Quran classes for families in Derry/Londonderry
Northern Ireland’s Muslim community is small, about 10,900 people at the 2021 census, and most live in and around Belfast. In Derry City and Strabane, 1,315 people, about 0.9% of residents, gave a religion other than Christianity, the group Muslims are counted in at district level.
Derry sits on the River Foyle, with the Cityside and the Waterside linked by the Peace Bridge, and right on the border with Donegal. Ulster University’s Magee campus and Altnagelvin Hospital bring students and healthcare staff from many countries.
With the nearest larger community in Belfast, about 70 miles away, regular in-person Quran classes can be hard to find.
Many Muslim families in Derry are relatively new arrivals, working at the hospital or studying at Magee. A dependable teacher, the same person every week, gives children a steady routine.
Lessons for families far from Belfast
A one-to-one online teacher gives families in Derry, Limavady and Coleraine the same choice of teacher as families in Belfast: Arabic, Urdu or Bengali-speaking, male or female. Children start with Noorani Qaida and progress at their own pace.
