What is on Madni Qaida in English Page 08?
- The hadith on the virtue of learning and teaching the Quran, with its reference.
- How Madrasa-tul-Madinah classes teach children and adults Hifz and Nazirah.
- Why learning Makharij, Du’as and Salah goes hand in hand with reading.
How to Practise This Page
- Read the opening pages once with your child before starting Lesson 1, so they know what the book is for.
- Keep the Makharij chart and the articulation diagram nearby: you will come back to them in almost every lesson.
- Recite the du’a for study and Salat upon the Prophet ﷺ before each class to build a good routine.
The Hadith at the Top of the Introduction
The introduction opens with a well-known hadith of the Holy Prophet ﷺ:
خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْاٰنَ وَعَلَّمَهٗ
Its meaning, in our words: “The best of you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.” It is narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fada’il al-Quran, hadith 5027.
What It Means for a Learner and a Parent
- Learning comes first. The hadith praises learning the Quran itself; a Qa‘idah is the first step on that road.
- Teaching is part of the reward. A parent who sits with a child for ten minutes a day over this book is teaching the Quran.
- Correct reading matters. Learning the Quran includes reading its letters properly, which is exactly what this book trains.
The Rest of the Introduction
The introduction goes on to describe Dawat-e-Islami’s Madrasa-tul-Madinah: free Hifz and Nazirah classes for children in Pakistan and abroad, evening classes for adult men after Isha, and separate classes for women. It continues on page 9, where it explains how the Madani Qa‘idah was put together.
