About This Course

An 8–20 month online Nazra Quran course for students who have finished the Noorani Qaida. It moves from reading Quranic words and short Surahs to Juz Amma, longer passages, pauses and Waqf signs, with daily supervised recitation towards Khatm.

4 live online classes a week: 1 hour in a group class, 30 minutes 1-to-1.

Duration by age group
Ages 5–7About 20 months
Ages 8–10About 15 months
Ages 11–14About 8 months
Ages 15–18About 8 months
Ages 18+About 8 months

Each lesson records the Surah, Ayah or page range you read, your accuracy and the corrections made. Completing a Khatm is a reading milestone, not proof of Tajweed mastery: Basic Tajweed is the next course.

Questions

Do I need to finish the Noorani Qaida before Nazra Quran?

Yes, Nazra starts from reading Quranic words in the Mushaf, so you should already know the letters, harakat and signs. If you have studied before, a ZEF teacher checks your reading first and places you in the right course: Noorani Qaida or Nazra.

How long does Nazra Quran take?

It depends on age: about 20 months for ages 5–7, 15 months for ages 8–10 and 8 months from age 11, with 4 classes a week. Completing the whole Quran (Khatm) also depends on your pace: your teacher sets daily reading targets and signs off each milestone, and you can continue supervised reading until your Khatm is complete.
