Our Goal is Simple: Help Young Adults Read the Quran Fluently

Learn how to recite the Quran from the beginning with proper Tajweed and become fluent in reciting Allah's book.

The Siraj Advantage

At Siraj Initiative, we understand the unique challenges young adults face when learning the Quran.
From talking to many young adults it was clear that most beginner programs are geared towards children or involve finding instructors online who may not be as relatable.
Our programs are specifically designed to provide a supportive, flexible, and effective learning environment that caters to your needs and schedule - That means qualified local instructors, teaching in English with experience teaching young adults.

Designed for Young Adults

Our program is tailored specifically for young adults and is offered online to accomodate for different schedules and locations.

Theory and Application

We believe theory is important but where progress really happens is through practice. Our programs ensure you get consistent practice to solidify your recitation and correct mistakes as they happen.

Learn from Qualified Teachers

Study with experienced instructors who are not only qualified in Quran and Tajweed but also skilled in teaching young adults.
