Easy Steps in Qur'an Reading - Pupils' Book

This small book starts with the Arabic alphabet and goes on to cover the elements of reading the Arabic script and reading the Qur’an.

Each page and each line of Arabic text is numbered. This makes it easy for class teaching. It also makes it easy to follow the two accompanying audiotapes which has the full recording of the text and which also identify each page and each line by numbers.

This Pupils’ Book has the same Arabic text as the Teacher’s/Self-Study Manual but not the English explanations.

THE SCRIPT USED IN THESE BOOKS IS THE MAJIDI SCRIPT WHICH IS COMMON IN THE SUBCONTINENT AND ELSEWHERE.
