Birmingham's community, in numbers
Birmingham has more Muslims than any other local authority in the UK: 341,811 people, or 29.9% of residents, in the 2021 census. In 2011 the share was 21.8% (ONS 2021, via the MCB).
Evening madrasa is a long-standing pattern for British Muslim children; the IPPR has studied them in depth (IPPR report). Murouj Academy does not replace it. A Birmingham parent might pair the madrasa's group routine with a weekly one-to-one lesson focused on their child's own reading, or use online lessons on the evenings the madrasa is not running.
Which age groups and courses suit Birmingham students?
- Early kids, 5 to 8: Arabic letters and the Qaida, with Islamic studies in simple language.
- Kids, 9 to 12: fluent reading and tajweed, with memorisation of short surahs at a pace set by the teacher.
- Teens, 13 to 17: recitation correction and tajweed, planned around GCSE years.
- Adults, 18 and over: adult Quran classes, including beginners; sisters learn with women.
Female tutors for daughters and sisters
For a daughter or a sister, a female tutor is the rule at Murouj Academy, not an option: girls and women are taught only by women, and when a female teacher teaches a female student, no non-mahram man can see the student. Our pages on privacy and Islamic etiquette and female Quran teachers explain more.

"We are very much thankful to ustazah mariam to make the beginning of our daughters learning very easy smooth and continued it in an impressive way with excellent progress through each passing session."

Is there an online Quran teacher in Birmingham who is a native Arabic speaker?
Yes. Every teacher is a native Arabic speaker, and all teach in Arabic and English. Some hold an ijazah, and each profile says which.
Is online learning a good alternative to evening madrasa in Birmingham?
It is a different tool. An evening madrasa gives community and routine, while a one-to-one lesson gives one child the full lesson and personal correction. Many Birmingham families may want both, and lessons can be booked around the madrasa timetable.
Are there tajweed classes for sisters online in Birmingham?
Yes. Sisters learn tajweed with female teachers only, one-to-one on video. The teacher listens to your recitation and corrects it as you read.
