About the Instructor

As Salaam Alaykum 

My name is Mustafa Ahmed and welcome to Baby Steps to Quran. I am the founder of Baby Steps to Quran and will be your instructor on this course. I have studied Tajweed and Quran for over 10 years and worked as a teacher of Arabic / Quran for 8 years in both a madrasah and home tuition. During that time, I enrolled in a teaching institute to learn about education in the UK and started to work with children in youth community projects. I also worked in state schools as a Teacher Assistant for SEN children. I developed many skills during my training some of which includes understanding:

 

  • Types of learning (Audiology, Visual, Kinaesthetic)
  • SEN
  • Classroom Management
  • Behavioural Management
  • Lesson Planning
  • Inclusive learning for all children

 

This led me to create the Baby Steps to Quran program. This series has been designed to develop children in their reading and writing skills of Arabic and to address the needs of reading Quran with correct Tajweed and Makharaj. This book has been designed to cater for the needs of all children and has different forms of learning techniques to accommodate a child’s learning needs.

 

There are 3 skills that will be developed when going through the series

  • Writing
  • Reading
  • Pronunciation

 

In the ‘Baby Steps to Quran’ Series, I have taken this approach to teaching the Quran by using these 3 skills. The key to the series is making everything simple, easy, attractive, and enjoyable for the child to learn Quran and develop their knowledge of how to read. It contains tasks, activities, and tests that children are familiar with from a young age. The series uses common resources and methods of teaching to develop their reading and writing skills of the Quran, along with video tutorials that will help you aid in the child’s learning throughout the series.

 

"Assalaamu Alaykum. Alhamdulilah it has been a great pleasure to have you as my children's Quran teacher. You have all the abilities and techniques of teaching, the one to one you gave my children, the way you made them feel confident in themselves and also they felt very comfortable reading with you. May Allah reward you for all your efforts" Dipa Hussain
