Quran classes for families in Islington
Islington is small and densely packed, and about 12% of its residents, close to 26,000 people, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Turkish, Somali and Bengali are the most widely spoken community languages after English, which reflects the Turkish and Kurdish families around Holloway and the Somali and Bangladeshi households across the north of the borough.
Space is the real challenge here. In a flat off the Caledonian Road or Holloway Road, finding a quiet corner can be harder than finding a teacher, so lessons are short and fixed, and a pair of headphones does most of the work.
On match days at the Emirates Stadium, the roads and stations around Holloway, Drayton Park and Arsenal fill up for hours. Learning at home means a Saturday lesson is never cancelled because of the football.
City, University of London in Clerkenwell and London Metropolitan University on Holloway Road bring many students into the borough. Students can book early-morning or late-evening lessons, pause during the holidays and keep the same teacher when term starts again.
Somali and Bengali-speaking families in Islington
Teachers who explain in Bengali are available for Bangladeshi families, and lessons can be fully in English for children who prefer it. We do not offer Somali explanation, but many Somali-heritage children in Islington are fluent in English and simply want a patient teacher for Noorani Qaida and tajweed.
