Masjid Nabawi Summer Intensive Program: Quran Memorization, Islamic Studies & Online Learning
The Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah offers Quran and Islamic education programs for people who want to study while visiting Madinah or participate remotely from anywhere in the world.
This guide explains two different educational programs associated with the Prophet’s Mosque:
- The Summer Intensive Program — a seasonal program that includes in-person study at Masjid Nabawi.
- The Regular Remote Program — an online Quran-learning program available throughout the year.
The programs, dates, registration procedures, courses and locations can change. Always check the relevant official platform before registering.
1. Summer Intensive Program at Masjid Nabawi
The Summer Intensive Program is a seasonal educational program held during a specific period of the year. It combines Quran memorization and revision with Quran recitation and Islamic studies.
The program has included both in-person participation at Masjid Nabawi and online participation.
2026 Summer Program
The 2026 program ran from:
June 27 to August 7, 2026
These dates are now past. They are included here as a reference for the 2026 edition; future editions may have different dates and registration arrangements.
What does the Summer Intensive Program include?
The published 2026 information included educational tracks such as:
- Quran memorization (Hifz)
- Quran revision
- Quran recitation and correction
- Tajweed and Tilawah
- Islamic texts
- Islamic sciences
- Ijazah-related study
- Programs adapted for people with disabilities
The exact courses and tracks may vary from one edition to another.
Who can participate?
The program information published for 2026 indicated participation for men and women and included both local and international participants.
Eligibility and documentation requirements should be checked against the official announcement for each year’s program.
Is the program free?
The 2026 program information indicated that participation was free of charge.
Future programs may have different arrangements, so confirm the current announcement before registering.
How to register for the Summer Intensive Program
Registration for the 2026 program was handled through the official Quran education registration platform.
The general process was:
- Open the official registration platform.
- Create an account if required.
- Select the relevant program.
- Complete the registration information.
- Follow the instructions provided after registration.
Important: Registration procedures, documents, placement procedures and registration deadlines can change between program editions.
For the next Summer Intensive Program, use the official announcement and registration instructions rather than relying on the 2026 procedure.
Attending the program at Masjid Nabawi
For an in-person program, participants should follow the location and arrival instructions provided by the organizers for that year’s program.
Do not assume that a particular gate, classroom or prayer-area location used in one year’s program will remain the same in the following year.
The mosque’s internal arrangements can change, and participants should follow current signage and instructions from staff and organizers.
Women and the Summer Intensive Program
The 2026 program information indicated that women could participate.
Women should follow the specific instructions given by the organizers regarding registration, designated areas, arrival and educational circles.
Because women’s access arrangements inside Masjid Nabawi can change, current instructions should always take priority over older online information.
What happens after registration?
Some participants may be assigned to a placement or sorting process before being placed in an appropriate educational circle.
The exact process can depend on the program and the participant’s chosen track.
If your registration does not immediately show a teacher, class or study circle, check the instructions provided through the official registration system and contact the program’s official support service if necessary.
2. Regular Remote Quran Program
The Summer Intensive Program should not be confused with the regular remote Quran-learning program, which operates online rather than being limited to the summer period.
The remote program allows learners to study Quran from outside Madinah and is therefore useful for people who cannot attend lessons at Masjid Nabawi in person.
The current official Haramain Quran-learning platform, Maqraa Al-Haramain, describes an online learning environment offering Quran recitation, Tajweed, memorization and other Quranic learning opportunities under qualified teachers. It also provides live online sessions and supports learners from different locations.
What can you study remotely?
The available learning tracks can include:
- Correction of Quran recitation
- Talqeen (guided repetition)
- Quran memorization
- Quran revision
- Ijazah programs
- Intensive study
- Programs for people with special needs
The available tracks and registration process can change as the platform develops.
Who can join?
The remote format is designed for learners who cannot attend in person and can be accessed online.
Before registering, check the current eligibility and language options on the official platform.
How does online learning work?
The official platform provides online sessions with qualified Quran teachers and allows learners to arrange or join sessions according to the available program structure. It also provides tools for monitoring learning progress.
Quran memorization and revision
Learners can use the remote program for:
- Starting Quran memorization
- Continuing an existing memorization plan
- Revising previously memorized portions
- Improving recitation
- Studying Tajweed
Ijazah
An Ijazah track may be available for qualified learners who meet the program’s requirements.
Because Ijazah requirements and assessment procedures are specific, prospective students should follow the current official registration and assessment instructions rather than relying on older descriptions.

Which program is right for you?
If you are visiting Madinah during the summer
The Summer Intensive Program may be the more relevant option because it can provide an opportunity to study in person at Masjid Nabawi.
However, check the dates before planning your trip around it.
If you live outside Madinah
The Regular Remote Program is the more practical option because it allows Quran study without travelling to Madinah.
If you want an Ijazah
Check the current Ijazah track and its requirements before registering. Do not assume that the requirements or assessment procedure from a previous program year remain unchanged.
Registration and Support
Because registration systems and educational platforms can change, use the official platform associated with the current program.
For the remote Quran-learning service, the official Maqraa Al-Haramain platform provides information about registration and online Quran sessions.
For a future Summer Intensive Program, wait for the official announcement of the new edition before relying on registration dates, locations or requirements from 2026.
