FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to start classes?
A laptop, tablet or phone with a stable internet connection, and Zoom or Skype installed. We send the Mushaf pages and materials digitally, so there is nothing to buy.
Can I choose a female teacher for my daughter?
Yes. We have qualified female teachers (Hafizahs and Alimahs) and you can request one on the free-trial form.
How long is each class?
Every class is one hour, one-to-one with your teacher. For young children the hour is broken up with games and short breaks. Custom programmes with a different rhythm are available on request.
What if I miss a class?
Tell us in advance and we reschedule it as a free make-up class. Plans B, C and D include unlimited make-ups.
Which time zones do you cover?
All of them. Our teachers work in shifts around the clock, so students in the Americas, Europe, the Gulf, Asia and Australia all find convenient slots.
Do you give certificates?
Yes. Students receive a certificate on completing Qaida, Nazra, Tajweed, each juz of Hifz, and the Islamic Scholar Course.
Is my child safe in online classes?
Every teacher is identity-verified and interviewed. Parents may sit in on any class, and recordings are available on request. We follow a strict code of conduct for online teaching.
Privacy, refunds and disclaimer
We collect only the details needed to schedule and deliver classes, and never sell them. Refunds are available within 7 days of any paid month. Course content is for personal educational use; scholarly rulings are provided for guidance and students are encouraged to consult local scholars for personal situations.
