(6 months course – Every Saturday 2:00pm – 3:30pm)
FEE: £150.00 (payable £25 per month)
Understanding the role of an Imam in today’s world is essential knowledge for every Muslim. Living in modern Britain presents unique social, cultural, and ethical challenges, making it vital for our community to develop leaders who can navigate these realities with wisdom, balance, and clarity.
This course provides a structured and relevant pathway to gain that understanding. Participants will explore how Islamic leadership translates into everyday life; at home, at work, and within wider British society, ensuring that their learning is both grounded and practical. A central focus is ensuring that Islamic teachings are applied correctly and responsibly within the context of modern British life. The program also emphasizes the importance of community cohesion by fostering mutual respect, positive engagement, and constructive dialogue within and beyond the Muslim community.
We are offering an excellent opportunity for men aged 16 and above to deepen their knowledge and cultivate the skills required to serve effectively in the contemporary environment. The benefits extend beyond the individual: a well-informed and principled leader positively influences his immediate family, strengthens the moral fabric of the household, promotes community harmony, and contributes meaningfully to the neighborhood.
Whether you aim to pursue formal religious leadership or simply wish to play a more impactful role in your surroundings, this program equips you with the insight and confidence needed for modern times.

A Foundation for Full Hifz
After completing these 30 surahs, students have the option to continue toward full hifz. This program serves as a stepping stone for those who wish to pursue the full memorization of the Qur’an.
Parents Can Assess Long-Term Readiness
Parents will be able to see whether they can realistically support and guide their child through the longer and more demanding full hifz program.
Teachers Can Evaluate Each Child’s Ability
Our teachers will assess each child’s memorization capability, discipline, and retention skills — helping determine if full hifz is a suitable path for them.
Children Discover Their Own Potential
Students themselves will build confidence, recognize their strengths, and understand whether they are ready and motivated to pursue full hifz in the future.
No Long-Term Commitment Required
This program is ideal for families who are not prepared to commit to full hifz immediately. Your child can benefit from high-quality memorization training without feeling pressured into a multi-year journey.
A Lifelong Gift, Even Without Full Hifz
Whether or not a student continues to full hifz, memorizing these 30 surahs will enrich their Salah, strengthen their relationship with the Qur’an, and benefit them throughout their life.
