What is the Noorani Qaida?

Developed by Sheikh Noor Muhammad Haqqani, the Noorani Qaida is a systematic and step-by-step guide that introduces the Arabic alphabet, its sounds, and the fundamental rules of Tajweed (تجويد) (proper pronunciation) in a simplified manner. Think of it as the “ABC” or phonics book for Quranic Arabic.

Noorani Qaida lessons

1. Arabic Alphabet Recognition: Introduces the 28 Arabic letters in their individual forms, along with their correct pronunciation (Makharij al-Huruf – مخارج الحروف – articulation points).
2. Letter Joining: Teaches how Arabic letters connect and change shape when they form words (beginning, middle, and end positions).
3. Short Vowels (Harakat – حركات): Introduces the basic vowel marks (fatha, kasra, damma) and how they affect letter sounds.
4. Long Vowels (Madd – المد): Explains how certain letters (Alif, Waw, Ya) create long vowel sounds.
5. Sukoon and Jazm: Introduces the absence of a vowel sound.
6. Tanween (تنوين): Teaches the “nunation” sounds (an, in, un).
7. Shaddah (شدة): Explains the doubling of a letter’s sound.
8. Basic Tajweed Rules: Integrates initial Tajweed rules like Idgham (merging), Ikhfa (hiding), and Qalqalah (echoing sounds), which are essential for correct recitation.
9. Practice with Quranic Words and Verses: Gradually moves to reading simple words and short verses directly from the Quran, building confidence.

The Benefits of Noorani Qaida

• Systematic Approach: Its structured, step-by-step methodology makes learning accessible and manageable, especially for children and adults who are new to the Arabic script.
• Boosts Fluency and Confidence: Regular practice with the Noorani Qaida helps students develop fluency, reduce hesitation, and gain confidence in their ability to recite the Quran smoothly.
• Prepares for Advanced Learning: Mastering the Noorani Qaida is a prerequisite for advanced Tajweed courses and ultimately, memorizing the Holy Quran (Hifz – حفظ).

The Noorani Qaida is widely used in Islamic schools, mosques, and online Quranic programs worldwide as the standard beginner’s guide. It’s a proven method to unlock the ability to read the Quran with proper pronunciation and understanding.
