Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to learn Tajweed/Arabic?
Tajweed can take 6–12 months to learn with practice, while Arabic (to understand Qur’an well) usually takes 2–3 years with consistent study.
What is the duration of each class?
Usually, Tajweed/Arabic classes last about 30–60 minutes each.
Beginners: 30 minutes (to stay focused).
Intermediate/advanced: 45–60 minutes for practice and explanation.
Would you like me to suggest an ideal weekly schedule for learning both together?
Can we choose session timings at my own convenience?
Yes, in most online or private Tajweed/Arabic programs, you can choose session timings based on your convenience — especially if:
✅ You’re learning 1-on-1 with a tutor.
✅ You’re joining an online institute that offers flexible slots.
✅ You inform the teacher about your availability in advance.
However, in group classes or fixed courses, timings are usually pre-set.
👉 So yes — with private or online classes, you can usually pick the timing that suits your schedule.
Can we meet our teacher outside the classroom when needed?
That depends on the type of program and teacher:
Online/International teachers – usually, no in-person meetings, but you can contact them via WhatsApp, Zoom, or email outside class.
Local/Private teachers – if both agree, you may meet outside class for extra help, but it’s based on the teacher’s policy.
Institutes/Madaris – usually, extra sessions must be scheduled formally.
👉 In short: yes, you can reach your teacher outside class for guidance, but whether it’s in-person or only online depends on the arrangement.
I have never taken an online course before; will I be able to cope with this?
Yes, absolutely 👍 Many beginners start their first online learning with Tajweed/Arabic.
Here’s why you’ll be able to cope easily:
📱 Simple tools: Most teachers use Zoom/Google Meet/WhatsApp, which are easy to use.
👨🏫 One-on-one guidance: The teacher will guide you step by step, just like in a physical class.
⏱ Flexible pace: You can learn slowly at first until you feel comfortable.
📂 Recorded lessons/materials: Many courses give notes or recordings so you can revise anytime.
👉 Even if you’ve never studied online, with a little practice you’ll find it very manageable.
Would you like me to give you a quick checklist of things you need (internet, mic, Qur’an, etc.) to start smoothly?
Do we have any course materials?
Yes, there are many Tajweed and Arabic course materials — like Noorani Qaida, Madina Arabic Books, and online courses (Bayyinah, Quranic, Understand Quran Academy). Do you want me to suggest free PDFs and online resources?
Do I need to know how to use a computer?
No, you don’t need to know how to use a computer to learn Tajweed/Arabic — but if you want to learn online, then basic computer or smartphone use will be helpful. ✅
How can I start learning on MakkahQuran?
You can start learning on Makkah Quran very easily:
Visit their website → makkahquran.com
Choose your course (Tajweed, Qur’an memorization, Arabic, etc.).
Register/sign up with your name, email, and WhatsApp/phone.
Book a free trial class (they usually offer it).
Start your lessons online with a live teacher via Zoom/Skype.
👉 All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet.
Do you want me to also write a short guide for beginners (step-by-step what to do on the first day)?
Before hiring, can I review some tutors to find one that is suitable for my child?
Yes ✅ On Makkah Quran, you can usually review tutor profiles (their education, experience, teaching style) before hiring.
They also offer a free trial class, so your child can meet the tutor first and see if they feel comfortable before you commit.
Would you like me to explain what things to check in a tutor’s profile to choose the best one for your child?
Do you have female tutors as well as male tutors on MakkahQuran?
Yes — MakkahQuran does offer female tutors as well as male tutors, and you can easily choose according to your preference.
According to their FAQs, “[they] have over 100 male and female teachers globally. You can specify your preference for a male or female teacher during the demo class.” Makkah Quran
So, when you're arranging a demo for your child, just let them know you'd like a female tutor (or male, if you prefer) and they’ll match accordingly.
Would you like tips on how to evaluate a tutor’s profile or what to look for during the demo to ensure the best match for your child?
Do I need a physical copy of The Quran when I learn through MakkahQuran?
No, you don’t need a physical copy of the Qur’an when learning through MakkahQuran — tutors usually provide a digital Mushaf (Qur’an PDF/app) on screen during class. 📖💻
👉 But having a physical Mushaf is highly recommended, especially for children, because it helps them:
Focus without screen distractions
Build a personal habit of Qur’an reading
Practice outside of class more easily
So, digital is enough to start, but a physical Qur’an is very beneficial. ✅
Would you like me to suggest the best Mushaf version for beginners/children?
How can parents check what the tutor is teaching?
On MakkahQuran, parents can check what the tutor is teaching in a few simple ways:
Sit in during live class – Parents can quietly observe the session on Zoom/Skype.
Ask the tutor for progress reports – Tutors usually share updates on what lessons were covered and how the child is improving.
Review class recordings (if available) – Some classes can be recorded so parents can watch later.
Check the child’s practice notebook/Mushaf – Tutors often assign homework or mark progress directly.
👉 In short, parents can monitor live, request feedback, and track homework to stay fully aware of what’s being taught.
