Quran classes for families in South Shields
About 3,700 South Tyneside residents, 2.5% of the borough, are Muslim according to the 2021 census. Bengali is among the most common languages spoken at home after English, alongside Arabic-speaking and other families.
South Shields has one of the oldest Muslim communities in Britain: Yemeni and other Arab seafarers settled around Laygate from the late 1800s, and the town’s Muslim history goes back more than a century.
In Jarrow, Hebburn, Boldon and Whitburn, Muslim families are fewer and often travel into South Shields or Newcastle for classes.
Families in Jarrow and Hebburn can save the trip across the borough each evening with a 30-minute lesson at home.
Bengali- and Arabic-speaking teachers
Bengali- and Arabic-speaking teachers are available, so children can be helped in the family language while learning in English. Most start with Noorani Qaida, and Arabic-speaking children can go on to the Quranic Arabic course.

Planning lessons around school and salah in South Shields
South Tyneside children usually learn after school; in December the sun sets before 3:40pm, so many families pray Maghrib first and then start the lesson.
English schools usually break up in the second half of July and return in early September. South Tyneside Council publishes the exact term dates. In South Shields, Maghrib moves from 15:38 in late December to 21:48 in late June; in Ramadan 2027, expected to begin around 8 February, iftar runs from about 16:54 to 17:55.
