Even though this is an independent learning course, we encourage the users to approach someone well versed in the recitation of the QUR’AN. In addition to the self-learning lessons, we feel that reading to and being corrected by an expert is the ultimate way to ensure correct pronunciation and recitation.
This course includes learning the Arabic alphabet and its shapes, connecting two or more letters, vowels signs; basic "Tajweed" rules (the correct pronunciations of letters, points of articulation, - attributes etc. and much more. While ideally suited for the beginner, this course offers insight and support for the intermediate and advanced learners as well. Lastly, this course is not designed to provide instruction for the translation or explanation of the Nobel QUR’AN; such a study would require a comprehensive knowledge of Arabic vocabulary and grammar and it is beyond the scope of our intended purpose. Also this course may not be sufficient for those who want to learn to read Arabic text other than the Nobel QUR’AN.
The course is based on "AHASANUL-QAWAID"    اَحَسَنٌ الْقَواعِدْ  compiled by Late Moulana Shamsudin Barodwee (r.a) , India. This method of learning is widely used in non-Arab countries such as the sub-continent of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, Central and south East Asia. The Nobel QUR’AN printed in these regions (Ajmi edition), employs mostly ‘Nastaleeq style (font), the letters are generally large, bold and rounded. The words are clearly separated and marked and vowels signs are accurately placed over or under the letters. Another popular printed copy, widely distributed and mainly used by the middle-east population is the “Medina edition, which use Naskh style slightly differs in the diacritical marking system, however, both use the Qiraat (recitation) learned from Imam Hafs. Some differences in diacritical marking is explained in a Annex D
This course consists of over fifty - (50) lessons which available in variety of formats including mobile first version.
