Learn to Read the Holy Qur'an in 7 Days

If you are a student, an executive, a homemaker, or any busy person wanting to learn how to read the Qur'an, then this guidebook may just be what you need. You can use it to study by yourself or with an aid. Originating from actual training courses for new Muslims in Japan and developed over two decades, it organizes your work in 7 days.

On Day 1 you study the Arabic consonants, including their different forms : for example, 'ayn = (...). On Day 2 you study the vowels short (...) and long (...). On Day 3 you focus on suk(...)n, tanw(...)n, and shadda (...) /rabbi/ = (...) /rab-bi/).

From Day 4, you will no more wonder which vowel to use when starting the reading on a word like (...) / i r ka b(...)/, (...) / u sh du d/, or (...) / i s bi r/, nor how to link the sounds in a phrase like (...) /n(...)hu- ni b-nah/ or (...) /khab(...)thati- ni j-tuththat/ : You will have mastered (...) (the conjunctive hamza). On Day 5 you study every sign used in the Mad(...)na copy, including the following :

(...)

Day 6 offers you tajw(...)d tools to properly apply madd, as in (...), idgh(...)m with or without ghunna, as in (...), etc. On Day 7 you acquire grammatical hints for further fluency, learning-among other things-why the same word takes different ending vowels, for instance (...) (h u , h a , h i ).

Ample illustrations and exercises are added to facilitate your study.
