Shia Quranic Academy was born from a simple observation: millions of Shia Muslims living in the West — in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe — have no access to a qualified Shia Quran teacher locally. General online Quran platforms teach mixed or Sunni-based curricula. Local Islamic centres, where they exist at all, often cannot provide qualified Shia scholars. And the great Hawzas of Najaf and Qom — the living heartbeat of Shia Islamic scholarship — are geographically inaccessible to the vast majority of the global Momineen community.

How Shia Quranic Academy Was Founded

In 2019, a small team of Shia Muslims — scholars, educators, and technology professionals — came together to solve this problem. They created Shia Quranic Academy: an online institute that would bring the authentic scholarship of Najaf and Qom directly to every Shia home worldwide, through live, personalised, one-on-one online sessions. No pre-recorded videos. No group classes. No compromise on curriculum authenticity. Just a qualified Hawza-certified Shia teacher and one student — wherever in the world that student may be.

Our Commitment to Authentic Shia Islamic Education

The founding principle of Shia Quranic Academy is simple and non-negotiable: every course, every teacher, and every curriculum must follow exclusively the authentic Shia Ahlul Bayt (AS) school of thought. This means every Tajweed rule follows the Shia tradition. Every Fiqh ruling follows Fiqh Jaffria. Every Tafseer interpretation follows the scholarly chains of the Imams (AS). Every teacher holds a formal Ijazah from the Hawza Islamic seminary of Najaf or Qom — not just an informal teaching certificate or online qualification.

Unique Courses Only Available at Shia Quranic Academy

Today, Shia Quranic Academy offers 15+ courses across the complete spectrum of Shia Islamic education — from Shia Noorani Qaida for Beginners to the advanced study of Nahjul Balagha and Sahifa Sajjadiyya. These advanced courses — Nahjul Balagha, Usul al-Fiqh, Ilm al-Kalam, and Shia Irfan — are entirely unique and unavailable at any other online Quran academy. They represent the depth of authentic Shia scholarship that Shia Quranic Academy brings to the global Momineen community.
