What You Need for Your First Online Quran Class

A laptop, tablet or phone

Any device with a camera and microphone works. A laptop or tablet makes it easier to see the Qaida or Mushaf on screen.

Headphones and a quiet corner

Headphones help you hear each sound clearly, and a quiet spot helps you focus for 30 minutes.

No Arabic needed

You do not need to know any Arabic. Your teacher starts from the very first letter and explains everything in English or Urdu.

Your first lesson

What Happens in a Beginner's First Quran Class

Minute 1-5

Welcome and goals

Your teacher asks what you already know and what you hope to achieve, whether that is reading the Quran, praying with confidence or helping your children.

Minute 5-20

Your first letters

You learn your first few Arabic letters and their sounds, repeating after the teacher until each one feels natural.

Minute 20-25

Practice together

You read the letters back while your teacher listens and gently corrects each sound.

Minute 25-30

Plan and homework

Your teacher agrees a weekly plan and gives you a few minutes of easy practice for the days between lessons.

Adult beginners

Online Quran Classes for Adult Beginners

Plenty of adults start from zero: people who never had the chance as children, parents who want to read with their children, and reverts. Lessons are private and patient, so you can ask anything and repeat a sound as many times as you need.

Tips

Five Tips for Quran Beginners

Practise a little every day

Ten minutes daily works better than one long session a week.

Listen to good recitation

Hearing a clear reciter helps your ear learn the correct sounds.

Do not rush the Qaida

A strong foundation now makes Quran reading much easier later.

Ask questions

One-to-one lessons are your time; ask your teacher anything.

Use what you learn in Salah

Reciting new Surahs in prayer helps them stay with you.

FAQs

Online Quran Classes for Beginners: FAQs

I can't read any Arabic. Can I join?

Yes. Beginner classes start from the very first letter, so no previous knowledge is needed.

How long until I can read the Quran?

It depends on your age, how many classes you take and how much you practise. As a guide, most adults finish Noorani Qaida in 2 to 4 months and children around 10 in 4 to 6 months.

What is Noorani Qaida?

It is a beginner's book that teaches the Arabic letters, vowel signs and basic Tajweed step by step. It is the first stage of our beginner path.

Do you teach adults and children?

Yes. Lessons are adapted for each age: playful for children, clear and private for adults.

Are female teachers available?

Yes. Sisters and girls can learn with a qualified female teacher.

How much do beginner classes cost?

Plans start from £30 a month for three 30-minute classes a week. Book a free trial first.

Can adults learn to read the Quran from zero?

Yes. Many of our students are adults who started without knowing a single Arabic letter. With patient one-to-one lessons and regular practice, most read the Quran within months.

Do I need to know Arabic before starting Quran classes?

No. Beginner classes start with the Arabic alphabet and explain everything in English or Urdu, so no previous Arabic is needed.

What do I need for an online Quran class?

A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, headphones if possible and a quiet place to sit for 30 minutes.

How many classes a week should a beginner take?

Three 30-minute one-to-one classes a week, with a few minutes of practice on other days, is a good pace for most beginners. Plans with more or fewer days are also available.

Is the trial class free for beginners?

Yes. Every beginner can book a free one-to-one trial class to meet the teacher and try the first lesson before enrolling.
