Two children read the Qur'an together at sunset in a mosque courtyard. Arabic calligraphy above them reads: 'And We have certainly made the Qur'an easy to remember — so is there any who will remember?' — Surah Al-Qamar (54:17).
Muallim — معلم
QuranTEL's Qur'an-learning programme

Learning the Qur'an, one step at a time.

Muallim brings together three programmes that carry a learner from their very first Arabic letter through to reading, reciting and holding the Qur'an in memory — for children and adults alike, always free, and never rushed.

Start with Yusra → See what's included
Step 1 · The path of ease

Yusra

Live now

Forty short, guided lessons take a complete beginner from a single dot through to reading full Qur'anic text — one sound, one letter, one small win at a time. Warm narration, gentle pacing, and a friendly guide who never rushes and never scores.

Step 2 · Reading with tarteel

Tarteel

Coming next

Once the letters and sounds of Yusra feel natural, Tarteel (ترتيل — the Qur'an's own word for slow, clear, measured recitation, Surah Al-Muzzammil 73:4) builds fluent, correctly-paced reading of the Qur'an itself, with rule-based tajweed guidance rather than a graded score.

In development
Step 3 · Holding it in the heart

Hifz

Planned

A structured, well-established memorisation process — for children as young as six or seven through to adult learners — broken into manageable portions with built-in revision, so what's memorised stays memorised.

Planned

Designed for every age, not just one

The same three programmes adapt their presentation by age — what delights a toddler would feel babyish to a young teen, so Muallim doesn't force one design onto everyone.

Ages 3–5
Warm narration, gentle animation, no scores — live in Yusra today
Ages 6–9
Light achievement markers, short games, a slightly more grown-up guide
Ages 10–15
Clean, mature design and real progress tracking — never framed as childish
Adults
The same careful pacing, presented for a grown learner starting fresh

Why Muallim feels different

  • No scores, no leaderboards, no red "wrong" marks — just gentle repetition and warm encouragement until something clicks.
  • A parent or guardian creates the account; a child never has their own login, and only a first name is ever collected for them.
  • Every lesson is grounded in a real, reviewed source and checked by a human before it ever goes live — nothing here is auto-approved.
  • The learning itself is never a religious ruling or a substitute for a qualified teacher — Muallim teaches reading, recitation and memorisation, not fiqh.

Always free. No exceptions.

Muallim — Yusra, Tarteel and Hifz alike — is charitable work. There is no fee, no premium tier, and no plan to ever charge for a single lesson.
