The Koran is not only the Holy Scripture of the Muslim religion, but also one of the main literary monuments of mankind, the focus of its religious and philosophical thought. Even if you are not an adherent of Islam, but are interested in the history and culture of the Middle East, then you just need to learn how to read the Koran correctly. This will also help in mastering the Arabic language.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, learn the Arabic alphabet, namely the spelling, reading and pronunciation of letters. To do this, use a textbook or tutorial of the Arabic language. In our country, there are quite a few of those published and are being published. You can find a self-study book for Arabic in a bookstore, or download it from one of the sites dedicated to learning foreign languages in general, and Arabic in particular. At the same time, try to find audio files for textbooks, since it is impossible to correctly reproduce the sound of Arabic words on paper.
Step 2
Pay attention to the rules for the placement of stress in Arabic words. As you know, Arabic words can contain, in addition to the main stress, secondary ones. The main stress emphasizes one of the syllables with the help of exhalation and raising the tone, and the secondary ones are only power ones. Remember that learning to read the Qur'an correctly is impossible without mastering the characteristic rhythm of Arabic speech, which consists in alternating unstressed syllables and syllables with primary and secondary stress.
Step 3
Master the rules for combining some words of the Quran, as well as the designation of all types of pauses in reading (pauses in the Quran are quite diverse, and any mistake changes the meaning of the phrase read).
Step 4
Determine how much of the Quran you will learn each day. Read the set number of texts aloud daily, trying to memorize and repeat to yourself throughout the day. Do not move on to the next passage until you have mastered the previous one perfectly.
Step 5
Use the same copy of the Quran for learning so that not only auditory memory works, but also visual memory.
Step 6
As often as possible, try to recite the texts you have mastered in front of people who know the Quran perfectly. They will be able to point out mistakes that you will not notice on your own.
