We accept children from age 4. Young children (ages 4–5) begin with Arabic letter recognition in short, engaging 20–25 minute sessions. Full Noorani Qaida lessons typically begin at age 5–6. There is no upper age limit — adult beginners are always welcome at any age.

Absolutely. Many of our students are adults — some learning to read Arabic for the first time, others improving their Tajweed or starting Hifz. Our teachers adapt their approach for adult learners. There is no age limit and no embarrassment — every scholar started as a beginner.

Ijazah is a formal authorization in Quran recitation — a written certificate that names your teacher, their teacher, and the entire chain of transmission going back through an unbroken line of scholars to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. A teacher who holds Ijazah is verified as a qualified, certified Quran scholar. All our teachers hold this certification.

We offer eight programs: Noorani Qaida (for complete beginners), Quran Reading with Tajweed, Quran Memorization (Hifz), Online Tafseer Classes, Quranic Arabic Course, Islamic Studies for Kids (ages 4–15), Ijazah Program (advanced certification), and dedicated Quran Classes for Kids with child-friendly teaching methods.

Noorani Qaida is the world's most widely used beginner's guide to reading the Quran. It teaches the Arabic alphabet, vowels, letter combinations, and basic Tajweed rules — giving students the foundation to read the Quran correctly from scratch. It is the correct starting point for any beginner, whether a child of 4 or an adult who has never read Arabic before.

Tajweed is the set of rules governing how the Quran is recited correctly — proper pronunciation of every letter from its correct point of articulation (Makhraj), elongation of vowels (Madd), nasal sounds (Ghunna), merging (Idgham), and stopping (Waqf). Reciting with Tajweed is obligatory (Fard) according to Islamic scholars. It ensures the Quran is recited as it was revealed and as the Prophet ﷺ recited it.

It depends on session frequency and daily practice outside of class. Students with 5 classes per week and consistent daily revision typically complete Hifz in 3–5 years. Students with 2–3 classes per week and good daily practice may take 5–7 years. Our teachers build a personalized memorization schedule based on your pace, lifestyle, and goals.

To earn Ijazah, you must first have memorized the complete Quran (all 30 Juz) with correct Tajweed. You then recite the entire Quran to your certified Ijazah teacher — multiple times, across many sessions — until the teacher is satisfied that your recitation meets the required standard. You then receive a written Ijazah certificate with the complete chain of transmission. The program typically takes 1–2 years for qualified students.

Our Islamic Studies curriculum for children covers: the Six Kalimas (with meaning and understanding), how to pray Salah correctly (all postures, recitations, and meanings), Masnoon Duas for daily life (morning, evening, before eating, sleeping, and more), the life of the Prophet ﷺ (Seerah), basic Aqeedah (the six pillars of Iman), and Islamic manners and values for daily life in America.

In most cases, within 24 hours. After you register for your free trial, we match you with a certified teacher based on your subject, level, gender preference, and time zone. We send you a Zoom link for your first class. Most families have their first session the same day or the next day.

Monthly progress reports are sent by email. They include your teacher's assessment of your progress, areas of strength, areas needing improvement, and goals for the next month. This keeps parents informed about their child's Quran journey and holds both teacher and student accountable.
