Frequently asked questions
Thanaal teaches children live over the internet, with one-to-one attention, flexible timings, weekly tests and a certificate on completion. Below are the questions parents ask most often.
About the madrasa
What is an online madrasa?
An online madrasa is a madrasa whose classes take place over the internet. Students learn the Quran, Tajweed and Islamic studies in live video classes with a teacher, from home, instead of travelling to a physical centre.
Who is Thanaal for?
Thanaal is built for Gulf expatriate families who want their children to receive a proper religious education from wherever they live. Our classes suit families in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain.
Which countries do you teach in?
Classes are held online, so any family with a stable internet connection can join. Our timings are designed around the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and families in India can join too.
Are the teachers qualified?
Yes. Classes are taught by experienced and qualified teachers.
Classes and learning
What subjects do children learn?
Children can learn Noorani Qaida, Quran recitation with Tajweed (Nazra), Quran Hifz and Islamic studies including hadith, fiqh and seerah.
Are the classes live or recorded?
Classes are live and interactive. The teacher hears the child, corrects mistakes as they happen and answers questions during the class.
Will my child get individual attention?
Yes. One-to-one attention is a core part of our teaching, so each child gets personalised support for better understanding.
Can I choose the class timing?
Yes. Timings are flexible, so you can choose a time that suits your child's school hours and your family's routine. Use the time finder on the home page to compare local times across Gulf countries.
How will I know my child is improving?
Students take weekly tests, and parents receive progress reports, so you can see what has been completed and what needs more practice.
Can my child learn to read the Quran online?
Yes. Most children begin with Noorani Qaida to learn the Arabic letters and basic reading rules, then move to Quran recitation with Tajweed, and later to Hifz if they wish.
