Teaching Quran For A Fee
I teach Qur’anic Arabic grammar and rely on student fees for financial support, but I’m torn by doubts. I’ve heard that Islam discourages making a profession out of teaching the Qur’an for personal gain. The dilemma is that I have deep passion for teaching the Qur’an and my students really benefit from my teaching, praising my skills, but I charge fee because I rely on this income to support myself. If I switch jobs, I won’t be able to teach the Qur’an and my students will struggle finding another teacher, and if I teach for free, I’ll struggle financially. The dilemma makes me confused and worried. I fear Allah’s displeasure and worry about the consequences in the afterlife. I’m afraid of going to Hell. I aspire to enter Jannah. Please guide me how I can balance my passion for teaching the Qur’an with Islamic values and avoid jeopardizing my afterlife?

We pay the imam for taking care of the mosque, calling us to prayer, we pay the butchers who sacrifice our animals to God and we pay the barbers who cut our hair during Hajj.
Services, being religious or not, is not above compensation or else these services will die and that is the greater loss.
The argument that people make about personal gain and Qur’an refers a verse about selling revelation for a price which refers to Children of Israel scholars who changed the religion of God to please others for personal gain i.e sin of hiding the truth for money, it has nothing to do with making a career out of teaching God’s word and especially Classical Arabic that has other uses.
