Online Quran Classes in Aurangabad District

Learning the Quran in Aurangabad

Aurangabad district — officially Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar — has the highest Muslim share of any district in Maharashtra outside Mumbai: about 7.9 lakh people at the 2011 Census, more than one resident in five. Its Islamic heritage is written across the landscape. Khuldabad, the 'Valley of Saints', holds the dargahs of Zar Zari Zar Baksh and Shaikh Burhan-ud-din Gharib Chishti and the simple grave of the emperor Aurangzeb; the city itself has the Bibi Ka Maqbara and the old walled quarters of the Nizam era.

Like all of Marathwada, the district was part of the Nizam's Hyderabad State until 1948, and Dakhni Urdu is still the home language of many families. Madrasas and maktabs are not scarce here. What is scarce is individual attention: a crowded class of forty children rarely gives a child more than a few minutes of personal recitation.

An online one-to-one lesson gives your child the whole thirty minutes, every day. For families in the rural talukas — Soegaon, Kannad, Vaijapur, Gangapur, Paithan, Sillod — it also removes the daily journey into a bigger town.

Which talukas of Aurangabad do you cover?

All of them. Lessons are online, so a family in any of Aurangabad district's 9 talukas — Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), Kannad, Soegaon, Sillod, Phulambri, Khuldabad, Vaijapur, Gangapur and Paithan — gets the same teachers, the same courses and the same class times, in town or village.

Can the lessons be in Urdu?

Yes. Urdu is one of the most common teaching languages among our teachers, alongside Hindi, English and Arabic. For families in Aurangabad who speak Urdu or Dakhni at home, an Urdu-speaking teacher is usually the natural choice; ask for one and we match you. We are honest about one gap: we do not yet have teachers who teach in Marathi.

What can a student in Aurangabad learn?

Beginners start with the Noorani Qaida — letters, sounds and joins — and move on to reading the Quran directly. From there: Tajweed for correct pronunciation, a structured Hifz course built on the sabaq, sabqi and manzil cycle, Tafsir for understanding, and Quranic Arabic. See every course on the courses page.

Classes for mothers and sisters

Many of the adults who learn with us are women — mothers who want to correct their own recitation before teaching their children, and sisters who never had the chance to learn Tajweed properly. Female teachers are available for every course. For women in Aurangabad, a thirty-minute lesson at home fits around the day. See our female teachers.

What does it cost a family in Aurangabad?

Most families start in the maktab circle at ₹1,000 a month — five live classes a week, never more than ten students. Families who want the whole lesson for one child choose one-to-one at ₹5,000 a month. There is no admission fee and you can stop any month. The first lesson is free. Compare them on one-to-one vs group classes.

Online classes or the local maktab?

If there is a good maktab near you in Aurangabad, keep it — the community of a masjid class cannot be replaced. What an online lesson adds is personal time: in a local class of thirty children a child may recite for two minutes; online, a one-to-one student recites for thirty. Many families use both. Where there is no maktab nearby, or the timing does not work, an online maktab keeps the daily routine going.
