How to Start Learning the Quran from Scratch – A Beginner’s Guide

Starting your journey to learn the Quran is one of the most beautiful and rewarding steps a Muslim can take. But for many beginners—especially those who didn’t grow up attending madrasa regularly—the idea of learning the Quran can feel overwhelming.

Whether you’re a parent enrolling your child, a teenager just getting started, or an adult finally ready to reconnect with the Book of Allah, this guide from Abwa Quran Academy will walk you through how to begin learning the Quran from scratch — with clarity, confidence, and ease.


Step 1: Start with the Noorani Qaida

The Noorani Qaida is the foundation of Quran learning. It teaches:

  • Arabic alphabets and pronunciation
  • Basic rules of Tajweed (correct recitation)
  • Word formation and letter joining

💡 Pro Tip: A strong command of the Qaida can make your Quran journey much easier and more enjoyable.


Step 2: Learn Tajweed Basics Early

Tajweed means “to recite the Quran beautifully and correctly.” Without Tajweed, we may mispronounce words and even change meanings.

Start learning:

  • Makharij (pronunciation points)
  • Madd (elongation rules)
  • Ghunnah (nasal sound)

At Abwa Quran Academy, our certified teachers guide students through each rule step-by-step, with clear examples and regular practice.


Step 3: Choose the Right Learning Environment

Learning at home? Online? In a group or one-on-one?

For consistent progress:

  • Choose one-on-one classes if you want personal attention.
  • Make sure the teacher is qualified and experienced.
  • Use a platform like Abwa Quran Academy, which offers flexible timing, trial classes, and certified male & female instructors.

Step 4: Set Realistic Goals

Don’t rush. The Quran is not meant to be a race — it’s a lifelong journey.

Sample goals:

  • Week 1–4: Master Noorani Qaida
  • Month 2–6: Begin Nazra (reciting with fluency)
  • Later: Begin Hifz or translation/Tafseer, if desired

Consistency is key. Even 20–30 minutes daily can make a huge difference over time.


Step 5: Make Dua and Keep Your Intention Pure

Always start with the intention:

“I am learning the Quran to please Allah and gain closeness to Him.”

And make dua:

اللَّهُمَّ اجعلِ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي
“O Allah, make the Qur’an the spring of my heart.”
