Help children get to know the Ahl al-Bayt

How Hoda helps

Explore accounts of the Prophet's family and the Twelve Imams alongside lessons about faith and character.

What to expect

Learning connects knowledge to everyday examples of compassion, courage, honesty and justice.

How Hoda lessons work

A typical visit is simple: read a short explanation, answer a few questions, then revisit important ideas later through spaced practice. The aim is understanding that lasts—not speed, streak pressure, or public scores.

Learning that fits family life

You can begin without an account, and a parent account can keep separate profiles for several learners. Younger children may benefit from reading with an adult; older learners can move independently and return when ready.

What this looks like in practice

The lessons introduce the Prophet's family and the Imams within the Twelver Shia tradition, linking accounts to everyday conduct. Read the source with the story and discuss what the example asks of us today.

A clear note about lesson availability

The interface is available in 15 languages, but lesson content is published language by language. A sample link appears only when a real lesson is publicly available in this page’s language; Hoda never silently sends you to an English lesson instead.

Questions

Is this written from a Shia perspective?

Yes. Hoda focuses on Twelver Shia Islam and presents the Ahl al-Bayt within that tradition.

Is Hoda really free?

Yes. Every lesson is free, there are no ads, and you can start without an account. Hoda is kept going by voluntary gifts.

Do I need to sign up?

No. You can start straight away on this device. A free account is only needed to keep progress safe and use it on other devices.

Which languages does Hoda support?

The interface is available in 15 languages. Lessons are published in each language as the curriculum is written and reviewed; not every lesson is available in every language yet.
