"Read in the name of your Lord who created, created man from a clinging substance. Read, and your Lord is the most Generous, who taught by the pen, taught man that which he knew not." (96:1-5)
The Curriculum
All learning is free, but a sincere commitment is expected. Learners progress at their own pace.
Learning the Quran starts with reciting the words. Below is an opportunity to learn it based on the traditional method of oral transmission.
The curriculum follows the tradition of learning the Quran through direct recitation with a teacher. The method remains consistent regardless of which portion you choose to study. The first step to learning the Quran is to recite the words correctly. Letters make up words, words are molds for meanings, and meanings are vessels for reflection.
“˹This is˺ a blessed Book which We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ so that they may reflect on its verses, and people of reason may be mindful.” (38:29)
To start, you can choose to focus on any of the parts listed below. Additional sections of the Quran can be studied after these are completed. You can choose to recite from memory or read from the Book. You can also choose to study subsets of these parts, for example, the shorter surahs only of Juz 'Amma.
