Quran classes for kids in Perry Hall
Perry Hall's masjid opened in 2022 and already teaches hifz. Before a child memorizes, they need to read well, and that's what our one-on-one classes build.
We waive the fee for the first week. Then $29 a month for five classes a week for one child or $50 for two siblings.

A new masjid that teaches hifz
Perry Hall had 29,409 residents at the 2020 census, and since November 2022 it has had its own masjid. Masjid Omar Al-Farouq on Cottington Road holds the daily prayers and two Jumu'ah prayers, at 1:15 and 2:15, and teaches Arabic Islamic studies and a hifz program, with a Sunday youth meeting. Its stated goal is a full-time school.
About 2.7 miles away in Nottingham, Masjid An-Nur runs An-Nur Academy, which includes a Sunday school.
A hifz program moves fastest for children who already read fluently with Tajweed. Our classes build exactly that, one-on-one at home, so a child joining a memorization class is ready for it.
Named for a 1770s house
The community takes its name from Perry Hall Mansion on Perry Hall Road, the home Harry Dorsey Gough built on his 1,000-acre estate in the 1770s. To the north, Gunpowder Falls State Park, set up in 1959, has more than 120 miles of trails.
Perry Hall Elementary doesn't let out until 4:05 this year, so many families here take Quran class at 5 or 5:30 pm.

Is there a mosque in Perry Hall?

Our address says Nottingham. Is that Perry Hall?
Much of Perry Hall uses 21236, the Nottingham ZIP code. Whichever name your mail uses, our classes work the same.
Can you get my son ready for the hifz program?
We can build his reading, Tajweed and short-surah memorization. We aren't connected to the masjid, so we can't promise a place in its program.
What does it cost each month?
One child is $29 a month and two brothers or sisters $50, for five classes a week each. The first week costs nothing.
