About the Madani Qa‘idah
The Madani Qa‘idah is a beginner’s book for learning to read the Quran with correct pronunciation. It was prepared in Urdu by Majlis Madrasa-tul-Madinah, the Quran-teaching department of Dawat-e-Islami, and translated into English by Majlis-e-Tarajim. It is published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah (Dawat-e-Islami) and is used in Madrasa-tul-Madinah classes for children and adults.
The book takes a learner from the single Arabic letters to fluent reading in 22 short lessons. Its main features are colour-coded letters (heavy letters, Qalqalah, Ghunnah and Madd each have their own colour), plenty of Quranic words for practice, and a final lesson on the words of Salah.
How This Online Edition Is Arranged
Each page of the English edition has its own page on our site, with the scan at the top and our notes underneath. The 76 pages fall into four parts:
| Part | Our pages | What is in it |
|---|---|---|
| Front matter | 1 to 11 | Covers, the chart of the places of the letters, the du‘a for reading, the translator’s note and the introduction |
| Lessons 1 to 22 | 12 to 60 | The reading course, from single letters to the words of Salah |
| Questions and answers | 61 to 73 | 82 revision questions on every lesson, plus basic rulings of Wudu and Salah |
| End matter | 74 to 77 | Table of contents, a poem for learners, and the back cover |
For a lesson-by-lesson map, see page 11. To convert the book’s own page numbers to ours, see the table of contents notes on page 74.
Where to Start
- A complete beginner starts at Lesson 1 on page 12.
- A child who knows the letters can begin at Lesson 3 (Harakaat) after a quick check of Lessons 1 and 2.
- An adult revising Tajweed can go straight to Lesson 12 onwards, then test themselves with the question-and-answer pages.
The book is also available in Urdu; see the Madni Qaida in Urdu. For a teacher to guide your child through it, see our online Quran classes for kids, our Tajweed course and Hifz course.
