Online Quran classes for families in Ireland
Saba Quran is a small online academy. Every class is live and 1-on-1 over video, taught by Saba Afzal, a female teacher with an Ijazah in Tajweed and Qira'at. Lessons are in English and Urdu, Monday to Friday, with 20 classes a month on every plan, and learners range from young children to adult beginners. Your first class is a free trial.
Many mosques and community centres run weekend or evening Quran classes, usually for groups. Online 1-on-1 lessons are an option when a venue is far away, when you would like individual correction, or when you prefer to learn privately at home.
Class times for Ireland
Your teacher is based in Pakistan (UTC+5, with no daylight saving time). This is how Pakistan time converts into yours:
| Your time zone | Gap | When it is 5:00 pm in Pakistan | When it is 7:00 pm in Pakistan | When it is 9:00 pm in Pakistan | When it is 11:00 pm in Pakistan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irish time (GMT / IST) | Pakistan is 5 hours ahead Pakistan is 4 hours ahead in daylight saving time | 12:00 pm 1:00 pm in daylight saving time | 2:00 pm 3:00 pm in daylight saving time | 4:00 pm 5:00 pm in daylight saving time | 6:00 pm 7:00 pm in daylight saving time |
Example conversions, not a timetable: which slots are actually free is confirmed when you book your trial.
Ireland moves its clocks forward in late March and back in late October. Pakistan does not change its clocks, so the gap is five hours in winter and four hours in summer. To check any other time, use the class time converter.
Fitting classes into your week
Most Irish schools finish in the afternoon, so after-school lessons usually mean the early evening, which is Pakistan's late evening. Mid-term breaks and the summer holidays are good moments to add extra classes or try a different slot.
In-person madrasa or online 1-on-1?
Each has strengths. This comparison may help you decide.
| In-person madrasa | Online 1-on-1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Teacher attention | Usually a group; the teacher hears each learner briefly. | The whole lesson is on one learner, and mistakes are corrected on the spot. |
| Pace | Set by the group and the term plan. | Set by the learner; hard parts can be repeated. |
| Travel and timing | Travel to a fixed place at fixed times. | From home, with a time agreed within the teacher's hours. |
| Community | Other children, the congregation and the mosque setting. | No peer group; it pairs well with local community life. |
| Parent visibility | Varies by venue. | Parents may sit in, and progress notes appear in the parent dashboard. |
| Cost | Set by each venue. | Published prices from $4 per class (30 minutes). |
| What you need | No equipment. | A device, a stable internet connection and a quiet space. |
Both have a place, and many families use both: the local community for belonging, and 1-on-1 lessons for precise correction of recitation.
