Noorani Qaida is one of the most popular books among Non-Arab Muslims and is learned globally. By learning Noorani Qaida online, you are equipping your kid to read the Quran with Tajweed, which can further lead to Quran Hifz.
In a nutshell, Noorani Qaida is like the ABCD of Arabic and the Holy Quran. As non-Arabic Muslims, we don’t know the correct pronunciation of Arabic alphabets and words, which is why we can’t read Arabic or the Holy Quran without learning the basics.
But don’t worry, Noorani Qaida is here to help you learn and understand how Arabic alphabet words look and sound, and how you can join two Arabic alphabets to make different sounds.
This course is specially designed for kids and adults who don’t know Arabic and want to learn to read the Holy Quran. Our instructors train students in English and Urdu because we have both Noorani Qaida in English and Noorani Qaida in Urdu.
Language selection depends on the students and their parents. However, our Noorani Qaida teachers will also provide their suggestions for language selection after five classes. A few introductory classes give the Noorani Qaida instructor a better understanding of the students and what best suits them.
Let’s begin with the course outline and what you will be learning in the Noorani Qaida course online.

The Noorani Qaida teacher will introduce the short and long vowels of the Arabic language. These are Fathah (ـَ), Kasrah (ـِ), and Dammah (ـُ), and Alif (ا), Waw (و), and Yaa (ي).
Taween and Letter of Leen are in the third module of this course and will introduce the special sounds that are made when joining two Arabic alphabets and how one alphabet sounds lower than the other.
Example
قَدْ
The above-mentioned word sounds like “Qad” and has “قَ” and “دْ”. It is taught to the students like ” Qaaf with Daal (Sakoon or letter of lean).”
This module will also cover Taween and its types. There are three types of Taween: Tanween Fateh, Tanween Dhamma, and Tanween Kasrah.
Tanween Fateh — فلمًا (Falman)
Tanween Dhamma — قالبٌ (Qalbun)
Tanween Kasrah — رَسُولٍ (Rasolin)
The fourth module of this Noorani Qaida course defines the rules of Noon Sakin, Raa, and Laam.
Rules of Noon Sakinah and Tanween:
- Izhar (Clear Pronunciation): Noon or Tanween is pronounced clearly when followed by throat letters (ء, ه, ع, ح, غ, خ).
- Idgham (Merging): Noon or Tanween is merged with the next letter. Merging can be with nasalization (ي, ن, م, و) or without (ل, ر).
- Iqlab (Changing): Noon or Tanween changes to a hidden Meem when followed by ب (ba), with nasalization.
- Ikhfa (Concealment): Noon or Tanween is concealed and nasalized when followed by other letters.
Rules of Raa (ر):
- Tafkhim (Heavy): Raa is pronounced heavy with fatha (ـَ), damma (ـُ), or if preceded by one.
- Tarqeeq (Light): Raa is pronounced light with kasra (ـِ), or if preceded by one.
Rules of Laam (ل):
- Tafkhim (Heavy): Laam is heavy in the word “Allah” when preceded by fatha or damma.
- Tarqeeq (Light): Laam is light in all other cases, including in “Allah” if preceded by kasra.
In the last module, you will learn the rules of Waqf. When to stop the recitation and when to pause.
