Book Your Free Trial ClassBasic Qaida (Noorani Qaida)
The Noorani Qaida is the essential first step for anyone learning to read the Quran — it teaches the Arabic alphabet, the short vowels (Harakaat), and the joining of letters into words, all before a student moves on to reciting the Quran itself. This is the exact text our teachers use in the Basic Qaida Reading with Tajweed course, so downloading it now means you or your child can begin practicing letter recognition at home immediately, even before your first class.
Holy Quran with Colored Tajweed
This edition of the Quran uses a colour-coding system to visually highlight different Tajweed rules directly within the Arabic text — for example, marking elongation (Madd), nasalization (Ghunna), and other rules in distinct colours so readers can recognise them at a glance while reciting. This is an invaluable companion resource for students working through our Quran Reading with Tajweed course, as it reinforces what your teacher corrects in real time during live sessions.
Namaz e Jafria (Shia Namaz) PDF
A complete written guide to performing Namaz according to Fiqah e Jafria — covering the correct intention (Niyyah), standing position, recitation, Ruku, Sujud on the Turbah, Tashahhud, and Tasleem, exactly as taught in our Fiqah e Jafria Namaz, Ahkaam, and Wajibaats course. This is especially useful for families preparing a child for Bulugh, or for new Muslims learning Shia prayer for the first time.
Holy Quran with English Translation (Ali Quli Qarai, Phrase by Phrase)
A widely respected English translation of the Quran, presented phrase by phrase alongside the original Arabic text, making it easier for English-speaking readers — particularly second-generation Shia Muslims raised in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia — to follow along and understand the meaning of each verse as they read or recite.
Holy Quran with Persian Translation
A complete Persian-language translation of the Quran, provided for Farsi-speaking members of our community, including the many Iranian Shia families we serve in cities like Richmond Hill, North Vancouver, and Los Angeles.
Tafseer e Namoona
A link to the respected Tafseer e Namoona (Exemplary Commentary), a detailed, multi-volume Quranic commentary widely used within Shia scholarship for deeper study of the Quran’s meanings and context. We link directly to the official source so you can search and study it at the depth you need.
At Al Mehdi Online Quran Center, we believe access to authentic Shia Islamic knowledge shouldn’t depend on whether someone can currently afford classes or has an Islamic centre nearby.

Q: Is the Namaz e Jafria guide suitable for someone who has never prayed before?
