Maktab QuranLearning the Quran in Nanded
Nanded, on the Godavari, is Marathwada's second-largest city, and its district borders both Telangana and Karnataka. About 4.7 lakh Muslims lived here at the 2011 Census, one resident in seven. Many live in Nanded city itself; others are in the taluka towns of Deglur, Mukhed, Kandhar, Loha, Hadgaon, Bhokar, Kinwat, Biloli and Dharmabad.
The district has sixteen talukas and a lot of distance between them. In the south, towns such as Deglur, Biloli and Dharmabad lie close to the state border, where Telugu and Kannada mix with Marathi and Dakhni Urdu. In the north-east, Kinwat and Mahur are forested hill country. A structured, level-by-level Quran course is easy to find in Nanded city and much harder in the rest of the district.
Online lessons make that difference disappear: the same qualified teachers, five days a week, from anywhere in the district — at a time that fits the family rather than the bus timetable.
Which talukas of Nanded do you cover?
All of them. Lessons are online, so a family in any of Nanded district's 16 talukas — Nanded, Ardhapur, Mudkhed, Bhokar, Umri, Loha, Kandhar, Kinwat, Himayatnagar, Hadgaon, Mahur, Deglur, Mukhed, Dharmabad, Biloli and Naigaon — gets the same teachers, the same courses and the same class times, in town or village.

What happens after we contact you from Nanded?
We reply within 24 hours and fix a free trial lesson at a time that suits you. At the trial the teacher listens to the student read, so the level is set correctly from the first class. If you have a preference — a woman teacher for your daughter, a teacher who speaks Urdu — tell us, and our office matches the teacher. Regular lessons then run five days a week, thirty minutes each, and the same teacher stays with the student.
Urdu, Hindi or English — and what about Marathi?
Every teacher lists the languages they teach in, and for most families in Nanded Urdu or Hindi is the natural fit. English works well for children in English-medium schools. We have no Marathi-speaking teachers at present; a Marathi-medium child usually follows a Hindi-speaking teacher easily, and the teacher adapts their pace. Tell us the student's comfort language and our office matches the teacher to it.
Courses from first letters to Hifz
A child who has never read Arabic begins with the Noorani Qaida. A child who reads but makes mistakes moves into Tajweed classes. A child ready to memorise starts the Hifz course, with a new portion each day and regular revision. Adults in Nanded can take any of these, or Tafsir and Quranic Arabic. The teacher sets the level at the free trial.
Women teachers for women students
A female student in Nanded 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.
What does it cost a family in Nanded?
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.
Do we still need the masjid class?
That is your choice, and many Nanded families keep both. The masjid maktab gives a child friends, community and the feel of learning together. The online class gives steady, individual correction at a time that suits the family. If you are looking for a class near you first, our guide to finding a maktab near you explains where to ask.
