Most beginners approach Quranic Arabic thinking they need to master grammar first. They don’t. They need to recognize sounds, connect letters to meaning, and build confidence reading the words they already hear in Salah. Buruj Academy’s Quranic Arabic Beginner Course starts there—with the Quran itself, not abstract conjugation tables.
Buruj Academy teaches Quranic Arabic to English speakers who have been intimidated by traditional grammar-heavy methods. Buruj Academy’s instructors don’t assume prior Arabic knowledge. They assume intelligence, patience, and a desire to connect with the Quran’s language. That changes how every Quranic Arabic lesson is built—from pronunciation drills to Quranic Arabic vocabulary selection to pacing.
Transform from a complete beginner to a confident Quran reader
Buruj Academy’s Quranic Arabic for Beginners is a structured program designed specifically for English-speaking adults and older students with no prior Arabic background. Lessons cover Arabic script recognition, essential Quranic vocabulary, basic grammatical patterns found in the Quran, and pronunciation of Classical Arabic sounds. Students learn to read, understand, and analyze Quranic verses progressively.
Buruj Academy’s curriculum doesn’t isolate grammar from meaning. Students encounter verb forms, noun cases, and sentence structures in their original Quranic context. This approach reduces abstraction and increases retention. Buruj Academy’s instructors explain why a Quranic word appears in a certain form, how that form changes meaning, and where students will see it again in their Quran reading.
Learning Quranic Arabic for beginners means building three capacities simultaneously: recognizing written Arabic, pronouncing Classical sounds correctly, and understanding grammatical meaning in verses.
Students begin by learning the Arabic alphabet in its joined forms, not just isolated shapes. Buruj Academy’s instructors teach letter recognition through high-frequency Quranic words, so students see the script as functional from day one. By week three, most beginners can visually identify root letters in common verbs like قَالَ and فَعَلَ.
Buruj Academy’s curriculum introduces the 300 most common words in the Quran first. These words cover roughly 70% of the text. Students learn them in thematic clusters—words related to prayer, belief, commands, and descriptions of Allah. This selection is not arbitrary. It reflects real reading needs, not textbook convenience.
Rather than teaching grammar as isolated rules, Buruj Academy’s instructors present verb forms, case endings, and sentence patterns as they appear in short Quranic passages. Students analyze Surah Al-Fatihah grammatically in the first month. They learn why إِيَّاكَ uses the accusative, how نَعْبُدُ is conjugated, and what الصِّرَاطَ modifies. Grammar becomes a tool for understanding, not an obstacle.
Many English speakers struggle with sounds like ع, ح, ق, and غ. Buruj Academy’s Quranic Arabic instructors address these phonetically before introducing written forms. Students drill sound distinctions through minimal pairs—words that differ by one letter—so their ears train before their tongues attempt production. This reduces fossilized mispronunciation later.

Buruj Academy's Quranic Arabic Beginner Course doesn't just teach language skills. It teaches the ability to sit with the Mushaf, recognize familiar words, and understand their grammatical function without translation dependency.
Learning Quranic Arabic transforms how students engage with the Quran during Salah, recitation, and study. These are the specific competencies beginners develop through consistent work with Buruj Academy's curriculum.
Students stop relying on transliteration within the first two months. They recognize letters, vocalization marks, and word boundaries. Reading feels slow at first, but it's real. Buruj Academy's instructors prioritize accuracy over speed because fluency follows comprehension, not the reverse.
By the end of the beginner track, students recognize and understand 200–300 high-frequency Quranic words. This vocabulary base allows them to grasp the general meaning of verses in commonly recited Surahs like Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran, and Al-Kahf without immediately reaching for translation.
Students learn to spot past, present, and command verbs. They identify subjects, objects, and descriptive phrases. Buruj Academy's curriculum teaches these patterns through verse analysis, so grammar becomes a lens for understanding revelation, not a set of memorized charts disconnected from meaning.
The correct recitation of Quranic Arabic is fundamentally dependent on mastering the principles of Tajweed. These essential rules ensure that every sound and letter is pronounced accurately, preserving the divine meaning. Buruj Academy's instructors integrate Makharij training into Arabic lessons, so students produce sounds like ض, ط, and خ correctly from the start. This prevents the common problem of reading Arabic words with incorrect articulation points.
Once students can read and understand basic structures, they access Tafsir more meaningfully. They notice why a word is chosen, how a phrase is constructed, and what nuances the Arabic carries. Buruj Academy's Quranic Arabic for Beginners lays the foundation for this deeper engagement.

Real transformations from students who mastered the Quran with our courses
Buruj Academy’s Quranic Arabic Beginner Course is designed for adults ready to move beyond translation and engage with the Quran’s original language. Lessons are structured, patient, and Quran-focused from day one.
Buruj Academy has spent over a decade refining how to teach Quranic Arabic to English speakers. The methods, materials, and instructor training are built around one goal: helping beginners read and understand the Quran in Arabic.
Buruj Academy's Arabic teachers hold degrees in Classical Arabic or Islamic studies and demonstrate fluency in English. They are tested on their ability to explain grammatical concepts clearly, not just to know them. Many instructors have taught hundreds of beginner students, so they know where confusion arises.
Every grammar point is introduced through actual Quranic text. Students don't learn verb conjugations in isolation. They learn how قَالَ appears in Surah Yusuf, how يَقُولُ functions in Surah Al-Baqarah, and how قُلْ commands appear across the Mushaf. This contextual approach increases retention.
Some adults need more time on pronunciation. Others grasp sounds quickly but struggle with grammar. Buruj Academy's instructors adjust lesson pacing and focus based on each student's progress. One-on-one sessions allow for this real-time customization.
Beginners don't need to learn every Arabic word. They need the words that appear most often in the Quran. Buruj Academy's curriculum prioritizes this strategically. By focusing on the top 300 words, students achieve disproportionate reading comprehension early.
Most adult learners have work, family, and other commitments. Buruj Academy offers sessions across multiple time zones and allows rescheduling with notice. Consistency matters more than intensity. Three 30-minute sessions per week outperform one 90-minute weekly marathon for most students.
Learning Quranic Arabic takes time. Buruj Academy's pricing reflects this reality. Monthly subscription plans and multi-month packages keep costs manageable for students who need 6–12 months to complete the beginner track. Quality instruction shouldn't be financially prohibitive.
Buruj Academy’s Quranic Arabic for Beginners gives English-speaking adults the tools to read, understand, and connect with the Quran’s language. Lessons are structured, Quran-focused, and taught by experienced instructors.
