How long does Noorani Qaida take?

It depends on age and practice. With regular lessons, many children complete the Qaida in a few months, and adults often go faster. We never rush: a student moves on only when each lesson is read correctly, because a strong Qaida makes every later stage easier.

How do we teach it online?

The teacher shares the Qaida page on screen, reads each sound, and listens as the student repeats. Mistakes are corrected on the spot. Parents are told which lesson to practise between classes. You can read more in our article Noorani Qaida: the best first step to reading the Quran.

What comes after the Qaida?

After the Qaida, students move to Nazra, reading the Quran itself from the Mushaf, with Tajweed rules added step by step.
