At the Quran, Arabic & Reflection Institute (QARI), we strive to cultivate lifelong companions of the Qur’an—people who learn it, understand it, and live by its guidance.

Since 2018, we have helped children, teens, and adults grow in their connection with the Qur’an. Our programs bring together Qur’an recitation, tajweed, memorization, Arabic, and reflection, helping students develop both the skills and habits needed for lasting progress.

We believe that meaningful learning takes patience, consistency, and personal guidance. Through structured lessons, regular revision, and dedicated teachers, we support students at every stage—from learning to read the Qur’an to memorizing it and strengthening what they have learned. Our Arabic programs help students access the meanings of the Qur’an and deepen their understanding of Islam.

We offer in-person Qur’an classes at Al-Manar Learning Center and Mosque in Blackwood, New Jersey, and Arabic classes at UMM Masjid in Philadelphia. Our online programs extend these opportunities to students beyond our local communities.

QARI is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors. Together with our teachers, families, and supporters, we work to make Qur’an and Arabic learning a meaningful part of everyday life.
