Three things every family should understand about this program.

1. This is an option, not an obligation

The classes are run by a private company. No member of the Jama’at is under any obligation to learn Urdu through this particular option. Families are free to choose any other class, tutor, school, or resource they prefer.

2. Local classes are still encouraged

This program does not replace or discourage Urdu instruction offered locally. Murabbian and other Jama’at officials remain fully free to organize Urdu classes in their own Jama’ats if they wish, and members are encouraged to take part in them. Parents can reach out to their Local Murabbi and ask for in-person Urdu classes to be conducted.

3. It exists to fill a gap

The purpose is to give families an outside option where opportunities to learn Urdu are missing locally. If good Urdu instruction is already available in your Jama’at, you may not need this at all.

About the program

What Fluentify offers

Fluentify is a language-learning company operating since 2013. Its program for Ahmadi families teaches Urdu and Classical Arabic through live online classes, with learning material drawn from Jama’at sermons and books.

  • Ahmadi teachers based in Rabwah, vetted by the company; families may choose a male or female teacher.
  • Two class formats — unlimited live small-group classes, or four one-on-one lessons a month.
  • Parent-controlled accounts with safeguarding built in. Parents set up and manage the account; children attend the classes.
  • Family plans covering up to five learners, so siblings can be enrolled together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do I contact with questions?

You must contact Fluentify directly for all questions relating to classes etc. However, you are encouraged to give your feedback regarding your experience to the Taleem department by emailing urduclasses@ahmadiyya.us. Please note that this email address is only for collecting feedback.

Is my family required to use this program?

No. This is an optional service offered by a private company. The Jama’at is making it available so that families without local Urdu classes have somewhere to turn. You are free to learn Urdu any other way you choose.

Our Jama’at already runs Urdu classes. Does this change anything?

Not at all. Local classes organized by Murabbian, Taleem Secretaries, or other Jama’at officials are welcome and encouraged to continue. This program is not meant to replace them, and nothing here should prevent a Jama’at from starting new local classes.

Who are the teachers?

Ahmadi Muslim Urdu teachers based in Rabwah, recruited and vetted by Fluentify. Families may request a male or female teacher. The teachers being Ahmadi was a deliberate condition, so that vocabulary and examples can be drawn from the writings of the Promised Messiah (as) and other Jama’at literature.

Is Fluentify run by the Jama’at?

No. It is a private company that hires and manages the teachers, runs the platform, and collects the fees.

What ages is this for? Can adults join?

There is no age restriction. But children are especially encouraged since it is easier to learn languages at a younger age.

Does it include Arabic?

Yes. Fluentify offers Classical Arabic alongside Urdu.
