Our teaching methodology

Every class is one-on-one over Zoom or Google Meet with a certified teacher who stays with your student. Lessons use a digital Mushaf, screen sharing, audio practice, and a weekly progress report sent to parents. Students are never rushed and never embarrassed — pace and patience are core to our method.

Why families pick Rahber for New Muslims Course

Our New Muslims Course is private, judgment-free and paced entirely around you. Whether you took Shahada last week or last year, you'll be matched with a calm, patient teacher who answers every question — no matter how basic it feels — and never assumes prior Arabic, prior Islamic knowledge or prior community. You choose a male or female teacher, your own class times, and your own pace. The 3-day free trial means you can meet your teacher before any commitment.

What a typical New Muslims Course class looks like

A New Muslims lesson is 30–45 minutes and starts wherever you are. Early lessons cover Shahada, the 5 pillars, Wudu and your first Salah — screen-shared step by step, with the teacher demonstrating each posture and ruling. From month two, lessons split between continuing Salah & Fiqh basics and beginning Arabic letters so you can start reading the Quran directly. Every class ends with a short written summary so nothing important is lost between sessions.

Common challenges — and how we solve them

  • No Arabic, no mosque community, no idea where to start

    Lessons begin with the absolute essentials — Shahada, Wudu, Fajr — and never push you into something you're not ready for.

  • Embarrassed to ask 'basic' questions

    One-on-one means there is no group to perform for. Ask anything, repeat anything, pause anything.

  • Family or partner isn't Muslim

    Lesson times are flexible (early morning, late evening, weekends) and teachers are sensitive to students learning quietly at home.

Tools & materials you'll use

Students get a printable Wudu & Salah step-by-step PDF, audio of the short Surahs they're memorising, a Shahada certificate on request, and a private chat with their teacher for between-lesson questions.
