The student studies (the first level), which is called (Planting). This level is the foundation level for teaching how to read the Holy Qur’an, and reading and writing in Arabic. It is the level upon which other advanced levels are developed, so, we as – teachers and parents – have to take full care of it. We have to pay it the greatest importance because it is like planting a tree, if you plant it well, and the earth accepts the seed; it will grow by the permission of Allah and we can get its fruit.
During this level, the student learns the foundations of Arabic reading, and writing. He/ She learns the articulation points and the characteristics of the Arabic letters in order to pronounce them more clearly. To speak in Arabic as being the language of the Holy Qur’an
We approved on the book “Al-Mujeed For Perfecting reading and Tajweed
” which is a methodological book prepared by specialists who relied on scientific foundations and previous practical experiences while developing such a book. It contains a summary of the books on the rules of reading, such as Al- Qaida Al-Nouraniyyah, Al Qaida – Al Baghdadiyyah, and Nour Al-Bayan.
During teaching this level, we work to develop the student’s memory; as he/she is trained to memorize the Holy Qur’an starting with Juz Amma till as many Ayas that contain stories and moral lessons; in order to facilitate understanding and memorization.
During this level, the student also learns the principles of Islamic education, and the religious matters that a Muslim cannot be ignorant of in terms of doctrine, worship and morals.
