Quran classes for families in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland's Muslim community is small and spread out: around 10,900 people at the 2021 census, with the largest share in and around Belfast. Outside the city, a regular in-person Quran class can be hard to find, which is exactly where one-to-one online lessons help most.
Northern Ireland is the most westerly part of the UK, so on summer evenings its sunsets are the latest in the country, pushing Maghrib and Isha later than in Great Britain.
In a small community, finding a teacher for a particular need, such as a female hifz teacher or someone who explains in Arabic or Urdu, can be very difficult locally. Online, families anywhere in Northern Ireland can choose the teacher that suits them.

Questions from families in Northern Ireland
Are lesson times the same as in Great Britain?
Yes. Northern Ireland uses UK time, so lesson times are identical. Sunsets are later than in Great Britain, especially in summer, so evening lessons after Maghrib run later.
Is there a Quran centre in Northern Ireland I can visit?
No, we teach online only; our registered address is in Birmingham.
