Quran classes for families in Portsmouth
About 10,000 Portsmouth residents, almost 5% of the city, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Bengali is the city's most common Muslim community language, reflecting a long-established Bangladeshi community, alongside Arab, Pakistani and other families and many students at the University of Portsmouth.
Most of Portsmouth sits on Portsea Island, one of the most densely populated places in the UK, and only a few roads link it to the mainland. Rush-hour traffic on and off the island can make an evening journey to a class surprisingly slow.
Across the harbour in Gosport, and inland in Fareham, Havant and Waterlooville, Muslim families are fewer and further from established classes.
Portsmouth is a naval city, and some families live with irregular working patterns and deployments. A home lesson at a fixed time gives children stability even when a parent is away.
Bengali-speaking teachers for Portsmouth families
For Bangladeshi families, a teacher who explains in Bengali can talk to a parent or grandparent in the family language while teaching the child in English. Lessons can also be fully in English. Most children start with Noorani Qaida.
