Online Quran Classes in Philadelphia: West Philly, North Philly, and Beyond
Philadelphia’s Muslim community stands apart from most American cities: its majority is African-American. Unlike New York or Houston where South Asian and Arab immigrants form the largest Muslim demographic groups, Philadelphia’s Muslim community has its deepest roots in the African-American tradition. Families looking for a detailed local guide can explore our Best Quran Classes Philadelphia resource to learn more about Quran education options in the city.
Philadelphia’s African-American Muslim Heritage
From the Nation of Islam era through to the Warith Deen Mohammed transition to Sunni Islam in 1975.
Today, Philadelphia’s Muslim community is more diverse. South Asian immigrant families, primarily Pakistani, represent approximately 30 percent of the city’s Muslim population. West African families, particularly Senegalese and Gambian communities in West and South Philadelphia, add further diversity. Philadelphia is often cited as having one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, home to more than 70 mosques. Our Online Quran Classes Pennsylvania page provides information for families seeking online Quran education across the wider state.
