Rooted in Ahlul Bayt,
Built for the West

QuranoshiaAcademy was born from a simple but urgent question: why should Shia Muslim families in Europe and the West struggle to find qualified, authentic Islamic education? We exist to answer that question — for every family, in every timezone.

How QuranoshiaAcademy Began

A mission born from necessity — and sustained by faith, dedication, and the love of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).

اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ
"Read! In the name of your Lord who created" — Surah Al-Alaq 96:1
The first word revealed to the Holy Prophet ﷺ
"The best of you are those who learn the Quran and then teach it."

Our Story

A Need We Couldn't Ignore

QuranoshiaAcademy was founded in 2019 by a group of Shia Muslim scholars and educators who had witnessed firsthand the growing crisis facing Muslim families in the West: their children were growing up disconnected from the Quran, the Arabic language, and the beautiful teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Weekend Islamic schools were inconsistent. Local mosques were overstretched. Private tutors were hard to find and even harder to vet. And the available online options were rarely grounded in authentic Shia scholarship. Families in the UK, Germany, Sweden, the USA, Canada, and Australia were telling us the same thing: "We want to raise a Hafiz. We want our children to pray with understanding. We want them to know who Imam Hussain (AS) was — but we don't know where to start."

So we built QuranoshiaAcademy — not as a business, but as a service to the Ummah. A place where every Shia Muslim child or adult, regardless of where they live, can access world-class Quranic and Islamic education, taught by scholars who carry authentic chains of transmission and teach with genuine love for the Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Our Mission, Vision & Who We Serve

🕌
Our Mission
Authentic Shia Education, Anywhere in the World

To make high-quality, authentic Shia Islamic education accessible to every Muslim family in the West — through live online classes, certified scholars, and programmes that honour the Quran, the Prophet ﷺ, and the Ahlul Bayt (AS). We serve the Ummah, not a market.

🌟
Our Vision
A Generation of Confident Muslim Scholars

We envision a generation of Western-born Shia Muslim youth who are firmly rooted in their faith, fluent in the Quran, proud of their Ahlul Bayt identity, and equipped to navigate — and contribute to — the world they live in. Knowledge is the most powerful inheritance a family can give.

👨‍👩‍👧
Who We Serve
Every Shia Muslim Family in the West

We serve children, teens, adults, and entire families — from the child taking their first steps with the Qaida, to the adult seeking a full Ijazah. Our students live in the UK, Germany, Sweden, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, France, and beyond.

What We Stand For

Our values are not corporate statements — they are reflections of the Ahlul Bayt (AS) and the standards set by the Holy Prophet ﷺ.

🕌
Rooted in Ahlul Bayt (AS)

Every course, every teacher, and every teaching decision is grounded in the authentic tradition of the Ahlul Bayt (AS). Our curriculum reflects the Shia Ithna Ashari school of thought and is aligned with the guidance of the Marja'. We do not compromise on this — it is our foundation.

🎓
Academic Excellence

We believe Islamic education deserves the same rigour and care as any academic discipline. Our teachers hold formal qualifications from Hawza institutions in Najaf, Qom, and elsewhere. We set high standards, track progress carefully, and celebrate the achievement of every student who excels.

🌍
Supporting Western Muslim Identity

We understand that growing up Shia Muslim in Europe, America, or Australia comes with unique challenges. Our courses address Islamic identity directly — particularly for teens — helping students feel proud, informed, and confident in their faith while living and contributing to Western society.

🤝
Sincerity (Ikhlas)

We founded this academy not for profit, but out of love for Allah, the Holy Prophet ﷺ, and his Ahlul Bayt (AS). Every teacher joins us because they genuinely want to serve. We keep prices fair, offer free trials, and put student success above all commercial considerations.

👨‍👩‍👧
Family-Centred Learning

Islam is a family religion, and Islamic education works best when it is a family journey. We design our programmes to involve parents, offer family plans, provide progress updates, and ensure that learning at QuranoshiaAcademy brings families closer together — and closer to Allah.

📜
Authentic Credentials

We take the Ijazah tradition seriously. A chain of transmission (Sanad) back to the Holy Prophet ﷺ is one of the most precious gifts in Islamic education. We safeguard this tradition rigorously — every teacher who issues an Ijazah has themselves received one from verified scholars.

Our Foundation

Why Authentic Shia Scholarship Matters

There is no shortage of Quran teachers online — but there is a shortage of teachers who carry authentic Shia scholarship, who understand the Ahlul Bayt (AS) tradition, and who can transmit that knowledge to your children in a way that deepens, rather than confuses, their Shia identity.

At QuranoshiaAcademy, we draw on the living scholarly tradition of Shia Islam — from Tafseer grounded in Ahlul Bayt commentary, to Fiqh derived from the Marja', to Duas and Ziyarat transmitted with the reverence they deserve.

What Our Families Say

JazakAllah Khair to every student and parent who trusted us with their Quranic journey.

"

My daughter started with Quran Nazra at age 6 and is now in her second year of Hifz at age 9. Sheikh Ahmad is extraordinary — patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about his students. The fortnightly reports keep us involved every step of the way.

👩
Um Hussain — London, UK
Mother of Hifz student · 3 years enrolled
"

As a convert to Shia Islam living in Sweden, I struggled to find a teacher who truly understood our tradition. Ustadha Fatima changed everything for me. Her Tafseer classes are the highlight of my week — I finally understand the Quran I recite in my prayers.

👨
Ibrahim K. — Stockholm, Sweden
Adult Tafseer student · 18 months enrolled
"

We enrolled three of our children on the Family Plan — ages 7, 11, and 15. Each one has a different teacher and course. Sheikh Raza's impact on our teenager has been remarkable — he's become confident and proud of his Shia identity. Worth every penny and more.

👨
Brother Ali — Toronto, Canada

"

Living in Australia, I never expected to find classes that fit our timezone. QuranoshiaAcademy schedules around us perfectly. My son loves Ustadha Zainab's classes and recites Dua Kumayl every Thursday without being asked. That alone is worth everything.

👩
Sister Maryam — Melbourne, Australia

"

I completed my Ijazah after 14 months of the Scholar Track. Holding a formal Sanad — a chain that connects me through verified scholars back to the Holy Prophet ﷺ — is something I never thought possible living in Germany. Alhamdulillah for this academy.

We tried three other online academies before finding QuranoshiaAcademy. The difference is night and day — the teachers here genuinely care, the curriculum is authentically Shia, and my children actually look forward to their classes. The free trial convinced us immediately.
