Murouj Academy runs online Quran classes for adults and Quran classes for beginners: live, one-to-one lessons that teach you to read the Quran, starting from the first Arabic letter if you need to. Women are taught by female teachers and men by male teachers, every teacher is a native Arabic speaker, and Murouj matches your teacher. Your first class is a free trial.
Worried about reading aloud in front of others? In our classes there is no one else: only you and your teacher, on the same Quran page. No question is too basic. Our guide to Arabic alphabet pronunciation is a gentle place to look before your first lesson.
A woman who has recently become Muslim learns one-to-one with a female teacher, patiently and from the very beginning. You and your teacher decide what comes first, such as the Arabic letters, Al-Fatiha or the basics of prayer. Read more on our page for new Muslim sisters learning the Quran. Our free guides to the rules of Islam and learning about Islam for beginners are good companions to your lessons.
Women are always taught by female teachers, strictly, and men by male teachers. Male teachers never teach girls or women. Under our policy on privacy and Islamic etiquette, no non-mahram man can see a female student during her lesson. Within that rule, Murouj matches you with a suitable teacher for the free trial class and switches you to another if the fit is not right. See our female Quran teachers.
Male teachers teach boys and men from age 4, with no upper age limit. Every teacher qualifies after an ijazah and recitation check, a Tajweed knowledge check, a teaching skills check, an English fluency check and a mock lesson, and only the top 4% of applicants qualify.

A native Arab teacher hears you recite every lesson, corrects mistakes as you make them and builds a plan around your goals. Videos and apps help with practice between lessons, but have no live listener.
