Building strong Islamic foundations
What is Islamic Studies for kids?
At Live Quran Lessons, Islamic Studies is taught by the same teacher who teaches Quran. There is no separate class or second link to save. Every lesson includes time for Quran recitation and time for Islamic Studies.
For beginners, the usual path is Noorani Qaida, then Quran recitation with Tajweed, followed by short surahs, Salah and daily duas. As they grow, students can continue with Hifz, translation, Tafseer and a deeper understanding of each verse.
If you would prefer your child to focus only on Quran recitation, you can choose that option when booking. We will then arrange the class without Islamic Studies, and the whole lesson will be dedicated to recitation.
- Noorani QaidaLearn the basics
- Quran recitationWith Tajweed
- SalahLearn how to pray
- DuasFor daily life
- Prophets' storiesLearn and be inspired
- Tafseer and moreFor older students
- No separate class or extra linkQuran and Islamic Studies together
- Flexible optionsRecitation only if you prefer
- Age-appropriate lessonsSimple, engaging and practical
- Builds strong Islamic valuesIn a supportive environment
Islamic Studies syllabus
What is in the Islamic Studies syllabus?
The syllabus runs from the Kalimas to the stories of the Prophets. Every part is set out below, so you know exactly what your child will learn and memorize.
Prayer
How to make wudu, the washing before prayer, and how to pray Salah correctly. Namaz-e-Janaza, the funeral prayer, is taught alongside.
Daily duas
Your child memorizes the short prayers for the ordinary moments of a day, such as before eating and before sleeping. They learn exactly when each one is said.
Passages from the Quran
Short surahs from Juz Amma, the 30th para, first. Then the whole para, or longer surahs such as Yaseen, Ar-Rahman and Al-Mulk, whichever you choose. Ayat-ul-Kursi and the last 2 verses of Surah Al-Baqarah are memorized too.
The Prophet's words, and the Prophets' stories
Ahadith are the recorded sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Your child learns Ahadith, and hears the stories of the Prophets exactly as the Quran tells them.
Nobody is tested on any of it, and there are no examinations. This part of your child's Islamic education has no fixed number of months either.

It is a live 30-minute video class on Google Meet, 1-to-1, and Islamic Studies is taught inside it.
Book your class
Choose a suitable time in your time zone. Our families are mainly in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, and we offer flexible timings.
Same teacher every week
Your child keeps the same teacher at the scheduled time each week. The timing can be changed later if it stops suiting you.
Live 1-to-1 class on Google Meet
The teacher shares the screen with the book open, so your child reads from exactly the page the teacher is looking at. There is 1 fixed Google Meet link that you are given once, and every class runs on it.
Islamic Studies plan
On the 5-day plan, Friday is Islamic Day. The teacher revises the week's Islamic Studies and then adds 1 new lesson. On 2, 3 or 4 days a week there is no Islamic Day, and every class day runs the same way. If you would like a 5th day, you can ask at registration or at any point later.

More questions(13)
What makes your online Quran academy different?
Your child keeps the same qualified teacher every week, at the same time. Every class is one-to-one. After each class the teacher writes a note: what was covered and what to practise.
Are these live Quran classes or recorded lessons?
Live, always. Every class is a live lesson on video with your child's teacher. We never send recordings in place of live lessons.
What will my child learn in online Quran classes?
Beginners start with the Noorani Qaida. From there it is Quran recitation with Tajweed, and after that Hifz, translation or Tafseer, depending on what a family wants. Alongside the Quran your child learns Islamic Studies. Families on 5 days a week keep Friday as Islamic Day, which revises that week's Islamic Studies and adds one new lesson.
Are your online Quran teachers qualified?
Yes, and it is checked before anyone teaches a child. Every teacher holds a qualification from a recognized Islamic institution, and several hold professional degrees as well. Nobody is given a student on an application alone. There is an interview, a document check, training, and a live demo class we sit in on. The academy page sets out each stage.
Who is watching my child's Quran class?
A supervisor. She joins the link about 2 minutes before the teacher and your child, checks that both are online, and listens in as the lesson runs. She is not there to teach: she is there to make sure the class is a good one. If the sound fails, or the teacher is not listening closely enough to your child, she steps in. Every class is supervised, and all our supervisors are female.
How do I schedule my child's Quran class?
Send us your WhatsApp number on the form, or message us on WhatsApp. We ask for your child's age and the times that suit you. A supervisor places your child with a teacher in a slot at that time, in your time zone. We reply on WhatsApp within 24 hours, and usually within hours.
Can we try the online Quran classes before enrolling?
Yes. Take up to 3 free trial classes first. Use them to check the teacher, the timing, and how your child responds before paying anything.
Can parents sit in on the Quran class?
Yes. You are welcome to watch any lesson, without asking first.
What am I committing to, and what if we want to stop?
There is no contract and no minimum term. Fees are monthly, and you pay for the month ahead. If you want to stop, tell us and we will stop. If you need a break instead, any unused balance carries to the next month. Before your regular classes begin, you can withdraw and get a full refund.
How do we stay in touch once classes start?
Through a WhatsApp group we open for your family after the trial classes. It has 4 people in it: you, your child's supervisor, the coordinator and the academy manager. Use it to move a class, ask for a different teacher, or raise anything at all. We try to settle it before the next class.
What do you do with my WhatsApp number?
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.
Is my child safe in an online Quran class?
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.
How much do online Quran classes for kids cost?
Live Quran Lessons charges monthly, per child, by the days a week your child attends. 2 days a week is $39, 3 days $49, 4 days $59, and 5 days $65. Each lesson is 30 minutes, 1-to-1.
