A comfortable, private space to learn
Many sisters want to learn but feel unsure about joining a class or reading in front of others.

- Camera: whether the camera is on is agreed between you and your teacher.
When can you learn?
Because around 60 female teachers work in shifts, most sisters can find a time that fits their day. Times depend on teacher availability and are confirmed with you before you start:
- Early morning: before work or before the children wake up.
- School hours: while the children are at school, a popular time for mothers.
- Evenings: after work, or once the house is quiet.
- Weekends: longer, calmer sessions when the week is busy.
Choose your starting point
- I cannot read Arabic yet: the Arabic letters, their sounds and how they join, step by step. A realistic first goal: reading short words and your first verses with confidence.
- I read, but slowly or with mistakes: fluency, pronunciation and Tajweed rules applied while you recite. A realistic first goal: reciting the surahs you pray with more accurately.
- I want to memorise: a structured Hifz plan with steady, regular revision. A realistic first goal: a weekly portion you can keep alongside family life.
- I want to understand and teach my children: Quranic Arabic, tafsir and Islamic studies. A realistic first goal: understanding what you recite and sharing it at home.
What sisters can study
- Quran reading from zero: from the Arabic letters to reading the Mushaf.
- Tajweed for women: correct your recitation with a female teacher. See online Tajweed classes.
- Hifz and revision: memorise at a pace that fits your week. See the Hifz programme.
- Arabic: Quranic Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, or spoken Egyptian or Levantine. See Arabic classes.
- Tafsir: the meaning of the surahs you recite.
- Islamic studies: including fiqh of worship. See Islamic Studies for adults.
Quran classes for new Muslim women
New Muslim women can start from the very beginning with a female teacher: the Arabic letters, the short surahs needed for salah, and the essentials of worship, one step at a time. Lessons can be explained in English, and there are no silly questions.
Learning as a busy mother
Many sisters begin with no Arabic at all, and lessons can be explained in English when needed. Short, regular lessons are often easier to keep than long ones, and your teacher plans each one around what you want to achieve. Between lessons, you can listen to the surahs you are learning on Quran.com.
Mothers and daughters, one academy
Girls at Alfjr are taught by female teachers only, each under a female supervisor, so a mother and her daughter can both learn with women. Children learn through stories, games and Alfjr's own books, and plans for children start at $36 per month.
