Fill in the form on our contact page and choose "Book a free trial". Your details open in WhatsApp, and our team replies to arrange a trial time that suits your time zone.

Yes. The trial class is free and has no commitment. No payment is taken before or during the trial. You meet the teacher, try a live lesson and then decide if you want to continue.

Girls, women and young boys from any country can join. Lessons are arranged around each student's age, level and time zone, whether they are complete beginners or already reading the Quran.

No. Beginners start with Noorani Qaida, which teaches the Arabic letters and sounds step by step. You do not need any Arabic before your first class.

We offer six courses: Noorani Qaida, Quran Reading, Quran with Tajweed, Hifz Quran, Quran with Tarjuma (translation) and Islamic Studies. See the details on our courses page.

Most children who cannot yet read the Quran start with Noorani Qaida. If your child can already read, the teacher checks their level in the trial class and suggests Quran Reading, Tajweed or Hifz.
