In short: Arabic for new Muslims starts with the alphabet, the sounds of the Quran and the words used in prayer and daily Islamic life. A private teacher explains each step in English, so you can read the Quran, understand your Salah and keep growing at your pace without feeling behind.
A gentle start with no assumed knowledge
Many reverts feel pressure to learn quickly. Our teachers go step by step, in English where you need it, and focus on what you will use first.
- The Arabic alphabet and Quran reading
- Words and phrases used in Salah and dua
- Basic Tajweed, once reading is steady
- Daily Islamic vocabulary
Islamic studies in a clear order
When you are ready, our Islamic Studies course covers topics such as Seerah and Fiqh in a structured way.
Start with what you need first
Most new Muslims want to read the words of prayer and the opening chapter of the Quran. We start there. Your teacher teaches the letters and sounds and the short phrases you use most, then adds more at a pace you choose.
- The Arabic letters and sounds
- The words of prayer and common phrases
- Reading Al-Fatihah and short surahs
- Everyday Islamic vocabulary
There is no pressure
You do not need to catch up with anyone. Some students progress quickly and some need more time, and both are fine. The teacher never makes you feel behind.
Questions are welcome
Your teacher can explain the basics, the meaning of what you recite and the Arabic terms you hear. For detailed rulings, they will point you to a qualified scholar or your local community.
Learning at your own pace
New Muslims often juggle many new things at once. Arabic does not have to add stress. Choose a gentle schedule, such as one lesson a week, and increase it when you feel ready.
Your teacher can also suggest short daily practice, such as five minutes reading the letters or repeating the words of prayer.
