About
A facilitator of learning Arabic and Quran. We particularly work on organising immersive Arabic language programmes, so you get the opportunity to learn in the ideal language learning environment in the best way possible.Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to help you learn Arabic so you can connect
By ‘connect’, we mean being able to use Arabic practically to fulfil your purpose whether its to communicate effectively with other or to understand the Quran in a way which cannot be achieved without learning Arabic.
Why?
There is a need for learning the Arabic language. Just as English has become an international language which many strive to learn to improve prospects, Arabic is likewise important for anyone seeking to understand Islamic literature and any Muslim who is sincere in wanting to improve their spiritual well-being and gaining a well-rounded understanding of their faith. It is the language of the Ummah, and learning it is invaluable.
How?
Study programmes abroad – Short courses, seasonal and year-long Arabic programmes that are well-structured with immersion opportunities, special cutting-edge supplementary resources, and student-centred learning. We aim to go above and beyond with pastoral care and support throughout your studies. We collaborate with language centres in Egypt to bring about our Arabic programmes which are private or partially privately delivered to our students at the centres.
Current available destinations: Egypt
Possible future destinations: Turkey, Saudi Arabia ❤
Learning Lab – made with the purpose of developing all your language skills, providing essential vocabulary and explaining Arabic grammar in simpler terms. What makes it great is that it is organised according to CEFR levels and skills so you can browse materials according to your level and needs.
CEFR levels are a set of international standards for measuring language proficiency.
The levels:
A1= Beginner/Starter
A2 = Elementary
B1 = Pre-intermediate
B2 = Intermediate
C1 = Upper-intermediate
C2 = Advanced
Classes online – You can continue progressing through your course when you return home though live lessons online.
Although our main focus is to facilitate Arabic learning, please note there are opportunities to learn Quran too.
Who?
Although we are an Islamic organisation, our programmes are open to anyone who wants to pursue learning Arabic. We hold male-only and female-only programmes, and also cater to private groups.
WHAT WE OFFER
Immersion
Studying abroad does not give you an immersive experience by default. Interacting with locals is not as easy as it sounds, especially when they don’t speak the exact same language you’re learning. Having the opportunity to meet natives who are willing to speak in a way you understand or aim to speak is not always easy. We aim to help you overcome this by providing opportunities to get involved.
Study materials
We offer learning materials which supplement the programmes you take with us. These are in the form of notes and flashcards which will help you quickly understand grammar concepts and learn key vocabulary in an interactive and fun way.
A chance to explore
We believe in balance and taking advantage of opportunities when travelling. Visiting countries abroad not only means immersion, but also means exploring and appreciating landscapes, history and culture. Trips and excursions are organised for students so they’re able to explore without having to worrying about organising and fitting this in during their studies.
Pastoral support & care
However and wherever you choose to learn Arabic, we’re here to help you on your journey to give you free consultation and advice. All our programmes have English-speaking supervisors to support you during your stay at your chosen destination.
Continuous learning
Your journey shouldn’t stop once you finish your course abroad. Stay connected with teachers online.

The Quran department is overseen by Sheikhs and Sheikhahs specializing in the Islamic Sciences and with Ijaazah in the Ten Major and Minor Recitations, who have dedicated much of their life to serve the book of Allah. They have studied under scholars and their students who follow the methodology of the Salaf as-Salih.
Teachers
We take pride in our team of high-caliber and qualified teachers. Each Arabic instructor is a native or proficient speaker of Arabic, with a deep understanding of the language’s grammar, vocabulary, and cultural nuances. They are trained and experienced in teaching non-native Arabic speakers. We are highly selective with our Qur’an teachers who are specialized in their field, and have been trained by very reputable Quran institutions and teachers. Qualifications range from Ijaazah in the modes of Recitations, Mutoon, Qa’idah An-Nooraniyyah (including from the Sheikh who authored it) and books of Tajweed. Beginners are assigned teachers who are able to speak English for both Arabic and Quran.
