FIRST LIGHT - The Arabic Alphabet & Silent Dawah
• Introduction: Welcome to your very first step toward a transformative journey at NOON Horizon. This introductory level is carefully designed for absolute beginners who have zero or minimal background in Arabic. The goal of this level is twofold: to bridge the gap between English-speaking youth and the foundational script of the Holy Quran, and to cultivate a deep, internal love for Islam. Students will learn how their own character, manners, and daily behavior serve as the first and most powerful form of calling others to Islam (Silent Dawah).
