Course Overview

What Is a Qaida Course
& Which One Is Right?

A Qaida course is the very first step in learning to read the Quran. Before any student can open the Mushaf, they must learn Arabic letters, their sounds, and how they join together — and that's exactly what every Qaida teaches, step by step.

One course, four proven methods. We offer all four major Qaida programmes — Noorani Qaida, Madani Qaida, Iqra Qaida, and Ahsanul Qawaid. Your teacher will recommend the best fit for your child's age and learning style, or you can choose your preferred method when enrolling.

Every method leads to the same goal: a student who can read Arabic letters, join them into words, and begin reciting the Quran with correct pronunciation and basic Tajweed. Classes are one-to-one, live, and tailored to each student's natural pace.

What You'll Learn

Everything covered in our Qaida programme — from the first Arabic letter to reading full Quranic words fluently.

Arabic Letters & Sounds

Learn all 28 Arabic letters — their names, shapes, and correct pronunciation — using your chosen Qaida method with daily recognition drills.

Short & Long Vowels

Master Fathah, Kasrah, Dammah, Tanween, and the three Madd letters — the building blocks that make every Arabic word readable.

Sukoon & Shaddah

Learn how to stop a letter's sound (Sukoon) and double a letter (Shaddah) — two essential signs that appear throughout the Quran.

Joining Letters into Words

Progress from individual letters to joined combinations and full Arabic words — the critical step that makes Quran reading possible.

Basic Tajweed Rules

Introduction to Qalqalah, Ghunnah, and basic Madd — embedded naturally into the Qaida so correct habits form from the very start.

Transition to Quran Reading

Complete the Qaida and move directly into reading Surah Al-Fatiha and short Surahs from Juz Amma with confidence and correct pronunciation.

Complete Syllabus

What's Covered in Our
Qaida Course

A complete beginner foundation — from recognising your first Arabic letter to reading full Quranic words with correct pronunciation.

2–3 Weeks

The foundation of all Quranic learning. Students learn all 28 Arabic letters by name and sound, using the chosen Qaida's methodology. Correct articulation points (Makhaarij) are introduced from day one.

Short Vowels (Harakat) & Tanween

2–3 Weeks

Students learn the three short vowels and Tanween — the signs that give every Arabic letter its sound. This chapter unlocks the ability to read any vowelised text.

Fathah — the "a" sound
Kasrah — the "i" sound
Dammah — the "u" sound
Reading each letter with all vowels
Tanween (double vowels)
Applied reading of vowelised words

Sukoon, Shaddah & Madd Letters

2–3 Weeks

Three fundamental signs that appear throughout the Quran — Sukoon (stopping), Shaddah (doubling), and the three Madd elongation letters Alif, Waw, and Ya.

Sukoon — stopping a letter's sound
Shaddah — doubling rule
Madd Alif (aa sound)
Madd Waw (oo sound)
Madd Ya (ee sound)
Reading connected words with signs

Joining Letters & Reading Words

3–4 Weeks

The most critical stage — students transition from individual letters to joined words, learning how Arabic letters connect and change shape within words.

Letters that join vs. those that don't
Beginning, middle, end letter forms
Two-letter joined word reading
Three-letter words with vowels
Common Quranic word patterns
Speed-building reading drills

Introduction to Basic Tajweed Rules

3–4 Weeks

Every Qaida naturally introduces key Tajweed concepts at this stage — including Qalqalah, Ghunnah, and basic Madd — building correct habits before touching the Mushaf.

Qalqalah — the 5 bouncing letters
Ghunnah — nasal sounds
Lam Shamsiyya & Qamariyya
Hamzah al-Wasl
Basic Madd (2 counts)
Applied Quranic sentence practice

Reading Quranic Words & Short Surahs
