28 Doors to the Qur'an

28 Doors to the Qur’an is a beautifully designed, adult-friendly introduction to the Arabic alphabet, created especially for new Muslims, returning learners, and anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by learning Qur’ānic Arabic. Rather than treating Arabic as a dry system of symbols, this book invites the reader to approach it as a language of meaning, pattern, and purpose. Each of the 28 letters is presented as a 'door' into the Qur’an, combining clear explanations with visual elegance and thoughtful reflection. Inside, you’ll find:

A step-by-step introduction to the Arabic alphabet, from alif to yāʾ

Clear explanations of letter forms, joining rules, and cursive writing

Gentle introductions to harakāt (vowels), shaddah, sukūn, tanwīn, hamzah, madd, and other essential reading signs

Dedicated sections on sun and moon letters, diphthongs, and common ligatures

Carefully selected Qur’ānic vocabulary and roots to help you recognise patterns and build confidence

Full-colour calligraphy showcases, displaying each letter across the major historical styles

Written in a warm, conversational tone and printed in premium full colour, 28 Doors to the Qur’an is designed to be opened flat, studied slowly, and returned to often. It does not assume prior knowledge, nor does it speak down to the reader. This book is not about rushing to fluency. It is about learning to see Arabic clearly, to read with confidence, and to approach the Qur’an with reverence rather than fear. Whether you are beginning your journey, revisiting the foundations, or teaching others at home, 28 Doors to the Qur’an offers a calm, structured, and dignified path into the language of revelation.
