About this course
About the Quran Reading Course
Nazra means reading the Quran by looking at the text. In this course you start with the Arabic letters and their sounds, then learn how letters join, how the short vowels change a sound and how to read whole words. Step by step, you move from the Qaida to reading directly from the Mushaf.
Your teacher listens to every letter you read and corrects you gently on the spot. Good pronunciation from day one means you never have to unlearn bad habits later, and it prepares you for Tajweed and Hifz when you are ready.
Lessons are 30 minutes long, which suits young children, and adults can move as quickly as they like. There is no pressure and no embarrassment about starting from zero.
From the Quran and the Ahlul Bayt (as)
Words of Guidance
خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ
“The best of you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.”
يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ أَوْ يَكُونَ فِي تَعْلِيمِهِ
“A believer should not leave this world until he has learned the Quran, or is in the course of learning it.”
