Quran classes for families in Durham
County Durham’s Muslim community is among the smallest in England in proportion: about 2,900 people, 0.6% of residents, at the 2021 census. A large share are students and staff at Durham University.
Durham is a small cathedral city, and the county around it is a mix of former mining towns and remote dales. In Barnard Castle, Stanhope or Middleton-in-Teesdale, a Muslim family may be the only one for miles.
For those families, a qualified teacher online is often the only realistic option.
Families in the Durham Dales live with long distances and winter weather. Lessons at home are never cancelled because of snow on the roads.
Quran lessons for Durham University students
Durham students can book lessons around lectures and college life, and pause over the vacations. Many use the time to perfect their tajweed, read the whole Quran with a teacher, or start memorising with a realistic plan.
