Quick answer

How does a new Muslim start learning the Quran?

Start with Noorani Qaida, which teaches the Arabic alphabet and how letters join into words, with a teacher who explains in English and assumes no prior knowledge. Most reverts can read simple Quranic words within 3 to 4 months. Learning Salah and short Surahs usually runs alongside, since those are needed straight away.

We know what the first-week feels like

Everyone else seems to already know things

Reverts tell us the hardest part is not the Arabic. It is sitting in a masjid class where everyone knows the words, the customs and the shorthand, and being too embarrassed to ask what a word means.

Your class is private. You can ask anything, as many times as you need, and nothing is assumed.

  • English-first teaching. Every Arabic term is defined when first used.
  • Private class. No group, nobody watching you sound out letters.
  • Sisters can request a female teacher at no extra cost.
  • Salah taught alongside, because you need it now, not in a year.
  • Repeat freely. Nobody sighs when you ask again.
Quick answer

What should I learn first as a new Muslim?

Most reverts learn three things in parallel: how to perform Salah correctly, the short Surahs needed for prayer (starting with Al-Fatiha), and the Arabic letters through Noorani Qaida. Reading fluency builds over the following months.

I cannot read any Arabic at all. Is that a problem?

Not at all. That is exactly who these classes are for. We start with the first letter.

Will my teacher explain in English?

Yes. Clear English is a hiring requirement, and reverts are matched with teachers experienced in teaching absolute beginners.

Can I ask questions about Islam, not just the Quran?

Yes, within reason. Our teachers answer practical questions about Salah, Wudu and daily practice, and will refer you to a scholar for anything requiring a formal ruling.

Can I have a female teacher?

Yes, at no extra cost. Many revert sisters prefer it, and our Alimas are used to teaching from the very first letter.

How long until I can read the Quran?

Most reverts read simple Quranic words within 3 to 4 months, and read the Mushaf with growing fluency within a year.

Should I learn Salah or the Quran first?

Both together. Salah is needed immediately, so we teach Al-Fatiha and the short Surahs alongside the Qaida.

Do I need to buy anything?

No. We share everything on screen, though many students like a paper Qaida for practice.

Can I take classes privately without anyone knowing?

Yes. Classes are private one-on-one sessions and we never share student details.

Your first Al-Fatiha in Arabic is closer than you think.
