Online Quran Classes in Austria and Germany in English
In Austria and Germany, Muslim children grow up between two worlds: German at school, and often Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Bosnian or another language at home. Parents want their children to read the Quran beautifully and understand their faith, but finding a qualified teacher at the right time and in the right language is not always easy.
Online Quran classes in English offer a flexible solution. This guide explains how they work for families across Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Muslim Families in Austria and Germany
A large and young community
In Austria, the Muslim community is large and very young. According to Statistik Austria, 8.3 percent of the population were Muslim in 2021, and in Vienna, Muslims make up 15 percent of the population. Among children, the share is even higher: in Vienna’s compulsory schools, 39 percent of pupils were Muslim in 2023, and in middle schools the figure was 46 percent.
This means many thousands of families are looking for ways to give their children strong Quran and Islamic education.
Islamic education at school and at home
Austria offers Islamic religious education in schools, and many mosques and associations run weekend classes. But school religion classes are limited in time, and weekend classes are often large. Many parents add one to one Quran lessons at home to give their children individual attention and steady progress in reading, Tajweed and memorisation.
Language
Children in Austria and Germany usually think and learn in German. Many families with an international background, as well as teens who are confident in English, find that clear explanations in English help them understand Tajweed rules and meanings better than lessons taught only in Arabic.
Best Quran Class Times in Austria, Germany and Switzerland
All three countries follow Central European Time: UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. Clocks change on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October. Pakistan stays at UTC+5 all year.
Tip: In Austria and Germany, many primary schools finish around midday or early afternoon, while full day schools (Ganztagsschule) finish later. This often gives younger children a convenient early afternoon window, which is also an easy time for teachers in Pakistan.
