وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًۭا
And say: my Lord, increase me in knowledge.
The five courses
A week of live, small-cohort classes.
One course each weekday at 15:00 GMT (Senegal local). Recordings for sisters who miss a session. Every cohort small enough that the teacher learns each student's voice.
5 courses · Monday → Friday
Why Sakinah
Sakinah means tranquillity, the quiet that settles when the Quran is recited with care.
Our classes are small enough that the teacher learns every student's voice: her strengths, the verses she finds difficult, the days she is tired. We do not promise quick results. We promise care, patience, and the company of women who have walked this path before you.
Tuition supports the teachers' livelihoods and the families studying with them. Sisters who cannot pay full tuition are sponsored by readers like you.
