Islamic education for the next generation
Islamic education for the next generation
In the United States, there are a few choices for providing Islamic Education for our children, and with online education going mainstream, we believe we can provide the highest quality Islamic education using a hybrid online/in-person model. Our hope is to scale our services throughout the country to reach as many youth as we can as a supplement to public education or homeschooling.
We also provide Convert Onboarding. If somebody in your community has just accepted Islam, the community can sponsor a course with us as a welcome gift.
By providing the core curriculum through online video-conference based learning, paired with in-person meetups, we hope to deliver the best of both worlds.
We aim to keep a low teacher/student ratio, at approximately 3 students per class. This allows the shaykh to give ample time to each student for questions and answers.
All our shuyookh have grown up in the United States, and understand the challenges of living as a minority Muslim.

Enrollment is limited given our small class-sizes, and demand is high. Your email address will not be shared to 3rd parties. We are taking applications across the US.
The Hybrid Online / In-Person Format
Parents will choose either Monday / Wednesday at 5pm or Tuesday / Thursday at 5pm. Classes will last for 45-60 minutes, and there will be some homework. The first half of the class will be recitation of the Quran. Whether the student is new to reciting the Quran, or has completed the recitation of the Quran multiple times with tajweed, our shuyookh can always bring improvement. This will go on every week, year round.
We aim to keep a low teacher/student ratio, at ~3 students per class. This allows the shaykh to give ample time to each student for questions and answers.
Additionally, there will be in-person meetups with the shaykh every month. This is where being local is a huge asset -- the shuyookh have all grown up in the US, and understand the challenges of living as a minority Muslim. The long-term in-person connection between the shaykh and the student is priceless, and we hope that it carries on into adulthood. During the in-person meetups, there will be talks for students and their families, and one-on-one sessions with the shaykh and the student.
By providing the core curriculum through online video-conference based learning, and also having in-person meetups, we hope to deliver the best of both worlds, as efficiently as possible.
