ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن و ه ء ي
The 29 letters of the Arabic alphabet in their isolated form — the starting point for every new reader.
بَ تَ ثَ جَ حَ خَ دَ ذَ رَ
A short line above a letter gives it a short 'a' sound.
بِ تِ ثِ جِ حِ خِ دِ ذِ رِ
A short line below a letter gives it a short 'i' sound.
بُ تُ ثُ جُ حُ خُ دُ ذُ رُ
A small loop above a letter gives it a short 'u' sound.
بً بٍ بٌ
Double Fatha, Kasra and Damma add an 'n' sound at the end of a word (an / in / un).
با بی بو
Alif, Yaa and Waw stretch a short vowel into a long one — baa, bee, boo.
بْ اَبْ
A small circle shows the letter has no vowel at all and is pronounced sharply.
بّ رَبّ
A small w-shape doubles a letter's sound.
كَتَبَ — قَلَم — بَيْت
Practice reading full words once single letters and vowels feel comfortable.
مِنْ — عَنْ — كِتَابٌ
A gentle first introduction to how these letters change sound depending on what follows — the foundation of Tajweed.
مـ ط ج قلی لا
Small marks in the Qur'an that show a student where it's best, permitted, or not allowed to pause.
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Putting it all together — reading short, familiar phrases with confidence.
ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن و ه ء ي
Every letter said clearly on its own, focusing on its correct Makhraj (point of articulation) before moving on.
بَ بِ بُ — تَ تِ تُ — ثَ ثِ ثُ
Once a letter is known with Fatha, Kasra and Damma, the student repeats it quickly and smoothly, without dragging the sound.
ا و ي
Alif, Waw and Yaa behave differently to other letters — they are the key to every long vowel sound.
بـ ـبـ ـب — كتب — علم
Arabic letters change shape slightly depending on whether they begin, sit in the middle of, or end a word.
مً مٍ مٌ — مَنْ — مِنْ
Double vowels add a trailing 'n' sound; a Noon with Sukoon behaves in several different ways depending on the next letter.
اَلْـ — رَبَّ
A letter with no vowel at all (Sukoon), and a doubled letter (Shaddah), both change the rhythm of a word.
الم — يس — طه
The 'disconnected letters' that open some Surahs are read letter-by-letter rather than as a normal word.
قُلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ
Bringing every rule together to read short, complete phrases confidently and correctly.
بَ بِ بُ
Fatha, Kasra and Damma are colour-marked so a young reader can spot each vowel sound at a glance.
با — بً بٍ بٌ
Long vowels and Tanween get their own colours too, making the difference easy to see before it's easy to hear.
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ
There is no god but Allah, Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allah — the declaration of faith every lesson builds toward.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَّا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهٗ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ
