Noor Al Bayan course online
Do you or your child want to read the Quran correctly but don’t know where to start? Our Noor Al Bayan course online takes complete beginners from recognizing the Arabic alphabet to reading full Quranic verses fluently — using the same proven Egyptian method taught in thousands of Quran schools across the Arab world.
At Iqra wa Rattel Institute, we teach Noor Al Bayan the way it was designed to be taught: by native Arabic-speaking tutors, one-on-one, at a pace that matches each student.
What Is the Noor Al Bayan Method?
Noor Al Bayan (نور البيان) is a step-by-step curriculum developed in Egypt by Professor Tarek El-Saeed to teach Arabic reading through the words of the Quran itself. Unlike generic phonics programs, every letter, syllable, and word your child practices comes directly from Quranic vocabulary — so by the time students finish the book, they are already reading real verses.
The method is famous for one golden rule: a student never moves forward until the current lesson is fully mastered. This is why Noor Al Bayan graduates read with unusual accuracy and confidence.
What You Will Learn in This Course
Our Noor Al Bayan classes follow the original curriculum faithfully, level by level:
- Level 1 – The Arabic Alphabet: letter shapes, sounds, and correct articulation points (Makharij)
- Level 2 – Harakat (Short Vowels): reading letters with Fatha, Kasra, and Damma
- Level 3 – Madd (Long Vowels): elongation with Alif, Waw, and Yaa
- Level 4 – Sukoon and Shaddah: building and reading complete words
- Level 5 – Tanween and the Definite Article: Lam Shamsiyyah and Lam Qamariyyah
- Level 6 – Reading the Quran: applying everything to real verses, with an introduction to basic Tajweed rules
By the end of the course, students can open the Mushaf and read on their own, insha’Allah — fully prepared to continue into our [Quran Recitation with Tajweed course] or [Quran Memorization program].

- Children from age 4+ starting their Quran journey
- Adults who never learned to read Arabic, or who want to fix weak foundations
- Non-Arabic speakers and new Muslims learning Quranic reading from zero

Noor Al Bayan vs. Noorani Qaida vs. Baghdadi Qaida
Parents often ask which foundational book to choose. All three lead to the same goal — reading the Quran correctly — but they take different roads:
| Noor Al Bayan | Noorani Qaida | Baghdadi Qaida | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Egypt | Indian subcontinent | Iraq (classical) |
| Approach | Phonics through Quranic words | Rules-first with drills | Traditional spelling method |
| Best for | Kids & absolute beginners | Students heading into Tajweed | Traditional learners |
| Also teaches writing | Yes | No | No |
