Reading Quran Book — A Step-By-Step Guide to Quranic Fluency

Reading the Quran in Arabic — the language in which it was revealed — is something every Muslim aspires to. Yet for many English-speaking Muslims, the Arabic script feels like an obstacle that never quite gets overcome. Classes are inconsistent, progress is slow, and life gets in the way. Reading Quran Book: A Step-By-Step Guide to Quranic Fluency by Sara R. Ahmed was written to change that.

About the Book

This is a structured, self-paced guide designed for adults and children alike, meaning a parent can work through it themselves and use it to teach their child at the same time — all from home, without needing to enroll in a class or find a teacher.

The author says that reading the book for just 15 minutes a day, four days a week, for six months is enough to bring a person to the point of being able to read the Quran. That is a realistic, achievable goal for anyone who commits to the schedule consistently.

The book includes QR codes linking to training videos that accompany each lesson, reinforcing what is covered in the text through audio and visual instruction. And for those who want additional one-on-one support, the author — who holds an ijazah in Quranic recitation — is available to schedule personal sessions.

Free Arabic Quran with Every Purchase

When you purchase Reading Quran Book from The Islamic Book Cafe, we include a free Uthmani script Arabic Quran. The Uthmani script is the standard script used in the majority of the Muslim world and is what students of the Quran are most likely to encounter in masjids and Islamic schools. Having it alongside the learning guide means you can immediately apply what you are studying to the actual text of the Quran.

Who Is This Book For?

This book is for any Muslim who has been meaning to learn to read Arabic but has never found the right starting point.
