The teaching and learning of the Holy Qurʼan is a source of great blessing. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The best of you is the one who learns the Holy Qur’an and teaches it to others.”

We are pleased to reproduce the Qāʻidah Yassarnal-Qur’ān with instructions rendered into English. The text of the Qāʻidah, however, remains the same. By following these instructions minutely, a beginner is able to make the best use of this primer which is designed to learn the Arabic text of the Qur’ān correctly and efficiently. Experience has shown that a beginner, even a child, can start reading the Qur’ān within a period of six months.

Following are some of the characteristics of the Qāʻidah Yassarnal- Qur’an:

• Qāʻidah Yassarnal-Qurʼān was written by a great scholar of the Holy Qur’ān, Hazrat Pir Manzoor Muhammad, and was first published in 1904. It has been proved very useful for teaching and learning the Arabic text of the Holy Qur’ān for beginners of all age-groups.
• Qāʻidah Yassarnal-Qur’ān has instructions with each lesson and when followed minutely can be of great help in the correct and efficient reading of the Qur’ān.
• Qāʻidah Yassarnal-Qur’ān contains 40 lessons cum exercises and a beginner can easily go through them within six months. All lessons are simple and arranged in a most systematic method.
• Qāʻidah Yassarnal-Qur’ān is not a Teach Yourself book. The notes given with each lesson are a sort of Teacher’s Guide. However phonetic examples have been added with the notes of lessons to let a grown up proceed by himself once some help has been given to him in the beginning.
