Frequently asked questions
Do children and adults take the same beginner class?
No. Children and adults can follow beginner pathways, but lesson length, examples and pacing are matched to the learner. Adult beginners are not taught like children.
Should beginners start with Tajweed?
Only when letter recognition and joining are secure enough. Many learners begin with Qaida or reading, then move into Tajweed for beginners when the foundations hold.
What do I need for the first lesson?
A quiet device, a stable connection, and the mushaf or Qaida your educator specifies. Lessons run in the browser. We do not require extra paid apps.
Can I request a male or female teacher as a beginner?
Yes. Tell us your preference when you register. Matching also considers course, level and available times in your timezone.
