Quran classes for families in Newcastle
About 27,000 Newcastle residents, 9% of the city, are Muslim according to the 2021 census, the largest Muslim community in the North East. The established Pakistani and Bangladeshi-heritage communities live mostly in the West End, in Elswick, Fenham, Arthur's Hill and Benwell, alongside Arab, Iranian, Kurdish and many other families.
Arabic, Bengali and Persian are the city's most common Muslim community languages. Arabic and Bengali-speaking teachers are available; we do not offer Persian, but every lesson can be in English.
Newcastle University and Northumbria University bring thousands of Muslim students into the city, and across the river in Gateshead, Blaydon, Dunston and Felling, families have fewer local classes.
Students living in Jesmond, Heaton and Fenham can book early or late lessons, pause over the holidays and keep the same teacher when they return.
Short winter days on Tyneside
In December the sun sets in Newcastle well before 4pm, so Maghrib can fall before an after-school lesson begins. Many Newcastle families pray first and then start the lesson, or move lessons to the weekend. In June, the reverse happens, with Maghrib after 9:30pm. See the sunset table below.
