Discover the best audio CDs, how to use learning videos, and how not to spend too much time on screen. Whether you learn alone or with a teacher, audio and video help you tremendously.
Audio: How to Use It Without Getting Lost
Why Audio is Essential
You cannot pronounce well by just reading a book silently. Audio shows you how to pronounce each letter and how to put sounds together.
Audio helps to:
- Hear the correct pronunciation
- Correct your pronunciation mistakes quickly
- Learn the rhythm and fluency of the language
- Memorize sounds in your head
How to Use the Nourania Audio CD
Step 1: Listen First (10 minutes)
Before reading the book, listen to the CD to get your ears used to the sounds. Don't try to understand - just listen.
Step 2: Read AND Listen at the Same Time (20 minutes)
Read the book WHILE the audio is playing. Follow the text with your finger. This creates a link between what you see written and what you hear.
Step 3: Repeat After the Audio (15 minutes)
Listen to a sentence, then repeat it right away. Try to speak exactly like the audio. Repeat 3 to 5 times.
Step 4: Read Alone (15 minutes)
Read alone without the audio, then listen to the audio. See the differences and correct yourself.
Total Duration: 60 minutes. It's better to do it in 2 or 3 short sessions rather than one long one.

Routine with Videos
Day 1: Watch a Lesson Video (20 minutes)
Watch the video for the new lesson. Pause often to understand well.
Day 2: Read and Practice with the Book (30 minutes)
Use the Nourania book + audio to practice what the video showed.
Day 3 and 4: Watch the Video Again (15 minutes each day)
Watch the video again to retain it well. Watching multiple times helps more than long study.
Day 5: Test Yourself (15 minutes)
Read and speak by yourself, then compare with the video. Where are your mistakes?
Tips for Learning with Video
- Use slow motion (0.75x or 0.5x) to better see how the mouth moves
- Listen to THE SOUND, don't just watch without listening
- Practice YOURSELF DURING the video, don't just watch
- Go back and watch again if you missed something
- Practice mouth movements in a mirror while you watch
QR Codes in the Book: Advantages and Limitations
What is a QR Code in the Nourania Book?
Some modern Nourania books have QR codes. You scan the code with your phone and you can listen to or watch the lesson.
Advantages
- You can listen to the audio right away
- The book and sound are together
- You don't need to buy a separate CD
- Resources can be changed easily
Problems
- You need internet (wifi or data)
- You need a phone (not good for small children)
- The links may stop working after a long time
- Audio on the internet may not be very good quality
Advice: QR codes are good as an addition. But buy a physical CD as your main resource - it's more reliable.

Tips to Avoid Too Much Screen Time
Problem: too much time on screen
Audio and video are useful, but too much screen:
- Reduces your concentration
- Tires your eyes
- Lots of distractions (notifications)
- Replaces real learning
Solutions: good balance
20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes on screen, take a 20-second break. Look far away.
Limit screen time: Maximum 20 to 30 minutes of screen per day. The rest of the time, use the book + audio CD.
Turn off notifications: Disable notifications while you study the video. Notifications distract you.
Learn actively, not just watch: Don't watch videos just doing nothing. Practice YOURSELF during the video. Pause, try, then continue.
Less screen for children: Children under 10 years old should not use Nourania applications for more than 15 minutes per day. Prefer the book + CD + a teacher.
FAQ: Audio and Video Resources
Do I need both the CD AND the videos?
No, you can have one or the other. If you're starting out, a lesson video (20 to 30 min) + audio CD (to practice every day) is very good. The videos help you understand; the audio helps you practice.
If you don't have enough money, buy the CD first - it's more important than the video.
Where can I find the best Nourania audio recordings?
Al-Imen sells official CDs that are very good (Al-Forqane). YouTube also has free videos with lessons, but the quality varies. For the best quality, buy the CDs - the audio is better than on the internet.
Do the QR codes in today's Nourania books work well?
QR codes work when the book is brand new. But after a long time, the links may no longer work. Physical CDs always last. If the book has QR codes, it's a bonus, but don't rely on it alone for learning.
Which Nourania app do you recommend for children?
QuranicBoards is well-designed for children. It's fun and you can see your progress. But apps don't replace a real teacher or parent. The best way: app 10 to 15 min per day + a teacher or parent who helps.
Don't let the child just use the app alone.
What does each lesson of the Nourania method cover?
Lessons 1 to 5 cover isolated letters and their forms with short vowels (fatha, kasra, damma). Lessons 6 to 10 introduce elongations (madd), sukun, and tanwin. Lessons 11 to 17 address applied tajweed rules: nun sakinah, meem sakinah, solar and lunar lam, and exercises on complete Quranic verses.
How long does it take to complete the 17 lessons?
On average, a dedicated adult completes it in 2 to 3 months with 30-minute sessions, 5 days a week. A child generally progresses in 4 to 6 months with shorter sessions. The pace varies depending on the profile: an Arabic speaker will advance faster through the first lessons, while a non-Arabic speaker will take more time on the phonetics lessons.
Key Points to Remember
- Nourania audio and video are very helpful for learning faster and better. But they do not replace working with the book and practicing often.
- The best formula: Book + Audio CD + practice 30 min per day = you succeed in 4 to 8 weeks.
