Short answer: QuranlyHub’s Alim & Aalimah course is $80/month for two live one-to-one classes a week (8 sessions), or $100/month for four classes a week (16 sessions), each session 40 minutes. That’s higher than a single-subject course like Tajweed or Hifz alone, because one fee covers six subjects taught together, Quran, Tajweed, Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh and Arabic, rather than one. A free trial class comes before you commit to either plan, and the price is the same whether you’re studying the Alim (male) or Aalimah (female) track.
Most searches for “alim course online fees” or “how much does an aalimah course cost” run into the same wall: providers list a headline price, or none at all, and leave the actual breakdown behind a contact form. Here’s exactly what you’re paying for, plan by plan, before you talk to anyone.
What’s Actually Included in the Monthly Fee
One Alim & Aalimah fee covers a full scholarship curriculum, not a single subject: Quran recitation and Tajweed, Tafseer (Quranic exegesis), Hadith studies, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), and Arabic language, all taught one-to-one by a live tutor rather than through pre-recorded video. Sessions are 40 minutes each, scheduled around your week rather than a fixed academic timetable, and sisters on the Aalimah track can request a female tutor throughout at no extra cost. If a student wants a longer session than 40 minutes, that can be arranged directly with your tutor and the fee is adjusted to reflect the extra time.
The Two Plans: $80/Month vs $100/Month
There are two straightforward options. $80/month gets you two classes a week, 8 sessions monthly, a realistic pace for someone studying alongside a full-time job or a busy family schedule. $100/month gets you four classes a week, 16 sessions monthly, which roughly doubles your weekly contact time with a tutor and suits students who want to move through the curriculum faster. Since six subjects rotate through your sessions, more weekly classes means more even coverage across Quran, Tajweed, Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh and Arabic in a given month, rather than one subject falling behind the others.
Why It Costs More Than a Single-Subject Course
A Tajweed-only or Hifz-only course is priced for one subject, taught by a tutor specialized in that one area. The Alim & Aalimah fee is priced for a full scholarship track across six subjects, still delivered one-to-one rather than in a group, which is the main reason it costs more per month than a single course. Judged purely on cost-per-subject, it works out cheaper than enrolling in six separate one-to-one courses individually, it’s a bundled qualification path, not six separate bills.
What You’re Actually Paying For at This Price
- Live, one-to-one teaching, not a pre-recorded video library or a group class where you compete for attention.
- A structured, progressive curriculum across Quran, Tajweed, Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh and Arabic, not an improvised session-to-session plan.
- A female tutor option for the Aalimah track, at the same price as the Alim track, not as a paid add-on.
- Teaching in English or Urdu, with the full curriculum genuinely available in Urdu rather than translated on the fly.
- Flexible scheduling around work, university or family life, since most students study part-time over several years rather than on a fixed academic term.
Is a Free “Alim Course” Actually Cheaper in the Long Run
Free or self-paced Islamic studies content exists from various seminaries and platforms, and it’s genuinely useful for casual learning. What it doesn’t replace is a tutor checking your Tajweed pronunciation live, correcting your Fiqh reasoning in real time, or verifying you’ve actually understood a Hadith text rather than just read it. For a multi-year certification path, the cost of a live tutor is what makes the qualification meaningful, self-paced free content and a paid, one-to-one certified program solve different problems, not the same one at different prices.
Alim vs Aalimah: Does the Price Differ?
No. “Alim” refers to a certified male scholar and “Aalimah” to a certified female scholar, but the core curriculum, the session structure, and both pricing plans are identical across the two tracks. The only practical difference is that Aalimah students can request a female tutor throughout, which doesn’t change the monthly fee either way.
Comparing Before You Commit
Many providers in this space don’t publish a real fee table at all, pricing only appears after you fill in a contact form and speak to someone. That makes an apples-to-apples comparison genuinely difficult to do from search results alone. The most reliable way to compare is to ask any provider you’re considering the same three questions directly: the exact monthly fee for your preferred number of weekly sessions, whether a female tutor is available at no extra cost, and whether a free trial class comes before you’re asked to pay anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Alim & Aalimah course cost online?
$80/month for two classes a week (8 sessions), or $100/month for four classes a week (16 sessions). Each session is 40 minutes, taught one-to-one.
What’s included in the monthly fee?

Is there a free trial before I have to pay?
Yes. A free trial class comes before you commit to either the $80 or $100 monthly plan, so you can judge the teaching style first.
Do I pay extra for a female tutor on the Aalimah track?
No. A female tutor is available for the Aalimah track at the same price as the Alim track, not as a paid add-on.
Is the Alim course price different from the Aalimah course price?
No, both tracks share the same curriculum structure and the same two pricing plans. The only difference is that Aalimah students can request a female tutor.
Can I switch between the 2-class and 4-class plan later?
Yes. Message your tutor or the QuranlyHub team on WhatsApp to adjust your weekly session count as your schedule changes, the monthly fee updates accordingly.
Why is this course priced higher than a single Tajweed or Hifz course?
Because one fee covers six subjects taught one-to-one rather than one subject, it’s a bundled scholarship path. Compared per subject, it works out cheaper than enrolling in six separate one-to-one courses.
