On Thursday, 24 September 2026, students of TK Al Siddiq International took part in a Qur’an learning activity at the Qur’an Centre. On this occasion, the children were introduced to the Hijaiyah letters through the Nuroniyah method. This activity formed part of the Qur’an learning programme provided for the children in an enjoyable environment appropriate to their stage of development, particularly within the learning programme at Al Siddiq International.
Before beginning the Nuroniyah session, the children followed their usual morning routine. The day began with lining up, followed by journaling. Afterwards, the children performed Duha prayer together. These routines form part of the children’s daily habits, helping them begin their school activities in an orderly manner while introducing Islamic values into their everyday routines.
After the Duha prayer, the children were given some time to play before moving on to the next activity. Following playtime, they had snack time, followed by toilet time. Once all the morning routines had been completed, the children prepared to take part in the Nuroniyah learning session together at the Qur’an Centre.
The Nuroniyah session was led by Ustadz Mudzakky, the Qur’an teacher at TK Al Siddiq International. During the session, the children were introduced to the Hijaiyah letters as a foundation for learning to read the Qur’an. The Nuroniyah method is one approach to learning Qur’anic reading that is structured progressively, beginning with recognising the Hijaiyah letters and learning how to pronounce them correctly, including paying attention to the makharijul huruf, or the points of articulation of the letters.
Learning the Hijaiyah letters through the Nuroniyah method does not focus solely on the children’s ability to recognise the shapes of the letters. They are also guided to understand and pronounce each letter correctly. As learning progresses, the material can gradually move from individual letters to connected letters, followed by an introduction to harakat and other forms of Qur’anic reading. Through these stages, children can develop a stronger foundation before learning to read sequences of Qur’anic verses.
Through this activity, the students of TK Al Siddiq International were not only learning to recognise Hijaiyah letters but were also beginning to build a closer relationship with the Qur’an from an early age. Learning took place collectively under the guidance of the teacher, allowing the children to follow examples of pronunciation, listen carefully, and practise saying the letters they were learning. The Qur’an Centre therefore provided a welcoming space where children could learn about the Qur’an in a fun and engaging way.
The introduction to Hijaiyah letters through the Nuroniyah method is expected to serve as an important first step in developing the children’s ability to read the Qur’an. Through learning that is carried out gradually and consistently, the children can become increasingly familiar with the Hijaiyah letters, develop accurate pronunciation, and nurture a love for and closer connection with the Qur’an from an early age.
