What It Is

What is Reciting the Quran in Surabaya?

Understanding Quran Recitation in Surabaya means building a strong Islamic foundation in a city with a tradition of reciting the Quran that has been rooted since the era of the Wali Songo. Reciting the Quran means reading it correctly, beginning with knowing the hijaiyah letters, joining the harakat, then reading the mushaf with proper tajweed.

Knowing the makhraj, the place each letter exits from across five regions of the mouth.

Reading the mushaf with tartil, a calm and orderly pace that keeps to the rules.

The Arabi Advantage

What Makes Reciting at Arabi Different

Three main pillars behind every recitation session you have.

The Makhraj Guarded from the Start

Each letter is trained from its exit point, and letters with close sounds are trained separately, so correct reading forms from the very first page.

Munaqasyah as the Gateway

Moving up a level happens after passing the munaqasyah exam, so the reading foundation is tested and every stage is passed in full.

Practice with Similar Letters

The Arabi Method gives special practice for telling apart letters whose makhraj is close, such as sin and syin or ha and kha.

Arabi Method

Five Pillars of the Arabi Method in Quran Recitation

The Arabi Method delivers systematic teaching of Quran Recitation for students in Surabaya, from the Ampel quarter to Sukolilo, with clear stages so the results take root. How Arabi settles correct reading right from the first page.

Talqin

The teacher voices the letters and verses with the correct makhraj, the student listens then copies, so the right sound is planted from the very first example.

Musyafahah

The student watches how the teacher's lips and tongue move while sounding the letters, then imitates it. This keeps pronunciation precise, above all for the harder letters.

Talaqqi

The student reads before a teacher who listens in person. The instant a slip appears, the reading is put right and repeated until the sound is correct and holds.

Guarding the Makhraj

Each letter is drilled from where it exits, namely the throat cavity, the throat, the tongue, the two lips, and the nasal cavity. Letters with near sounds are drilled apart.

Munaqasyah

Before rising a level, the student is tested on fresh material and measured on fluency, speed, accuracy, and correctness of makhraj. They move up once they pass.

Guidance

Guidance in Reading the Quran

وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا

Wa rattilil-qur'ana tartila

And recite the Quran with tartil.

QS Al-Muzzammil: 4

Reading with tartil, that is slowly and orderly according to the rules, is the foundation of the manners of learning recitation at Arabi.

Reviews

Stories from Students and Companions

4.9 From 34 learner and guardian reviews

My child now reads iqra with confidence because the ustadzah patiently hears each page. Every week a report arrives that lets me follow the progress.

I began from knowing the letters at the age of 40 and never felt awkward because I was guided privately. Now I have started reading verse fragments with tajweed.

The online class over video call turned out comfortable. The teacher shows a digital mushaf and still hears my reading in person, and the evening schedule is flexible.
