How to Learn Quran as a Convert & Non-Arabic Speaker (Step-by-Step Guide)
Accepting Islam is a beautiful milestone, but looking at the Arabic script for the first time can feel intimidating. As a new Muslim or revert, learning to recite the Holy Quran and master daily prayers (Salah) is completely achievable with patient guidance.

1. Start with Audio & Transliteration for Prayer (Salah)

Do not pressure yourself to read Arabic script on day one. Focus on memorizing Surah Al-Fatiha and short surahs using clear audio recordings and English transliteration.
