Basic Course Introduction

Choose the language from the menu on the left.

The Basic Course was the first course that was developed in 2004.  Alhamdulillah, we are continuously working to make the learning of the Qur’an simpler and easier.  Therefore, now we have Short Course-1 (SC-1) and Short Course-2 (SC-2).  However, so far we have not been able to produce videos and audios for SC-2.  Therefore, you can still use the Basic Course in case you need video-based explanations.

Please note that the Short Course is a part of this course (Level-I).  It is better to start this course after you have gone through the Short Course.  Following are the features of this course (Level-I): 

1. A course of approximately 25 hours – to help you learn around 300 words which occur approx. 55,000 times (out of a total of approx. 78000 Qur'anic words; representing 70% of Qur'anic vocabulary in this sense) in the Qur’an.
2. Spare just 20 minutes everyday, and insha-Allah you are on your way to realizing the dream. 
3. Start the understanding of Qur’an using what you recite everyday!!!  No need to look for any other text. 
4. Immediately start realizing the benefits in your prayers and supplications, and thereby improve the relationship with Allah.  Practice what you learnt right form day one.  Start practicing what you learn by talking to Allah in Arabic with understanding!
5. Each session is interactive, if conducted in a group!!! Every participant has full and continuous chance to be involved in all the activities (Spoken Arabic, Grammar, and Word-for-word translation) throughout the session. 
6. Each session has 3 different activities, which keeps the participants alive throughout the session.  Learn at least one spoken Arabic sentence in each session.  Learn basic Arabic Grammar as well as almost all important verb patterns by devoting just 8 to 10 minutes in each session. 
7. Learning Arabic Grammar perhaps has never been so easy and simple. A new approach to the practice of grammar, i.e., TPI, Total Physical Interaction. Think it, see it, say it, and show it.  One of the most effective and easiest techniques to overcome the most difficult part of learning the ‘fa’ala’ table (conjugation of a verb).  This is the lesson where generally people give up learning Arabic.  With TPI, it becomes just the opposite, i.e., most exciting and interesting part.
8. Every time you practice a grammar session (5 to 7 minutes), you are shown how closer you are to the understanding of Qur’an.  Therefore, it becomes a session of love and excitement rather than that of boring drills.
9. Learn interesting examples/false links to remember some of the ‘odd’ rules of grammar. 
10. Revise the whole learning in SPECIAL 10 sessions (at the end) where all frequently occurring words in the Qur’an are listed separately.  To remember important words, each word/verb that you have learnt is listed with an example for you to practice, remember, and retain.  Every time you forget an important new word, you are given a context for it to recall. 
11. Learn all important verb patterns thoroughly along with examples from the material covered in the first 50 sessions.
12. 16 quizzes and 2 exams (in the WORKBOOK) to help you evaluate your progress and encourage you to revise and continue.
13. By watching the video files, participate along with the audience throughout these sessions.  You don’t have to wait for another sitting for practice.  Practice right there!  A CD containing mp3 files of the complete course (60 sessions) is also available.  Recently, a brief recorded version of the course (4 hours) is also produced.
14. Actually this is a basic training course for every Muslim.  It contains those parts which are practiced everyday by a Muslim. Therefore this course will have direct impact on his life.  It will make his regular worship more efficient and effective.  Simultaneously he will get the confidence that he can learn the Qur’an very easily.  In view of this, this course can be an excellent basic resource for every Muslim family, school, or organization.
