Read Ben’s storyWho this is for
Made for the ones who never quite fit
Traditional classrooms work for some people. This is for everyone else — and for anyone who simply wants to be met where they are.
Complete beginners
Never read a word of Arabic? That's exactly where many of Ben's students start. You'll be reading sooner than you think.
Returning students
Coming back to the Quran after years away can feel daunting. Here, it's simply welcomed — pick up wherever you left off.
Neurodivergent learners
The Misfit Muslim community was founded with you in mind. Lessons flex around how you actually learn, not how a classroom says you should.
Deep divers
For students craving serious, contemplative engagement — tafsir discussions, thematic study, and honest scholarly conversation.
From a student
Ben and I met one-on-one online for the first time today. I have a lot of questions and we are gradually unpacking those. Already after our first session Ben shared a new, yet Quran-based, view that was mind-expanding. I entered the session feeling low and sad about the way I view the Quran and left the session feeling positive, energized, optimistic and so excited for the next future connects with Ben! He combines empathy, his person-centered approach with well-founded knowledge about both the Quran as well as the Arabic language which is truly enriching.
