In order to spread the teachings of the Holy Quran, Dawat-e-Islami, the
non-political global movement for the propagation of the Holy Quran and Sunna has
established countless Madris (schools) titled Madrasa-tul-Madna in Pakistan and
abroad. These Madris hold classes of if and Nira. To date, approximately 72,000
Madan children are being taught if and Nira for free in Pakistan. Similarly,
Madrasa-tul-Madna classes (for male adults) are held in various Masjid etc. almost
daily after alt-ul-Ish. Islamic brothers learn the correct recitation of the Holy Quran,
pronouncing the Arabic letters from their proper articulators (Makhrij), Dus
(supplications), al and the Sunan, all for free. In addition, thousands of Madrasa-tul-
Madna classes (for female adults) are held daily within the homes not just in Pakistan,
but also in several other countries of the world. As an example, to date, approximately
1,317 Madrasa classes for Islamic sisters take place almost on a daily basis in Bb-ul-
Madna (Karachi), in which more than 12,017 Islamic sisters learn the Holy Quran, al,
Sunan and Dus, all for free.

methodology for each lesson. The V.C.D. of the Madan Qida will also be released very
soon by Maktaba-tul-Madna, a department of Dawat-e-Islami

further helpful in understanding the Madan Qida thereby making the recitation of the
Holy Quran easier.
