Alfjr Academy is an online Islamic school offering one-to-one classes in Qur’an recitation and Tajweed, Arabic language, and Islamic studies. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Abdelrhman Abdo and Ms. Ahlam Othman, it pairs Muslim children and adults worldwide with certified, native-Arabic tutors for personalised live lessons in both Arabic and English.
More than education — a journey of identity
We believe true learning is never passive. Our goal is for every student to live the experience: to understand deeply, engage actively, and grow with real confidence in their faith, language and identity. We don’t just teach — we design joyful, interactive learning journeys tailored to each student’s style, helping them carry Qur’anic understanding and Islamic character into everyday life.
Online Islamic education that fits your family
Whether your family is in New York, London, Toronto or Sydney, Alfjr Academy brings a qualified Qur’an teacher straight to your living room. Our one-to-one online classes in Qur’an and Tajweed, Arabic, and Islamic studies are scheduled around your time zone and taught in both Arabic and English — so children growing up in the West never have to choose between school life and their deen. From Nooraniyah and fluent Qur’an reading to Hifz memorization, conversational Arabic and age-appropriate Aqeedah, every lesson is built around your child’s level, pace and goals.
Our Vision
To become the world’s leading platform for Arabic and Islamic education — where learners of all ages experience transformative, engaging and personalised learning that strengthens their faith, identity and connection to the Muslim community.
Our Mission
To provide a safe, inspiring and empowering online space where learners build Islamic knowledge, character and communication skills in a way that is relevant to their lives — nurturing confident, value-driven ambassadors of Islam.
Why parents choose Alfjr
Placement with purpose
We don’t assign just any teacher. Every journey starts with a consultation call, then we hand-pick a tutor who specialises in your child’s age group and goals.
Try before you commit
Every new student starts with a free trial. Not 100% comfortable? We offer a second trial with another teacher — free — so the choice is truly yours.
Fun is fundamental
No dry, repetitive lessons. Every tutor is trained to make sessions interactive, joyful and student-centred — because that is how children and adults learn best.
Practical Arabic
Students don’t just read after the teacher. They understand meanings, use words in context, and learn to express themselves in living Arabic.
Living Islam
We don’t only recite verses — we explore their values. We don’t only teach how to pray — we explain why. Islam here is lived and loved, not just learned.
A plan for every learner
Each student gets a custom learning path, personal progress tracking, and parents get a direct line to the teacher through a dedicated group.
Always-on support
Every family is assigned a dedicated supervisor, with detailed reports after each session and monthly summaries — so you always know how your child is doing.
World-class recitation, brought to your child
Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Saleh, a tutor at Alfjr Academy, won first place in one of the world’s most prestigious Qur’an recitation competitions — the Sheikh Ali Sufi International Qira’at Award — competing against more than 40 reciters worldwide and outperforming contestants from Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Kuwait. The same calibre of teaching is what we bring to every Alfjr student.
Taught by qualified Al-Azhar tutors
Our tutors are native speakers of Arabic and graduates of Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s leading centres of Islamic learning. They are chosen not only for their knowledge, but for their patience, warmth and gift for making lessons engaging — in both Arabic and English.
