Online Quran classes for Somali families in the UK

Many Somali families in the UK put a lot of value on children memorising the Quran. Our one-to-one online classes help children keep up Quran reading and Hifz alongside UK school, from home.

Hifz alongside school

Children can do daily Hifz lessons after school with a Hafiz or Hafiza, with a clear plan for new lines and revision.

Keep up what they learned at dugsi

If your child already learned at a local dugsi or madrasa, the teacher starts from their current level instead of from the beginning.

Female teachers for daughters

You can ask for a female teacher, and a parent can stay nearby during every lesson.

Common questions

Do your teachers speak our home language?

Our teachers teach in English, Urdu or Arabic. We don't currently offer lessons in Somali, Hausa, Yoruba, Tigrinya or Amazigh. Most UK-raised children learn happily in English.

My child learned by memorising before reading. Can you help?

Yes. The teacher checks what your child has memorised, corrects pronunciation, and can teach reading from the mushaf alongside Hifz.

Do you teach a particular recitation style?

Lessons follow the Hafs 'an 'Asim recitation used in most UK mushafs. Ask on WhatsApp if your family follows another.
