How Long Does it Take to Learn Quran | 2021

As Muslims, it is our responsibility to recite the Holy Quran, learn from it and apply its teachings to our lives. What Muslims nowadays don’t realise is that the Quran is not just a book; it is a complete code of life. Throughout the Quran, we can find examples of how to lead our lives. Thus, if we learn Quran and apply it, we can benefit in this world and hereafter. A popular question on everyone’s mind is how long it takes to learn Quran. Before we answer this question, let us focus on the ways through which you can learn Quran.

How to Learn Quran

There are several ways through which you can learn Quran:

Quran Teacher

The best way to learn Quran is through a Quran teacher. The Quran teacher will teach you everything there is to know about the Quran, including with Tajweed. But please conduct extensive research before selecting the teacher. Ask them about their qualifications, sect, and contact numbers of previous students. Such information can help you assess whether the Quran teacher is the right fit for you.

If you do not want to go to the teacher’s place (e.g., mosque, home) or invite them over to your place, you can opt for an online Quran teacher. The benefit of online Quran tutors is that you can learn at a time that is convenient for you and record the lessons for later use.

Quran Websites

If you don’t want to learn Quran from a Quran tutor, you can opt for websites. Several websites have uploaded lessons and other study material. You can use them to start your Quran learning journey. Please select a website that is authentic and reliable. Nowadays, it is effortless to set up a website. Therefore, any person can set up a Quran website. They might impart knowledge that is contrary to the teachings of Islam. Thus, look for reviews and other website information before selecting this option.

YouTube

Other than Quran teachers and websites, you can learn Quran from YouTube. There are many reliable channels available on the video platform. You can opt for the one that seems most appropriate. As visuals accompany the lessons, many find this option appealing.

Mobile Apps

Another way of learning the Quran is through mobile applications. Today, almost every person owns a smartphone. You can find several apps that offer Quran lessons. But the problem is that not all of them are reliable. Many apps are stealing your data. Earlier, there were reports of many apps selling user data to US intelligence agencies.

In light of all the options, in our opinion, the best way to learn Quran is through a Quran teacher, be it offline or online. Now, let us address our original question.

How Long it Takes to Learn Quran

We are assuming that you don’t know the Arabic language. If that’s the case, first you will have to learn the basics of the Arabic language. It takes about a month or two for you to develop an understanding of it. Once that is done, you can move towards the next step, i.e. learn Quran. Normally, it takes about a year for a person to complete the Quran.

But if you plan on learning it, i.e. understand the meaning and context behind every verse, it can be twice as long. Ultimately, the duration depends on your effort level. If you recite the Quran daily with full attention, you can learn it a lot quicker. However, we recommend that you not rush the learning process. Try to read it thoroughly to develop a proper understanding. Apply all the teachings in your daily life to lead a blissful life.
