Begin with the short sūrahs you already recite. Ustadha Fateha guides sisters of all ages and levels through translation, explanation and reflection every Thursday morning.
Broad Islamic studies
Sanatayn is for sisters who want an ordered route through several Islamic sciences rather than isolated short classes. Both cohorts cover Qurʾān, Arabic, Fiqh, Hadith and the Prophetic biography, with regular study and assessment.

A deliberate learning environment
A dedicated space can make it easier to ask personal questions, participate in recitation and discuss women’s Fiqh with confidence. Our sisters-only classes are taught by women and designed around privacy, respect and consistent participation.
The courses remain academically structured: clear curricula, live teaching, course materials, assessments where applicable and a Student Portal that keeps learning organised between sessions.
Ocean of Islam offers a free Weekly Tafsir class for sisters of all ages, Sanatayn Weekend for ages 14+, and Sanatayn Weekday for adult sisters aged 18+. The planned Tajweed course has been cancelled.
Sanatayn means “two years”. A Sanatayn course is a structured two-year foundation in Islamic studies. At Ocean of Islam, sisters study Qurʾān and Tajweed, Arabic, Fiqh, Hadith and Seerah, with ʿAqīdah included in the weekday curriculum. Read our complete guide to Sanatayn courses.
Yes. These live classes are taught by qualified female teachers in private, sisters-only learning environments. Each course page explains its teacher, format and safeguarding arrangements.
Yes. Sessions are taught live online at UK times, with course materials and administration supported through the Ocean of Islam Student Portal. They are live cohorts rather than self-paced video courses.
The free Weekly Tafsir class welcomes complete beginners who want a focused, accessible introduction to the meanings of familiar surahs. Both Sanatayn routes also begin from clear foundations and provide broader study across several Islamic sciences.
Weekly Tafsir welcomes sisters of all ages, Sanatayn Weekend welcomes sisters aged 14 and above, and Sanatayn Weekday is an adult cohort for sisters aged 18 and above. Students under 18 require parent or guardian registration.
Recordings are not routinely distributed, in keeping with the privacy of students and teachers in a sisters-only environment. Students should plan to attend live and use the course materials and class support to keep up.
Compare the course details, choose the schedule you can sustain, and enrol for the September 2026 intake.
