Many Muslim women prefer to learn the Quran with a female teacher, in a private and comfortable setting. Online Quran classes for sisters make this easy: you can study from home, at times that fit around family and work, with a qualified female teacher. This guide explains what sisters can study, how the classes work and how to get started.
Why many sisters choose a female teacher
- Comfort and privacy: you can recite freely and ask any question.
- Understanding: a female teacher understands the schedules of mothers, students and working women.
- Women’s Fiqh: questions related to purification and worship are easier to ask.
What sisters can study
- Quran reading from zero with the Noor Al-Bayan method.
- Recitation and Tajweed with correct pronunciation. See the Tajweed course.
- Quran memorization (Hifz) at a realistic pace. See Quran memorization for sisters.
- Arabic for understanding the Quran.
- Islamic studies: Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah and manners. See our Islamic studies programs.
How classes fit a busy life
- 30-minute classes that fit into a nap time, a lunch break or the evening.
- Flexible scheduling around the clock, in your time zone.
- Two to four classes a week, adjusted as your schedule changes.
- Learn alongside your children: each family member can have their own one-to-one class, with 10% off for families.
A typical class
- A short revision of the last lesson, with corrections.
- The new lesson: reading, Tajweed rules or new memorization.
- Time for your questions.
- A small, clear target for the next class.
Tips for sisters starting the Quran journey
- Choose a fixed time each week and protect it.
