Course Overview

What Is Iqra Qaida
& Why Is It So Popular?

Iqra Qaida is a six-volume beginner series for learning to read the Quran, developed by Dr Abdur Rauf and used by millions of students around the world. Its step-by-step approach introduces Arabic letters, vowels, and words in a clear, progressive sequence that suits all ages.

Why Iqra? The Iqra series is beloved for its simplicity and effectiveness. Students as young as 3–4 years old can follow it easily, while adults find its logical progression equally accessible. It builds strong reading habits from the very start.

Our online Iqra Qaida course covers all six volumes in live, one-to-one sessions. Your teacher adapts the pace to the student, ensuring full understanding and correct pronunciation at every stage before moving forward.

  • Structured learning from Noorani Qaida to advanced Tajweed rules
  • Male & female Qaris available — safe for all ages
  • Flexible schedule — 7 days a week across all time zones
  • Monthly progress reports sent to parents
  • Classes via Zoom or Skype — no software installation needed
Learning Outcomes

What You'll Learn

Everything in our Iqra Qaida program — all 6 volumes covered with correct pronunciation from start to Quran reading.

01
Iqra Book 1 — Letters & Sounds

Begin with the first Iqra volume — learning all Arabic letters, their individual sounds, and correct mouth position in the simple, child-friendly Iqra sequence.

02
Iqra Books 2 & 3 — Vowels & Words

Progress to short vowels, letter joining, and reading complete Arabic words — the foundation of Quran literacy built step by step across two volumes.

03
Iqra Book 4 — Long Vowels & Tanween

Master long vowels, Tanween (double vowels), Sukoon, and Shaddah — completing the vowel system and enabling fluent reading of fully-vowelled Quranic text.

04
Iqra Books 5 & 6 — Sentences & Quran

Complete books 5 and 6 — reading multi-word sentences and actual Quranic verses — graduating to full Quran reading with confidence and correct pronunciation.

05
Basic Tajweed Rules

As students progress through Iqra, foundational Tajweed — Qalqalah, Madd, Ghunnah — is introduced naturally so correct recitation habits are built from the very beginning.

06
Reading the Quran Independently

Graduate from all 6 Iqra volumes and begin reading the Quran independently — with strong pronunciation, reading fluency, and early Tajweed skills all in place.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions About
Iqra Qaida

Do I need any prior knowledge to join the Tajweed course?
No prior knowledge is required. Our Tajweed course starts from the absolute basics — Arabic letter recognition and pronunciation. We have students who have never read a single Arabic letter and are now reciting the Quran beautifully within months.
How long does it take to complete the Tajweed course?
It depends on the student's starting level and pace. Beginners typically complete the full course in 12–18 months with consistent 5-day-a-week classes. Those with some prior knowledge can often complete it in 6–10 months. Your teacher will give you a personalised timeline in the first session.
What age is suitable to start learning Tajweed?
Children can start as young as 4–5 years old with our Noorani Qaida programme, which naturally leads into Tajweed. We also have many adult students — it is never too late to learn. Our teachers are experienced in adapting their approach for both children and adults.
How do the online Tajweed classes work technically?
Classes are conducted live, one-to-one via Zoom or Skype. All you need is a stable internet connection and any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. Your Qari interacts with your child in real time, correcting pronunciation instantly, exactly like an in-person lesson.
Can I request a female Tajweed teacher?
Absolutely. We have a full team of qualified female Qaris available for sisters and children who prefer a female teacher. Simply mention your preference when booking your free trial and we will match accordingly at no extra cost.
What if I am not satisfied with the teacher?
We make it easy to switch teachers at any time — no questions asked, no extra charges. Your comfort and your child's progress come first. We will find you a better match within 24 hours of your request.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — every paid plan includes a full 7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely happy within the first week for any reason, we will issue a complete refund with no questions asked. Your trust matters more than any payment.

Our team is available 7 days a week to answer any questions about Tajweed classes, teachers, scheduling, or fees.
