Are these Islamic courses for kids free?

Yes. Every course, story, game and worksheet on Ilm for Kids is free, and there are no adverts.

What ages is Ilm for Kids for?

Most of the site is made for children aged about 4 to 12. Younger children enjoy the stories, games and Qaida with a parent; older children can work through the courses on their own.

Do I need to make an account?

No. Children can start learning straight away. A free parent account lets you add each child, save their progress on any device and see it on the Parent Dashboard.

How can my child learn to read the Qur'an online?

Start with the Noorani Qaida course, where every letter and word can be tapped to hear it. Then move on to Read & Memorise, which plays each ayah so your child can listen and repeat, and use the Hifz Tracker to keep memorised surahs strong.

Which madhhab do the fiqh lessons follow?

You choose. The fiqh course has separate chapters for the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, so your child learns the way your family practises.

Where does the content come from?

Lessons are based on the Qur'an and authentic hadith and follow mainstream Sunni scholarship. Qur'an text and recitation are loaded from established Qur'an sources rather than typed by hand.

Is it safe for children?

Yes. There are no adverts, no chat with strangers and no links out to social media. Parents can see exactly what each child has done.

☾ PRIVACY

Keeping your family's information safe

Ilm for Kids is for children, so we keep as little information as we can, we never show adverts, we never track anyone, and we never sell or share your family's information. This page explains exactly what we keep and why.

Last updated: 30 October 2026

👋 For children

🙂
Your grown-up makes the account. They tell us your first name (or a nickname) and you pick a picture. That's all we need to know about you.
⭐
When you finish a lesson or a game, we save a star. Your grown-up can see your stars so they can cheer you on. Nobody else can see them.
🙅
We will never ask for your surname, your address, your school, your photo or where you are. If a website ever asks you for those, tell a grown-up.
🚫
There are no adverts here, and there is no chatting with strangers.
🗑️
If you want your stars and your name taken away, ask your grown-up. They can delete everything in the Parent Dashboard.
💬
If something worries you, talk to your grown-up, and they can email us.

For parents and carers

Ilm for Kids (ilmforkids.com) is a free Islamic learning website for children. Ilm for Kids is the "controller" of the information described here, which means we decide how it is used and we are responsible for looking after it. You can contact us at any time at admin@ilmforkids.com.

You don't need an account. Every lesson, story, game and worksheet works without one. An account only adds two things: saving each child's progress across devices, and the weekly summary email.

What we keep

InformationWhyHow long

About you, the parent: your name, email address, password and 4-digit parent PIN (both stored only in scrambled, "hashed" form, so even we can't read them), your email choices, and the date you agreed to this noticeTo run your account, keep it secure, and send the emails you've chosenUntil you delete your account

About each child: a first name or nickname that you type, and a picture chosen from our set of icons (never a photo)So each child can find their own profile in Kids' CornerUntil you remove the child or delete your account

Each child's progress: which lessons, stories, games and chapters they've finished and when, quiz stars, and their Qur'an memorisation (hifz) trackerTo show progress to the child and to you, and for the weekly summaryUntil you remove the child or delete your account

Security records: failed log-in attempts (the email typed and the internet (IP) address), and password-reset requests (with IP address)To stop people guessing passwords and to protect your accountFailed log-ins: 24 hours. Password resets: 7 days

We don't collect a child's surname, age, birthday, school, address, photo, voice or location, and we don't ask children to type anything about themselves. There is no chat, no messaging and no way for children to contact other users.

On your own device: without an account, progress (and a few settings, such as sound on or off) is saved only in your browser's own storage on that device. It never leaves the device. If you log in and a child is chosen in Kids' Corner, that child's progress is also saved to their account so it follows them to other devices.

Why we're allowed to use it

UK data protection law (the UK GDPR) asks us to say which legal reason, or "lawful basis", we rely on:

Providing the service you asked for (contract). Your account, your children's profiles and their progress, and the emails needed to run the account (welcome, password reset, log-in alerts if switched on, and account deletion).
Legitimate interests. Keeping accounts secure (the short-lived security records above), and the weekly summary email, which you can switch off at any time in the Parent Dashboard.

When you create an account, you confirm that you are a parent or carer aged 18 or over and that you've read this notice. Children don't create accounts and can't give us information themselves.

We don't use anyone's information for advertising, profiling or automated decisions, and we never sell or rent it.

Who else is involved

Our host, Hostinger, runs the computers (servers) where the website, the database and our email live. They act only on our instructions and must keep the information secure. No one else receives your account information.

Files loaded from other websites. To work, some pages load fonts, icons, Qur'an recitations or du'a recordings straight from other services. Like any website you visit, these services receive your device's internet (IP) address and basic browser information when the file loads. They never receive names, emails or progress.

Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com): the lettering on every page.
cdnjs (Cloudflare) and jsDelivr: the icons and the celebration confetti.
Qur'an services (Quran.com / Quran Foundation, EveryAyah and AlQuran Cloud): Qur'an text and recitation on the Qur'an pages.
OpenDua (opendua.org): du'a and dhikr recitations on the Dhikr and Hajj pages.
The Internet Archive (archive.org): the du'a recordings on the Du'as page.

We use no analytics, no advertising networks, no social-media buttons and no tracking pixels.

Cookies and device storage

We use one cookie, called ilm_session, and only when a parent logs in. It keeps you logged in and disappears when you close your browser. It is "strictly necessary", so the law doesn't require a cookie banner for it.

Pages also use your browser's own storage on your device (called "local storage") to remember progress and settings, as explained above. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings. Deleting your account also clears it on the device you delete from.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and your children's progress for as long as you have an account. When you remove a child, their name, picture, progress and hifz tracker are deleted straight away. When you delete your account, everything about your family is deleted straight away, apart from copies in our host's routine backups, which Hostinger keeps for a limited time before they are automatically overwritten. Security records are deleted automatically after 24 hours (failed log-ins) or 7 days (password resets).

Your rights and how to use them

You can do most of these yourself, at any time, in the Parent Dashboard (after entering your parent PIN):

See and download your data. "Download my data" gives you one file with everything we hold about your family.
Correct it. Change a child's name or picture under "Your children", or ask us to correct anything else.
Delete it. Remove one child, or delete your whole account and everything with it.
Stop emails. Switch off log-in alerts or the weekly summary under "Settings".
Object or ask us to limit use. Email us and we'll reply within one month.

Children have these rights too. A child can ask a parent, or contact us with a parent's help.

If you ever have a question or a worry about your family's information, just email us and we'll be happy to help.

Contact us

Email admin@ilmforkids.com with any question about privacy, or to use any of your rights. If we change this notice in an important way, we'll update the date at the top and tell account holders by email.

UK law also gives everyone the right to contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which looks after data protection in the UK, at ico.org.uk.
