Quran classes for families in Dumfries and Galloway
Dumfries and Galloway is one of the most rural parts of Scotland, and its Muslim community is very small: about 600 people, 0.4% of residents, at Scotland’s 2022 census.
From Gretna on the English border to Stranraer and Portpatrick in the far west, families may live an hour or more from any other Muslim family, and from any regular Quran class.
Many work at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, in local businesses or on farms, often on long or irregular hours.
In a very small community, children may never meet another Muslim pupil at school. A regular teacher who knows them well helps them grow in confidence and faith.
The only regular class for many families
For Muslim families here, a one-to-one online teacher is often the only regular Quran teaching available. Children start from Noorani Qaida, adults can learn on the same plan, and a female teacher is available for women and girls.
