Courses available in France

The full syllabus is open to every student, whichever course you start with. Each one is taught one-to-one and paced to the individual child or adult.

Noorani Qaida

Beginner · 3–6 months

The foundation course. Students learn the Arabic alphabet, letter shapes, joining, vowels and basic pronunciation rules before opening the Mushaf.

Quran Reading (Nazra)

Beginner · 6–12 months

Read the Quran fluently from the Mushaf with correct articulation, guided page by page by your own teacher at your own pace.

Tajweed Mastery

Intermediate · 6–9 months

Learn the rules that beautify recitation — noon sakinah, meem sakinah, madd, qalqalah, ghunnah — with live correction on every verse.

Hifz — Quran Memorisation

All levels · Flexible — 2 to 4 years

A structured memorisation plan with daily sabaq, sabqi and manzil revision, plus monthly tests so nothing that is memorised is ever lost.

Translation and Tafseer

Intermediate · 9–12 months

Understand what you recite. Word-by-word translation plus classical tafseer covering the meanings, context and lessons of each surah.

Islamic Studies

All levels · Ongoing

Core deen knowledge: aqeedah, the pillars of Islam, seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, hadith, everyday fiqh and Islamic manners.

Salah and Daily Duas

Beginner · 2–3 months

A short, practical course covering wudu, the full prayer step by step, and the masnoon duas for every part of the day.

Arabic Language

All levels · 6–12 months

Classical and conversational Arabic — nahw, sarf and vocabulary — taught so you can read the Quran and hadith in the original.

Ijazah and Qirat

Questions from French families

  • Are Wednesday afternoon classes available?

    Yes, and they are our most popular slot for French children, since most primary schools are closed on Wednesday afternoons. Book early — those slots fill first each term.

  • Do you teach Arabic as a language as well as Quran?

    Yes. Alongside Quran recitation we teach classical and conversational Arabic — grammar, morphology and vocabulary — which many French families take together with Quran classes.

  • Can adults take classes after work?

    Yes. Adult students in France usually take 7pm to 9:30pm slots, and classes are private, so beginning as an adult is completely normal here.
