Maktab QuranLearning the Quran in Beed
Beed is one of Marathwada's oldest towns — Malik Ahmad, founder of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, served as its governor in the fifteenth century — and it has an old, established Muslim community. About 3.2 lakh Muslims lived in the district at the 2011 Census, around one resident in eight, in Beed city and in towns such as Ambajogai, Parli, Majalgaon, Georai, Kaij and Ashti.
Beed is also a district where many families move with the seasons, most visibly for the sugarcane harvest. A child who leaves home for months each year can lose a local class entirely and have to start again on return.
Online lessons travel with the family. As long as there is a phone and mobile data, the same teacher continues the same lesson from wherever the family is, and a child's progress in the Noorani Qaida or Hifz is not lost to the calendar.
Which talukas of Beed do you cover?
All of them. Lessons are online, so a family in any of Beed district's 11 talukas — Beed, Georai, Patoda, Shirur-Kasar, Ashti, Majalgaon, Wadwani, Kaij, Dharur, Parli and Ambajogai — gets the same teachers, the same courses and the same class times, in town or village.

How do online classes work for Beed families?
The teacher and student meet on a synchronized Quran screen: both see the same page, and the word being recited is highlighted on both screens, so the teacher hears and corrects every letter. Lessons are thirty minutes, five days a week, at a time agreed with you. You contact us, the student takes a free trial, and our office assigns the teacher — you tell us any preference and we match it.
What language are the classes taught in?
The Quran is read in Arabic, and the explanation is given in the student's language — Urdu, Hindi or English. For most families in Beed, an Urdu- or Hindi-speaking teacher is the natural fit. None of our teachers teaches in Marathi at the moment, but children from Marathi-medium schools rarely have trouble following a Hindi-speaking teacher. Tell us what the student understands best.
From the Qaida to memorising the Quran
The path is the traditional maktab path, taught one student at a time: the Noorani Qaida, then reading the Quran with Tajweed, then — for those who want it — Hifz, with a daily sabaq, the recent portion revised as sabqi and older portions as manzil. Tafsir and Quranic Arabic are there for students who want to understand what they recite.
Women teachers for women students
A female student in Beed can always ask for a female teacher, and most of our teachers are women. Lessons are private and at home, on a synchronized Quran screen, so there is no travel and no mixed class. Mothers often start alongside their children. See Quran classes for women.
₹1,000 or ₹5,000 a month
The circle is ₹1,000 a month: five 30-minute classes a week, up to ten students, fixed timings. One-to-one is ₹5,000 a month: the same five classes, just your child and the teacher, at times that can move. Everything else — the synchronized Quran screen, Tajweed colours, the parent dashboard — is the same. Full details on pricing; the first lesson is a free trial.
Is online as good as a class in person?
For recitation and Tajweed, a one-to-one online lesson is usually more thorough than a crowded class, because the teacher hears the student for the whole lesson and corrects each mistake straight away. What it cannot give is the community of a local maktab. In Beed, where many families live far from a structured class, online is often the only daily option. Read what a maktab is.
