What are Quran classes for reverts?
Quran classes for reverts are live, one-to-one lessons that start from zero: the Arabic letters, then Surat al-Fatihah, short surahs and the words of prayer. At Saba Quran you learn with a female teacher, set your own pace, and see the price before you book.

Where a new Muslim usually starts
Becoming Muslim often comes with a long list of things to learn at once. The Quran does not have to be one more source of stress. We suggest a short, ordered path, and your teacher adjusts it to you. If you already know some letters or can recite Surat al-Fatihah by ear, you simply start further along.
| Step | What you learn | Why it comes here |
|---|---|---|
| 1. The letters | The 28 Arabic letters, their sounds and how they sit together in a word (Noorani Qaida). | Everything else depends on being able to see a letter and know its sound. |
| 2. The vowel marks | Fatha, kasra, damma and sukoon, the small marks that tell you how to say each letter. | They turn single letters into readable syllables and words. |
| 3. Surat al-Fatihah | Reading and reciting the opening chapter, one verse at a time, with its meaning beside it. | It is recited in every unit of the prayer, so it is the first chapter most people need. |
| 4. Short surahs | Short chapters from the end of the Quran, such as al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas. | They are brief enough to learn well and are often recited after al-Fatihah. |
| 5. The words of prayer | The Arabic phrases said in salah and what they mean (included in the 1-hour and 90-minute plans). | Reading and prayer support each other: you recognise the words you are already saying. |
| 6. First Tajweed rules | Where each sound comes from and the first rules of correct recitation (Tajweed). | Good habits are far easier to build early than to repair later. |
We do not give a fixed timeline. People learn at different speeds, and your teacher will show you your own progress after each class.
Learn to read, not only to repeat
Many new Muslims begin with transliteration, which writes Arabic in Latin letters. It is a useful first aid, but it cannot show the length of a vowel or where a sound is formed. Learning the script itself takes a little longer at the start and then opens the whole Quran to you. Turn the book alongside to see what a first reading of Surat al-Fatihah looks like.
Drag to turn · tap to play
An open Quran on a rehal, the folding stand used for reading. Tap the book to be guided through Surat al-Fatihah, one verse at a time.
What a class feels like
Classes are live over video, one teacher with one student. A lesson opens with a look back at what you practised, adds new material in small pieces, and has you read aloud while your teacher corrects each sound as it happens. After each class the teacher updates your progress record. Classes are not recorded, and explanations can be in English or Urdu.
A female teacher, and no pressure
Every class is currently taught by Saba Afzal, who holds an Ijazah in Tajweed and Qira'at and has taught beginners, children and adults online. Some new Muslims feel more at ease learning with a woman, and for that reason a female teacher is the default here rather than a special request. You can read her profile and the safeguarding page before you book anything.
There is no pressure to commit. The first class is a free trial with no payment details needed. We reply within 24 hours to confirm a time in your own time zone, and if you decide to continue, you choose the plan. If you are not sure whether your schedule can handle weekly classes, find a class that fits your week first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know any Arabic before the first class?
No. Most of our new Muslim students cannot read a single Arabic letter at the start, and that is exactly where we begin. The first lessons are the letters, their sounds and the short vowel marks, taught slowly and repeated as often as you need.
I feel embarrassed about starting from zero. Is that normal?
It is very common, and it is the reason classes are 1-on-1: nobody else is listening, there is no group to keep up with and no question is too basic. Your teacher will set the pace with you rather than for you.
Will I be pushed to sign up after the free trial?
No. The trial is there so you can see whether the teacher and the way of learning suit you. We will tell you the options and prices clearly, and you decide in your own time. If you would rather think it over, that is fine.
How much do the classes cost?
Plans start from $4 per class on the 30-minute plan ($76 a month for 20 classes), $9 per class on the 1-hour plan ($180) and $15 per class on the 90-minute plan ($300). Classes run Monday to Friday and payment is by bank transfer. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Can I learn how to pray as well as read the Quran?
Yes, depending on the plan. The 1-hour and 90-minute plans include Salah method and meaning, duas and hadith alongside Quran reading, while the 30-minute plan focuses on Quran reading and daily duas. Tell us what matters most to you and we will suggest the best fit.
Can I ask for a female teacher?
Every class is currently taught by Saba Afzal, a female teacher with an Ijazah in Tajweed and Qira'at, so a female teacher is the default. She teaches in English and Urdu.
