feel comfortable. Discuss the child’s attention, previous learning and explanation language when arranging the trial. See our online Quran classes for kids for broader family guidance.
Adult beginners and returning learners
Adults can start Noorani Qaida from the beginning or revisit foundations they find difficult. If you studied years ago, tell the tutor what you can still recognise and where reading becomes uncertain. Agree class times around your actual routine; our adult Quran learning guide explains related starting choices.
New Muslims who cannot read Arabic yet
New Muslims can start with Noorani Qaida in English, using English explanations from an English-speaking teacher while learning the Arabic letters and sounds. You do not need to understand Arabic vocabulary first. Read more about Quran classes for new Muslims and reverts if you are choosing your first course.
Women and girls requesting a female teacher
Female teachers are available with English and Urdu explanations. Share your preferred language and local-time availability before the trial so the team can discuss a suitable arrangement. Our female Quran teacher page covers this preference in more detail.
Overseas Pakistani and other Muslim families
Families can discuss English or Urdu explanations and agree a timetable in the student’s local time zone. Share your country, time zone and school or work commitments. Teacher availability and the actual recurring lesson times should be agreed before regular classes begin.
Male and Female Quran Teachers for Beginners
QuranlyHub’s teaching team includes Hafiz teachers, Ijazah holders and Tajweed-certified tutors, with male and female teachers available. English and Urdu explanations help beginners understand what to notice while learning Arabic sounds. Discuss your language and teacher preference when arranging the trial.
For children and first-time learners, the teaching approach emphasises patience, gentleness, friendliness and engaging explanations. Teachers are trained to work with kids and beginners, giving them room to attempt a sound and revisit a difficulty. The aim is to make the learner comfortable enough to read aloud and accept correction.
Teacher qualifications describe the tutor’s background. The course’s student completion award is the academy graduation certificate described below.
A Free 30-Minute Trial and Your Regular Lessons
Start with a free 30-minute trial class. Tell the teacher whether Arabic letters are completely new or you have studied Qaida before. Share the learner’s age, preferred explanation language and any earlier material so the starting exercise fits what they can read.
How the lesson is delivered
The teacher shares the Qaida on screen during the live Zoom lesson, demonstrates reading and listens to the student’s attempt. A confusing letter, vowel or combination can be revisited with individual feedback. A Qaida PDF is provided as learning material so the assigned pages are available for study.
Ask which page or exercise should be revisited before the next class. The amount of practice should fit the learner and the teacher’s guidance; a fixed homework duration is not promised here.
A useful first-lesson checklist
- Can I recognise this letter, including its dots, when it appears elsewhere?
- Am I noticing the vowel mark as well as the letter?
- Which sound or combination needs another demonstration?
- Which Qaida book, page or exercise should I have ready next time?
These questions help learners and parents prepare. They do not replace the teacher’s chapter tests or create a fixed pass score.
Duas, Salah and Islamic Manners Are Included
Alongside Noorani Qaida, students learn Duas, Kalma, Salah, basic Islamic knowledge and Islamic manners within the same agreed class time and monthly fee. These supporting subjects do not require a separate add-on lesson fee.
Their place in a lesson should fit the learner’s current needs. Ask what your child is working on alongside reading, such as a Dua, part of Salah or a point of Islamic manners. There is no fixed minute-by-minute split promised here, and this supporting learning does not add extra time to a scheduled class.
Chapter Tests, Monthly Reports and Graduation Certificate
Lesson and chapter tests
The teacher checks the reading taught in the assigned lesson or chapter. These tests help identify skills that are secure and difficulties that need revision. Ask which chapter was checked and what the learner should revisit; the next learning task should respond to the reading difficulty.
Monthly progress reports for parents
Parents receive a monthly progress report, discussed in an end-of-month meeting. It explains the work covered, the learner’s weaknesses and the supporting Islamic learning completed alongside reading.
| Progress area | What parents can discuss |
|---|---|
| Qaida work | Lessons, chapters or sections covered and chapter checks completed |
| Reading development | Recognition, vowel/sign reading and pronunciation difficulties that need attention |
| Islamic learning | Duas and Kalma work, Salah, basic Islamic knowledge and manners covered |
| Next steps | Which exercise or weakness to focus on before progressing further |
Final exam and academy graduation certificate
There is a final exam after completing the course, reviewing the reading foundation developed through the assigned Qaida. QuranlyHub provides an academy graduation certificate after course completion and the final test.
Completing Qaida also opens a discussion about the next suitable reading course. The certificate is a course-completion award from the academy; the next learning level should still reflect what the student can read.
Suggested parent discussion prompts
Ask your child to point to a letter without following its usual row order, notice its vowel mark and show the exercise the tutor has asked them to revisit. Let the teacher model pronunciation if you are unsure of a sound yourself. These prompts are practical suggestions, not a claim about a particular student’s result.
Live Zoom Classes, Materials and Family Arrangements
Classes are one-to-one, live on Zoom, with the Qaida shared on screen and a Qaida PDF provided. Prepare a phone, tablet or computer, a working microphone and a stable internet connection. A quiet setting helps the teacher hear the learner’s sounds clearly.
- Parents may attend: You can sit with your child to help them feel comfortable.
- Recording with permission: A recording can be arranged with permission; classes are not automatically recorded.
- Flexible local-time scheduling: Agree recurring lesson times according to the student’s time zone.
- Makeup class for teacher absence: If the teacher cannot conduct a scheduled lesson, a makeup class is arranged.
- Same-time Islamic learning: Duas, Kalma, Salah, basic Islamic knowledge and manners remain within the agreed 30-minute lesson and fee.
If the student needs to miss a class, discuss the arrangements with the team beforehand. The confirmed teacher-absence makeup arrangement does not establish an unlimited student-absence rescheduling policy.

See general pricing information and confirm the Noorani Qaida plan and family discount with the team.
After Qaida: Nazra / Quran Reading with Tajweed
After completing the Qaida foundation and final test, students continue towards Nazra — reading the Quran from the Mushaf — with Tajweed. The next course applies letter recognition, vowels and basic recitation rules across Quran passages, with the teacher listening and correcting reading.
Move to Nazra / Quran Reading with Tajweed when the teacher recommends that the reading foundation is ready. Discuss any letters, signs or combinations that still need revision; finishing a printed page alone does not settle every reading difficulty.
Later, Advanced Tajweed can support further recitation refinement. Learners considering Hifz / Quran memorization should also discuss reading readiness and revision needs. Quranic Arabic addresses word-by-word understanding as a distinct learning goal.
