Online Quran Academy FAQs

We are an online Quran academy for children, teaching families in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe since 2019. Every child learns one-to-one with their own qualified teacher, at times you choose, from wherever you live.

English. If you would rather your child was taught in Urdu, tell us and we will arrange it.

Children. Some are starting the Noorani Qaida, some are partway through it, and some already read the Quran and want their Tajweed corrected.

No. We do not run an Ijazah programme and we do not issue an Ijazah. We teach children to read the Quran with Tajweed and to memorise it, and families who want an Ijazah chain are better served by an academy that specialises in it.

No. Every class is live, with a qualified teacher present at that moment. We never send recordings instead of live lessons.

Children start at 4½ and we teach up to 17. Some bright children start at 4.

One child with one teacher, never a group.

Your child opens the Google Meet link and the class begins. The teacher shares the screen and teaches from the book, so your child reads along from the page and is corrected as they read.

The 6 Kalimas with English translation. How to perform ablution (wudu) and prayer (Salah), and how to offer the funeral prayer. Daily duas with English translation, such as before sleeping and before eating. Short surahs from the 30th para, then the whole 30th para or chosen surahs such as Yaseen, Ar-Rahman and Al-Mulk. Ayat-ul-Kursi and the last 2 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. The 99 names of Allah. Ahadith, the sayings of the Prophet, peace be upon him, with English translation. Stories of the Prophets from the Quran. And questions and answers on matters such as Tawheed and resurrection.

Yes. If you would rather your child spent every class on recitation, with no Islamic Studies, tell us and we will teach it that way.

No. Each child has their own teacher, their own lesson, and their own monthly fee. If you want both taught at the same hour you will need two devices. You can also run the classes one after another on a single device. Tell us which suits your home and we will arrange it.

Every teacher holds a qualification from a recognized Islamic institution, and several hold professional degrees, including MBBS doctors and clinical psychologists. Nobody is given a student on an application alone. There is a shortlist, an interview, document and reference checks, training in how we teach, and a live demo class we sit in on.

No. Our teachers are trained in Quranic Arabic rather than raised speaking it.

Every class has a supervisor, and all our supervisors are female. She joins the class link about 2 minutes before the teacher and your child, and her first job is to get both of them online. Once the lesson is running she listens in, moving between the classes she is covering. What she is checking is the quality of the class, not your child's recitation. A sound problem, a frozen screen, or a teacher who is not listening closely enough, and she steps in.

Everything to do with your child is settled there. It has 4 people in it: you, your child's supervisor, the coordinator and the academy manager. Either parent can be in it, or both. Day to day you will hear from the supervisor, usually about timings, by message or voice note. The coordinator comes in when something needs her. The manager comes in for anything administrative. Use it to move a class, ask for a different teacher, or change how your child is taught. We aim to settle it before the next class.

Yes. Send a message in your family group and we will arrange somebody else. The new teacher is told exactly where your child has reached and how they have been taught. The recitation carries on rather than starting again.

Choose the course you want from the Courses menu and click Register Now. Fill in the short registration form and send it. We will contact you on WhatsApp to arrange your free trial classes, within 24 hours and usually much sooner. If you are happy after those, regular classes begin.

Nothing to buy. The books are our own library, at books.livequranlessons.com.

A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera, and an internet connection. Classes run on Google Meet, so there is nothing to install. Headphones help but are not required.

Trial classes are 30 minutes. A regular recitation class is 30 minutes: about 20 minutes of recitation and 10 of Islamic Studies. We also run 45-minute and 1-hour sessions, normally for teenagers and for Hifz, Tafseer and translation.

2, 3, 4 or 5 a week, whichever you choose. That is 8, 12, 16 or 20 classes a month.

A trial can start within an hour or two of your reply on WhatsApp. Same-evening trials are normal.

Arranging your trial class is the only thing we use it for, and we never pass it on to anybody. Once classes start it is the number in your family WhatsApp group.

You are welcome to watch any lesson yourself, without asking first, and a supervisor is listening in on every class. No teacher is given a student until we have checked their certificates and references. We then train them in how we teach, and sit in on a live demo class before they start.

Send a message in your family WhatsApp group. To move a class to later the same day, tell us at least 2 to 3 hours before. To move it to another day, tell us at least 1 hour before.

If the class was missed because of us, we make it up. That covers a class we canceled, a teacher who joined late, and a lesson disturbed at the teacher's end. If the class was missed at your end without telling us, the teacher will have waited and that lesson counts as taken.

Either by adding 15 minutes to the following lessons until the time is made up. Or by giving a full class in one of the teacher's vacant slots or at a weekend.

Yes. Weekday students can reschedule up to 3 classes a month, and weekend students up to 2. We apply the limit strictly only where rescheduling becomes a habit. If something genuine and rare happens, tell us and we will try to help.

Either the class is rescheduled, or a cover teacher takes it. We tell you in your family WhatsApp group and propose a replacement day.
