Learn to read the Quran.
In 30 days.
There is a kind of peace that arrives when you can read Allah's words yourself, in your own voice, on the page. Those words have healed tired souls for a long time, and they can reach yours too. One letter a day, said out loud, is enough to begin. It only works if you really want it.
You have probably tried before.
You tried all 28 letters at once. You started a few videos. Then the days filled up, and the Quran stayed closed.
Be gentle with yourself. A crowded page is a hard place to begin when you already feel behind.
Try one letter, just belowCome and try one letter.
This is what a lesson in the Lab feels like. Tap a letter, listen to it, and watch the shape change when it sits at the start of a word, in the middle, or at the end.
In the full Lab you meet all 28 letters, with real recorded voices and short games to practise. See all 28 letters
Sounds like "b" in "boat"
The same letter changes shape in a word:
A month toward reading Allah's words.
Each week rests on the week before. You learn what a mark does before anyone asks you to remember its name.
Meet the letters
Each letter's shape and its sound, a few at a time, so they have room to settle.
Add the little marks
The small marks above and below a letter. They tell you which sound to make.
Join them into words
Letters hold onto each other and become a word you can point to on the page.
Stop, double, hold
Some sounds stop short. Some double. Some are held a little longer.
Read with a calm pace
Where to pause and take a breath, so the reading stays calm and clear.
"I was born Muslim, but I couldn't read the Quran."
During COVID I suddenly had time, and one question would not leave me: when I meet Allah, what will I say about never learning to read His words?
With dyslexia, a whole page of ruling felt overwhelming, and I struggled to keep up with the videos I tried. What finally helped was slowing down and learning one letter at a time. I built this course so you can learn to read the Quran at your own pace, starting with the very first letter.
That became the Reading Lab. I made it for anyone who wants to begin, whether the Quran has been in your home for years or you are opening it for the first time. The Everyday Muslim team stands behind it with me.

You try it yourself
A lesson asks you to tap, listen, and answer. A letter tends to stay once your own voice has said it.
Short enough to finish
The lessons end before you are worn out. A small visit on ordinary days is easier to keep than one long night you never repeat.
Room to get it wrong
Miss a letter and try again. Practice is private. Allah is merciful with a slow start, and He already knows you showed up.
Your place is kept
Replay any letter or lesson as often as you need. If a week gets away from you, you return to the same spot.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." One day those words can leave your own mouth. They have healed tired souls for a long time, and they can reach yours too.
One day you open the Quran, and Allah's words are yours to read.
Worried you cannot do it?
Almost everyone feels that way at the start. Here are honest answers.
I don't know any Arabic at all. Can I really do this?
Yes. You can. You start with the shape and sound of one letter, and every step is explained in everyday English. You do not need to know a word of Arabic before day one.
Is 30 days realistic?
The course is laid out as 30 short days. Some people move faster. Some need longer, and that is alright. You can repeat a lesson as many times as you need.
How much does it cost?
The beginner course is paid. The price is on the course page, so you can see it before you enrol.
Will I understand what I'm reading?
This course teaches you to read the words of the Quran out loud, carefully. Understanding the meaning comes later. Reading is how that starts.
I'm older, or I've tried and failed before. Is it too late?
It is not too late. Many people have told themselves the chance has passed. The lessons are short, and the practice is private, for the person who felt left behind.
Your first letter
is waiting.
Thirty quiet days from here, you could be reading Allah's words yourself. That peace is closer than it feels. You can begin tonight.
