About This Course

Imagine your child opening the Mus-haf for the first time and beginning to read with confidence — every letter from its correct makhraj, every word forming clearly on their tongue. This is what Noorani Qaida builds: an unshakeable foundation for a lifelong journey with the Quran.

Noorani Qaida is the world's most widely-used method for teaching non-Arabic-speaking children the sounds of Arabic letters and how they combine. At Moddaker Academy, every student learns with their own dedicated teacher — who knows their pace and builds the foundation letter by letter, until the Mus-haf becomes the thing closest to their heart.

Course Overview

The world's most trusted Quran foundation method

The Noorani Qaida takes a student from zero Arabic knowledge to confident letter recognition and word reading. Every lesson is sequenced precisely: letters before vowels, vowels before joining, joining before words. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is skipped.

By the end of the programme, your child will recognise every Arabic letter in all its forms, pronounce it correctly from its makhraj, and begin reading simple Quranic words independently.

  • Step-by-step progression — no jumping ahead
  • One-on-one with a certified teacher every session
  • Pronunciation corrected live — every single session
  • Ideal for children aged 4+ and adult beginners

Common Questions

Noorani Qaida — your questions answered

Not at all. Age 4–5 is ideal. Children absorb pronunciation patterns effortlessly at this age. Our teachers make lessons playful for very young learners — sessions are shorter (20–25 minutes) and activity-based.

Absolutely. Many adults join us having never learned Arabic. Our teachers adjust entirely for adult learners — no childish materials, no embarrassment, just clear and respectful one-on-one instruction.

After completing Noorani Qaida, your child moves directly into our Quran Recitation programme — reading from the Mushaf with the same dedicated teacher who already knows their strengths and areas to improve.
