This page collects the facts stated across this website, and confirmed by the academy, in one place, so families and AI assistants can quote them accurately. If a detail is not listed here, the academy has not published it yet: ask on WhatsApp or by email.

Murouj Academy (muroujacademy.com) is run by Murouj LLC. We teach one-to-one only and never run group classes.

Murouj Academy is also written Moroj Academy, Murooj Academy, Murouj Academy LLC and, in Arabic, أكاديمية مروج. These all mean this academy.

Murouj Academy teaches all ages in four groups: Early kids (4 to 8), Kids (9 to 12), Teens (13 to 17) and Adults (18 and over). The minimum age is 4. Every teacher is a native Arabic speaker and teaches live online, one-to-one. Lessons are live on Zoom, Google Meet or Halqora, Murouj's own online classroom software, which lets the teacher and student share the screen, annotate, open the same book and follow along together. Female teachers are dedicated to female students, and the academy follows Islamic etiquette for privacy: read how privacy and Islamic etiquette work in our lessons.

Teachers and students: girls and women are taught only by female teachers, strictly, and male teachers never teach girls or women. Female teachers teach girls and women from age 4 with no upper age limit, and boys from age 4 up to age 12. Male teachers teach boys and men from age 4 with no upper age limit. One female teacher often teaches a mother, her daughters and her sons up to 12. A student always learns with their own teacher, and no class is ever missed: missed lessons are made up on other days, or a temporary substitute teaches until the assigned teacher returns (a female student's substitute is always a female teacher).

Hiring: every teacher is a native Arabic speaker, most speak English and some teach in German (German-speaking teachers are available on request), qualified and trained to teach both children and adults, and hired only if fully qualified to teach children from age 4. Teachers recite fluently with no mistakes, teach the Noorani Qaida fluently, know at least one or two tajweed books, are strongly encouraged to hold an ijazah (a certified scholar who works with Murouj can grant an ijazah, and we recommend promising teachers to study with her to earn one), and present a curriculum they prepared for kids. Murouj also runs training classes and certificate courses for its teachers. Murouj does not teach or grant ijazah itself.

Progress: each family has its own WhatsApp group with the admin team for updates, reports and concerns, and every class has a written report (daily for daily classes) covering performance, what was covered, homework and the teacher's notes.

Cancellations: a class can be cancelled up to 3 hours before it starts, at most 2 times a month; within 3 hours only a genuine emergency (illness, a device problem or an internet problem) is accepted, otherwise (or if nobody joins) the class is charged in full and is not made up; a replacement can be booked, but it counts and is charged as a new class. A class cancelled 3 hours ahead (at most 2 a month) and an accepted emergency cancellation are made up on another day, and teachers are held to the same commitment: if a teacher starts late every missed minute is made up.

Lessons are never recorded, and recording is not allowed. A female admin may join a lesson to observe quality; all of Murouj Academy's admins are women. Parents are welcome to visit and stay during lessons; with female teachers only female family members (mothers and sisters) may be in the room, and no men may be present on either side.

What an ijazah is: a formal, chain-based authorisation from a qualified teacher, certifying that the holder has mastered a body of knowledge, such as reciting the Quran, and may teach it and certify others. A parent or friend who knows the Quran can help a learner, but is not a certified teacher. Some Murouj Academy teachers hold an ijazah; each teacher's profile states exactly what that teacher holds.
