Quran classes for families in Preston
About 16% of Preston's residents, close to 24,000 people, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Preston is unusual in the North West because Gujarati, not Urdu, is its most common community language after English, reflecting the many Gujarati Indian-heritage Muslim families who settled around Deepdale, Fishwick and St Matthew's.
The University of Central Lancashire's main campus is in the city centre, so Preston also has many Muslim students, including Arabic-speaking students from overseas, who want to keep up their recitation during their studies.
Beyond the city, families in Leyland, Chorley, Garstang, Kirkham and along the Fylde coast at Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood often have no Quran class nearby at all.
Preston's Gujarati Muslim families have strong traditions of hifz and Qur'anic education. Many parents want a child to keep up revision of what they have memorised over the long summer holiday, and online lessons make that easy even when the family is travelling.
A note for Gujarati-speaking families in Preston
Our teachers explain in English, Urdu, Arabic or Bengali; we do not have Gujarati-speaking teachers. In practice, most Preston children are fluent in English and learn very well with English explanation, and many grandparents follow Urdu. The Quran itself is always read in Arabic, with proper tajweed.
