Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have questions about our programs, enrollment process, and learning model. Here are answers to the most common inquiries we receive from families.

Are classes fully online?

Most of our programs are delivered online, which allows us to serve families across Australia. However, we are gradually launching face-to-face classes in selected cities throughout South Australia. Both delivery methods follow the same structured curriculum and quality standards.

Do you offer in-person classes?

Yes. We are rolling out face-to-face classes in selected areas. In-person options are being added gradually to ensure we maintain small class sizes and quality instruction. Register your interest to be notified when classes open near you.

What ages are accepted for maktab?

Our maktab program typically serves children from ages 5 to 14, with classes grouped by age and ability level. We assess each child's current knowledge and place them in the appropriate learning group to ensure they're challenged but not overwhelmed.

Is prior Qur'an reading required?

No prior knowledge is required for our maktab program—we welcome absolute beginners. For hifz students, basic Qur'an reading ability is helpful but we can assess and place students appropriately. Adult learners are welcome regardless of background.

How do enrollments work?

Enrollment begins with an inquiry form where you tell us about your learning goals and preferences. We'll guide you to the right program, discuss scheduling options, and complete registration. Most programs have rolling enrollment, though some may have specific start dates.

Can adults with no background join?

Absolutely. Our adult programs are designed to welcome learners at all levels, including those with little to no prior Islamic education. We create supportive environments where questions are encouraged and learning happens at a comfortable pace.
