6 Surprising Advantages of Online Quran Classes

Online Quran classes have become very common. As with everything else, Quran learning has become very easy thanks to the technology. Gone are the days when people would travel to far away places to learn the Quran. Most of the times, this disrupted their schedule. Also, it was very difficult to find eligible tutors. Technology has solved all these problems.

Initially, I was reluctant to start learning Quran online like most people. I was not sure how it will work and whether or not I will be able to afford it. But then I decided to give it a try. I enrolled for the free trial classes with an academy and wow. It was such a great experience. I decided to share the surprising advantages of online Quran classes that I found so that you too can start your journey without any apprehensions.

1. Online Quran classes are very effective

Contrary to the popular belief that online learning is not very productive, I found my online Quran classes very effective and fruitful. Within a short span of time, I learned a lot and even became able to read the Quran myself albeit with some errors even though I was a complete beginner. Of course, for something to become effective you have to follow the guidelines and best practices. This applies to online Quran learning too. If you practice and take your classes regularly and with full attention, your progress will be very speedy.

2. Online Quran tutors are very professional

This is another myth I heard from people which proved wrong. They said since you can’t see online tutors, they are not every attentive. Even some said tutors fall asleep during classes. What I discovered was quite the opposite. My teacher was very professional and attentive. He explained every lesson with every possible detail and corrected even minor mistakes. He was always on time and regular. If he was not able to make it for a class due to any reason, he always informed me beforehand.

3. Online Quran classes are very affordable

One of my concerns before starting online Quran learning was regarding the fee. I thought it would be very expensive. What I found was quite surprising, at least for me. With a very meager fee, I was allowed to take class almost every day. Sometimes the tutor gave me more time than the allotted time. I also learned that the academy gave huge discounts to deserving people and even offered free classes to some. Given the qualifications of the tutor and the time they invest, this low fee was surprising for me.

4. Online Quran classes are very convenient

The reason I turned to online classes was the fact that it offers a lot of convenience. For example, you no longer need to leave your home or office to attend classes. You can choose the time that is most suitable for you. Since I travel a lot for my work which makes it almost impossible for me to have one specific time and place, the online learning option was the best option. Now I am able to take my classes from anywhere and at any place. Luckily, my tutor is very accommodating and is available for me whatever time I tell him. Also, I am learning at my own pace depending upon the time I have.

5. You have multiple options

When I enrolled, I discovered that the academy offers many Quran courses for different age groups and level of students. For example, they offer Qaida course for kids and beginner level students. This course includes the basics and is essential for learning Arabic. Similarly, the Quran recitation course is for those who know the basics but want to improve their reading of the Quran. There are other courses too for advanced level students. This means you can opt for any course depending upon your preference or requirement without any hassle. Another flexibility is with regards to the number of weekly or monthly classes. You can opt for any number of classes depending upon your schedule and affordability. This is ultimate freedom.

6. You get a certification

Like traditional courses where you get a certification upon successful completion, online Quran academies issue you a certificate upon successful completion of a Quran course. Although this is not a significant thing as one does not learn to read the Quran for any worldly benefits, you need a certificate in certain situations. For example, in some Muslim countries you get extra marks to get admission in a college or University if you have memorized the Quran from an institute. You also have an edge to get admission in Islamic related degrees if you have studied Islamic fundamentals course that most such academies offer.

These were just some major benefits I discovered during my journey of learning the Quran online. There are lots of other advantages that tag along. So if you are interested to learn the Quran, doing it online is the best option. If you have any question or need help in finding the best online Quran academy, you can contact me.
