"Read: In the name of your Lord who created." (Surah Al-Alaq, 96:1)
The perfect starting point for beginners. Learn to read the Arabic alphabet with correct pronunciation (Makharij) and build a solid foundation for Quran recitation.
The Shia Noorani Qaida (also known as Yassarnal Quran) represents the most crucial first step in your journey toward mastering Quranic recitation. This foundational course serves as the gateway to understanding the divine words of Allah (SWT) and establishing a profound connection with the Holy Quran, as emphasized in numerous traditions of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).
Without developing a strong command over the Arabic alphabets, their precise articulation points (Makharij al-Huroof), and fundamental phonetic rules, achieving fluent and accurate Quran reading becomes impossible. The Imams of Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) have repeatedly stressed the importance of proper recitation, making this foundational stage not merely academic but spiritually significant for every believing Shia Muslim.
Our meticulously designed curriculum caters specifically to children as young as four years old, teenagers, and adults who are either beginning their sacred journey or seeking to correct and strengthen their basic recitation skills. Through our systematic, step-by-step approach that combines traditional teaching methods with modern interactive technology, students progress from identifying isolated letters to fluently reading complex Quranic verses adorned with proper Tajweed rules.
By successfully completing this comprehensive Qaida program, our students gain the confidence to transition seamlessly into reciting the Holy Quran with proper articulation, demonstrating reverence for the sacred text as taught by our blessed Imams. The course not only imparts technical reading skills but also nurtures a deep love and respect for the Quran and the Ahlul Bayt (AS) through carefully selected examples and supplemental materials.
Complete focus on recognition, pronunciation, and articulation of letters in their isolated forms.
Understanding how letters transform when paired with short and double vowels, creating meaningful sounds.
Mastering the art of connecting letters to form words as they appear in authentic Quranic script.
Delving into essential elongation and emphasis rules that beautify recitation and ensure accuracy.
Integrating Qaida knowledge with essential Shia Islamic teachings and preparing for advanced Quran study.
Yes, absolutely. Our Noorani Qaida course is specifically designed with vibrant visual aids, interactive digital whiteboards, and engaging teaching methods tailored for young children aged 4 and above. Our Shia teachers are extensively trained in early childhood education, demonstrating exceptional patience and using positive reinforcement techniques to maintain engagement. We incorporate short 30-minute sessions with games, stories about the Ahlul Bayt (AS), and colorful animations to keep young learners motivated and excited about their Quranic journey.
No prior knowledge is required whatsoever. Our curriculum begins at the absolute beginning—identifying and pronouncing the very first letter 'Alif' with correct Makharij. This course is perfectly suited for absolute beginners, reverts to Shia Islam, or those who learned previously but need to correct foundational mistakes. We welcome students who have never encountered Arabic script before and guide them step-by-step through each concept with personalized attention until mastery is achieved.
The completion timeframe varies significantly based on student age, natural aptitude, class frequency, and home practice dedication. A young child (5-8 years) attending 3 classes weekly with consistent parental support typically completes the program in 4-6 months. Teenagers and adults with disciplined practice often finish within 3-4 months taking 4 classes per week. We emphasize quality over speed—ensuring each concept is mastered thoroughly rather than rushing through material, as solid foundations prevent difficulties in advanced Nazra and Hifz studies.
Yes, without exception. All our tutors are devout Shia Muslims who follow the Fiqh-e-Jaffria, carefully vetted and trained according to Shia principles. They hold Ijazah (certification) in Qaida teaching and possess deep knowledge of Shia traditions. Beyond teaching technical recitation, they naturally incorporate love for the Ahlul Bayt (AS) into lessons, using examples from their lives, sharing relevant hadiths, and ensuring students understand the spiritual significance of proper Quran recitation in Shia theology. Many of our teachers are graduates from Hawzas in Qom, Najaf, or reputable Shia seminaries worldwide.
Our online classes require minimal technology: a stable internet connection (5 Mbps minimum), a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone, and a quiet learning space. We provide a free digital Noorani Qaida book in PDF format. For enhanced learning, we recommend a digital stylus for interactive writing practice, though it's optional. Our user-friendly platform works on all major browsers without software installation. We conduct a free technical orientation session before your first class to ensure everything runs smoothly, and our support team remains available 24/7 for any technical assistance.
Our Shia instructors employ multiple engagement strategies specifically designed for virtual learning. We use screen-sharing with colorful, interactive Qaida books where children can point, circle, and draw. Lessons incorporate 5-minute storytelling sessions about Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) and the Imams (AS), virtual reward stickers, letter-tracing games, and periodic movement breaks. Teachers frequently switch activities every 7-10 minutes to maintain attention span, use puppets for letter demonstration, and involve parents through shared activities they can continue after class. Our "learn through play" methodology makes each session joyful while ensuring steady progress.
Absolutely. We strongly encourage parental involvement, especially for younger students. Parents can sit with their child during the trial classes and initial weeks to understand our teaching methodology and support learning at home. We provide weekly progress reports and specific practice instructions for parents. For adult learners, we welcome family members to sit in if it creates a supportive learning environment. Our teachers schedule monthly parent-teacher meetings to discuss progress, challenges, and strategies for reinforcement, ensuring a collaborative approach to your child's Quranic education.
Our Shia tutors are trained in inclusive education techniques and adapt teaching methods for students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or other learning differences. We offer extended class times, slower pacing, visual learning aids, multi-sensory approaches, and frequent positive reinforcement. Teachers break down concepts into smaller, manageable chunks and provide additional one-on-one practice sessions when needed. We work closely with parents to create individualized learning plans and celebrate every small achievement to build confidence. No child is considered "too slow"—we believe every student has the right to learn the Quran at their own pace with patient, loving guidance.
Our teachers possess specialized training in early childhood Islamic education, demonstrating exceptional patience and using age-appropriate, nurturing techniques that honor the innocence and unique learning pace of each child while fostering love for the Ahlul Bayt (AS).
Advanced screen sharing capabilities allow real-time annotation, digital drawing, and interactive exercises. Teachers use visual pointers, color-coded highlighting, and instant feedback tools that make online learning as effective as in-person instruction, if not more engaging.
We operate across all time zones including USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. Students can schedule classes around school, work, or family commitments, including early morning, late evening, and weekend sessions with the same dedicated teacher.
