Online Quran Classes in Small Heath, Birmingham

Small Heath runs along Coventry Road and has one of the largest and longest-established Pakistani communities in Birmingham, with a matching density of masjids, maktabs and Islamic bookshops. It is a young ward — a high proportion of the population is under eighteen — which means the demand for children’s Quran tuition here is enormous and the local classes are correspondingly full.

For many Small Heath families the bottleneck is not willingness but capacity. Parents want their children in a proper class, and the proper classes have waiting lists.

The local community

Birmingham’s Muslim community is predominantly of Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage, with the largest Mirpuri population in the country, alongside a significant Bangladeshi community, a long-established Yemeni and Somali presence in Sparkbrook, and African and Arab families across the inner city. Teaching is in English with Urdu support available.

Local timings and how the week fits together

Birmingham weekday slots run 4pm–10pm and weekends 10am–8pm. In practice most families here want the 4:30pm–6pm window, sitting between the end of the school day and the evening maktab. If your child already attends maktab five days a week, the more sensible arrangement is often two or three of our sessions on the days maktab does not run, so the week is not overloaded. We will help you plan that.
