Nazra Qur’an refers to the practice of reading the Qur’an by looking at the Arabic text, with correct pronunciation, fluency, and Tajweed, but without memorization.
It’s a foundational skill for anyone learning to recite the Qur’an from the Mushaf (written text). Nazra is usually taught after completing a Qaida (like Noorani, Rahmani, or Iqra Qaida).
