Getting to Know Your City
Arabi Quran Recitation in Balikpapan
Balikpapan is a coastal city in East Kalimantan known for being orderly, clean, and the main gateway to the new National Capital. Muslim families in Balikpapan are spread from the Klandasan and Gunung Sari areas in the city center, Sepinggan and Damai on the southern side, to Batu Ampar, Karang Joang, and Manggar on the steadily growing outskirts. Amid a work rhythm closely tied to the oil, industry, and port sectors, many parents in Balikpapan still want their children to grow up fluent in recitation, close to the Quran, and familiar with Arabic from an early age. The tradition of religious learning in Balikpapan lives through large mosques such as the At-Taqwa Grand Mosque, majelis taklim, madrasahs, and Quran learning gardens active in many neighborhoods.

Arabi Method
Five Pillars of the Arabi Method in Quran Recitation
The Arabi Method for Quran Recitation in Balikpapan arranges learning step by step, from the basics to lasting ability, with the support of an ustadz or ustadzah who adapts to the busy life of families in areas such as Gunung Sari, Sepinggan, and Batu Ampar. How Arabi establishes correct reading from the very first page.
01
Talqin
The teacher pronounces the letters and verses with the correct makhraj, the student listens then imitates, so the right sound takes root from the very first example.
02
Musyafahah
The student watches the movement of the teacher's lips and tongue while pronouncing the letters, then imitates it. This keeps the pronunciation accurate, especially for difficult letters.
03
Talaqqi
The student reads before the teacher who listens directly. The moment there is a slip, the reading is corrected at once, then repeated until the pronunciation is right and sticks.
04
Guarding the Makhraj
Each letter is trained from its exit point, namely the throat cavity, the throat, the tongue, the two lips, and the nasal cavity. Letters with close sounds are trained separately.

FAQ
Questions About Learning Quran Recitation at Arabi
My child only knows a few hijaiyah letters, which level do they start from?
The first session opens with a friendly reading assessment, the teacher listens to the letters the child already knows. From there the right level is set, usually Arabi 1 or Arabi 2. The child continues from the right page, repeating as needed and stepping into new material once the basics are solid.
What are talqin, musyafahah, and talaqqi that the Arabi Method uses?
Talqin is when the teacher pronounces a letter or verse correctly then the student imitates it. Musyafahah is when the student watches the movement of the teacher's lips and tongue while pronouncing then imitates it. Talaqqi is when the student reads then is heard and corrected by the teacher directly. These three ways keep the makhraj and tajweed correct from the start, since every slip in reading is caught and corrected on the spot.
What is munaqasyah and why does it matter for moving up a level?
Munaqasyah is the level advancement exam using new material that has not been practiced before, to assess the fluency, speed, accuracy, and correctness of the makhraj in the student's reading. The student moves up after passing, so the reading foundation is tested before stepping into the next level and every stage is passed in full.
I am already an adult and still stumble when reading the Quran, can I still learn?
Very much so, and you can learn with an easy heart. Many adult students at Arabi begin from recognizing the hijaiyah letters and grow until they read the mushaf. The ustadz and ustadzah guide with patience, a pace that adjusts, and private one-on-one lessons, so you learn comfortably and at ease.

My child often confuses letters that sound similar, what is the solution?
Hijaiyah letters whose makhraj is close, such as sin and syin or ha and kha, do call for separate practice.

How long does it usually take for a student to read the Quran fluently?
