The Quran, the holy book of Muslims, is a spiritual guide whose learning is obligatory for all Muslims. There are various levels of learning the Quran. First, you learn the basic grammar and Tajweed. Then, you learn how to join the alphabet. After this, you can read a word fully. In the next step, you know how to properly read a sentence in Arabic. After you have fully mastered the reading of the Quran, you move towards its translation and Tafseer. After understanding and implementing it in your life, then comes the memorization. Some may think this is the final step but in reality, the learning of the Quran continues throughout your life.
As Muslims, we must pass on the knowledge we have. If you have completed all these steps and believe you understand the Quran, the next thing you should do is teach it to others. As we all know, this era that we all live in is the era of technology. If we want, we can use the technology to benefit ourselves as well as others. One such way of benefitting ourselves along with others is teaching the Quran online. But now, the question arises how can you teach the Quran online effectively? This article will focus on the techniques you can adopt, the methodologies to follow, and much more if you want to teach the Quran online eloquently.
Understand the level of your students
Before adopting any method for teaching the Quran online, you need to understand the psychology of your students. If they are young children, you will need to modify your course according to their understanding level. If you are going to teach adults, adopt methods that best suit their age. Furthermore, you also need to test the prior knowledge of your students and design your techniques based on it. The teaching method may also differ for Arabic and non-Arabic speakers.
Choosing the platform
There are various online Quran teaching platforms such as online academies, and schools where you can teach the Quran. You can also teach it on various online meeting apps.
Utilizing technology
Now comes the real task. You need to utilize the technology in the best possible way so you can teach the Quran effectively. You can record video lectures with or without yourself present in them. You can go for video animation, presentations, and many other ways that best suit your passions and interests.
Interactive learning
If you want your students to learn the Quran from you with diligence and interest, think of all the ways you can make your teaching interactive with the students. Motivate the students to ask critical questions, organize quizzes, give assignments that enable them to implement the learnings in their daily lives, and encourage group discussions.
Assessment and feedback
Assess your students regarding their learning, ask for feedback, and change your methods if needed.
Final remark
Being a Quran teacher is a prestigious and respectable role. Try to adopt new technologies to make it fruitful for your students.
