Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Quran learning and QuranKids
QuranKids is a Quran learning app designed specifically for children. Starting from Elifba letters, it offers step-by-step interactive lessons and fun games covering vowel marks, sukun, shadda, tanween and tajweed. With audio content, visual cards and a reward system, children learn without losing motivation. It supports 6 languages.
Arabic letters are most effectively learned through the Elifba method. First, each letter's plain form is recognized, then beginning-middle-end writing forms are practiced. QuranKids provides audio cards, visual exercises and reinforcement games for each letter. With regular daily practice of 10-15 minutes, Arabic letters can be learned in a short time.
Elifba (also known as Qaida) is a term derived from the first two Arabic letters (Alif and Ba) and refers to the method of teaching Quran reading. Elifba books offer systematic instruction from recognizing Arabic letters through vowel marks, sukun, shadda, tanween, madd letters and basic tajweed rules. QuranKids has made this traditional Elifba approach interactive in a digital environment.
The time to start reading the Quran varies depending on age, study regularity and method. With proper Elifba training, children typically begin reading simple words within 2-4 months after learning basic letters and vowel marks. Adults can progress faster. QuranKids' step-by-step approach and daily short sessions speed up this process. The key is regular daily practice.
Vowel marks (harakat) are signs placed above or below Arabic letters that determine how the letter is pronounced. The basic vowel marks are fatha (above), kasra (below) and damma (above). Additionally, there are sukun, shadda, tanween (double fatha, double kasra, double damma) and madd signs. QuranKids has separate games and practice lessons for each vowel mark, so children learn by hearing each sound and matching exercises.
