Noorani Qaida online: what your child or you will practise
- Arabic letters in their single and joined forms.
- Letter and vowel sounds with live correction of pronunciation.

Try it: tap a letter
Every lesson starts from sounds you can hear and repeat. Tap a letter to see its name and sound, then join three letters into a word.
What does Noorani Qaida cover? The stages
Lessons usually move through these stages. The exact order follows the edition of the book your child already uses.
- Single letters: the Arabic letters and their correct sounds.
- Joined letters: how each letter changes shape at the start, middle and end of a word.
- Short vowels: fatha, kasra and damma.
- Tanween: the doubled vowel endings.
- Long vowels: the madd letters that lengthen a sound.
- Sukun and shaddah: stopping a letter, and doubling it.
- Reading words and short verses: putting it together, with basic Tajweed habits.
Noorani Qaida or Noor Al-Bayan: which should you choose?
Both are step-by-step beginner books, and both lead to reading the Quran. The choice usually comes down to what your family already knows.
| Your situation | Suggested start |
|---|---|
| Your child already started Noorani Qaida at a mosque or madrasa | Continue with Noorani Qaida from the point they read securely |
| You are new to both | Noor Al-Bayan, Alfjr’s main beginner path |
| You want the same book your local community uses | Noorani Qaida |
| You are not sure | Book the free evaluation; the teacher will recommend one |

How the lessons work
- Free evaluation: the teacher checks which letters and sounds the learner already knows and finds the right starting page.
- Short, focused lessons: one small step at a time, with the learner reading aloud and the teacher correcting live.
- Practice between lessons: a short task after every lesson, shown in the lesson report.
- Next stage: when reading is secure, the learner moves to Tajweed or Hifz.
Noorani Qaida for adults
Many adults start from the letters too. Lessons are private, at your pace, and planned around work and family time. Adult lessons are $9 per hour, or $12 per hour with an elite teacher for advanced study, learning difficulties or special requirements.
