Online Quran classes in the UAE offer families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain a convenient alternative to a home tutor. Al-Suffa Islamic Academy teaches children, adults and sisters one-on-one in Gulf Standard Time, with fees in dirhams and teachers who explain in English, Urdu or Arabic.
Why families in the UAE choose online classes
The UAE has no shortage of mosques or Quran centres, and many schools teach Quran as part of the curriculum. Yet expatriate families in particular often find it hard to arrange consistent, individual teaching. Home tutors are expensive and their timings can be unreliable. Quran centres mean another drive through evening traffic. School lessons are taught to a full class and cannot give each child individual correction.
A one-on-one online class offers the personal attention of a home tutor at a fraction of the cost, without anyone needing to visit your home. Parents can supervise easily, and working mothers and fathers do not need to arrange transport.
Timings that suit life in the Emirates
Schools in the UAE finish in the early afternoon, with a shorter day on Friday, so lessons from 3pm onwards work well. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday, and many families book weekend mornings or Friday afternoon after Jumu'ah. Early morning classes after Fajr are a favourite with Hifz students. There is no daylight saving in the UAE, so your class time never changes.
Supporting your child's school Quran and Islamic studies
Students in UAE schools are assessed in Quran recitation and memorisation as part of Islamic education. Our teachers can follow your child's school syllabus, prepare them for recitation assessments and strengthen the Tajweed that classroom teaching may not have time for, while continuing their own programme of reading or Hifz.
Courses for students in the UAE
Choose from Noorani Qaida, Quran reading, Tajweed, the Hifz program, Tafseer, Arabic and Islamic studies. Non-Arabic-speaking families often add Arabic to help their children with the school curriculum.
Female teachers for sisters and girls
Qualified female teachers are available for sisters and girls, with daytime, evening and weekend timings.
Ramadan and summer travel
During Ramadan, school hours are shortened and family routines shift. We rearrange lesson times to suit, and many students add extra revision. If you travel during the summer, lessons continue wherever you are.
