Online Quran Classes for South African Muslim Families
Online Quran classes in South Africa let your child learn at home with a qualified teacher, one to one on Zoom, instead of in a crowded class. We teach Muslim families from Cape Town to Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria, starting with Noorani Qaida and moving on to Quran reading with Tajweed, Hifz and Islamic studies, which is free with every Quran course.
Islam has deep roots here. The Auwal Mosque in Bo-Kaap, built in 1794, is the oldest in the country, and afternoon madressah after school is still part of the week for many children. Online lessons do not replace that tradition. They add what a group class rarely has time for: a teacher listening to your child alone and correcting every letter.
Lessons in English, Urdu or Arabic
Most South African Muslim children think and study in English, so English is the language most families choose. Families of Indian or Pakistani heritage who speak Urdu at home can ask for lessons in Urdu, and Arabic is available for advanced students.
Whatever the language, the tutor teaches the Arabic sounds of the Quran directly, from the correct makhraj of each letter to the rules of Tajweed.
Class times
Lesson Times in South African Time
South Africa keeps South African Standard Time (UTC+2) all year. Pakistan, where our academy is based, is always 3 hours ahead, and because neither country uses daylight saving, your lesson time stays the same in every season.
3:00 pm in Johannesburg
= 6:00 pm in Lahore
5:00 pm in Durban
= 8:00 pm in Lahore
6:00 pm in Cape Town
= 9:00 pm in Lahore
10:00 am in Pretoria
= 1:00 pm in Lahore
Share the weekdays and times that work around school, sport and madressah, and we will match you with a teacher who is free then. Classes run Monday to Friday.

Female Quran Teachers in South Africa
For daughters, sisters and mothers who would rather learn with a woman, a female teacher can take every lesson privately on Zoom, so no one has to travel to a mixed class or wait for a home tutor.
Just ask when you book, or read about our female Quran teachers.
Follow Your Child's Progress
Parents can stay on the Zoom call, sit beside a younger child or check in from another room. The teacher is happy to tell you which lesson your child is on and what to practise during the week.
If the teacher is not the right fit, we will change them for you. You can also meet our online Quran tutors.
