Why Study
Why Do Families in the West Choose Online Islamic Studies?
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said that seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim (Sunan Ibn Majah 224). For families far from a strong local masjid, that knowledge often has to come home.
Children meet questions about their faith at school, new Muslims need clear foundations quickly, and many parents want to fill gaps in their own learning. Online Islamic studies let each of them learn from a teacher at the right level.
Who It Is For

How Lessons Work
How Do Online Islamic Classes Work?
Each lesson is live and one-to-one. Your teacher explains a topic with its source in the Quran or hadith, checks your understanding with questions, and sets one practical step for the week.
Practical topics such as wudu and Salah are done on camera, so your teacher can correct each step. Questions are welcome in every class, and difficult ones get a sourced answer.
Comparison
A Practical Islam Basics Course or an Academic Islamic Studies Degree?
Universities offer Islamic studies degrees that study Islam as an academic subject, often including history, texts and research methods.
| Question | Islam Basics Course | Academic Degree |
|---|---|---|
| Main aim | Practise Islam correctly every day | Study Islam as a field of knowledge |
| Who it suits | Children, families, new Muslims | Students seeking a qualification |
| Format | One-to-one live lessons | Lectures, reading and exams |
| Length | Ongoing, at your pace | Usually several years |
| Offered by LQO | Yes | No |
If you want a recognised qualification, an accredited university is the right route. For living Islam day to day, a practical course is the place to start.
Questions
What Else Do Students Ask About Studying Islam Online?
Still have a question? Our team answers on WhatsApp and will help you pick the right course and time.
Can I get an Islamic studies degree online with LQO?
No. We teach practical Islam basics, not degree programmes. For a degree, look at accredited universities that offer Islamic studies online, and use our classes alongside it for practice.
Where can I study Islam online for free?
Mosques, Islamic centres and several charities offer free islamic courses and lectures online. Our one-to-one lessons are paid after a free first week, which lets you compare before deciding.
Can I study Islamic studies and Quran together?
Yes. Many students take Quran reading or Hifz on some days and Islamic studies on others. Tell us both goals when you book, and we plan your week together.
Do teachers answer questions about modern issues?
Yes, with sources from the Quran and hadith where they apply. For personal rulings on complex matters, teachers will suggest you consult a qualified scholar you trust.
Are lessons taught in English?
Yes. All lessons are explained in English, with Arabic terms such as Iman, Taharah and Akhlaq introduced and explained as you go. Families who prefer Urdu can ask when booking.
How long does it take to learn the basics of Islam?
Most students cover the core topics over several months of regular classes. The basics are then revisited in more depth, because good practice grows over a lifetime, not a single course.
