Why we teach this way

Online Quran Lessons was founded by Ibrahim Sattar and has taught online since 2018 — 500+ students in 15 countries so far.

Most of our students are children and adults in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia — families who want a patient teacher, a clear plan and times that fit around school and work.

The academy began with a problem familiar to Muslim families living outside the Muslim world: a good Quran teacher nearby is hard to find, and a weekend class of twenty children rarely produces confident readers. So we pair each student with their own teacher and build every lesson around that student.

Our teachers include both men and women, all assessed on recitation, Tajweed and how they work with learners. Lessons are in clear English, with Arabic for recitation.

How it started

Ibrahim Sattar started the academy in 2018 with a small team of male and female teachers. Many Muslim children outside Pakistan lived far from the nearest masjid, and in a one-to-one online class they could learn comfortably from home.

Our very first student was a six-year-old girl in the USA who found us through Facebook. A relative of hers joined next, and families have kept recommending us to each other ever since. Today we have 20+ teachers, with students joining from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, Italy and beyond.

The moment the team remembers most is when one of our students completed the Quran, and the family sent a gift for their teachers. That is still what we work for: punctual, patient classes, and real time and attention for every student.

How we teach

What happens behind every class

  • Teacher selection

    Every teacher's ID and certificates are checked, and they teach a demo class before they are hired. We also look at how confidently they teach and how clearly they speak English, because most of our students learn in English. Classes are then matched to the times each teacher is available.

  • A structured path

    Noorani Qaida, then Quran reading with Tajweed, then Hifz, Tafseer or Arabic — with goals set for each stage.

  • Supervised classes

    A female supervisor checks every class for teaching quality. Parents can sit in at any time, and our team handles scheduling and teacher changes.

  • Parents kept informed

    Every month parents receive a progress report showing what their child learned and where they improved, and questions go straight to admissions on WhatsApp.
