As-salaamu `alaykum

Does anyone know if there are any Arabic classes going on in Reading, UK? Or if there is somewhere I can get info?

Is there anything happening in Milton Keynes? Arabic or Tajweed classes for sisters... perhaps even in the Luton area - something regular and structured?

Jzk!

there is stuff happening in luton alhamdulillah, Miton Keynes im not sure about, i work in MK and the muslims here dont seem to be too structured in their religous affairs, there isnt a salafi or deobandi mosque here, the salafi brothers book a community centre out for jummah every week where i attend to pray.

with regards to luton, let me know what your looking for exactly and what times are convenient and i will arrange inshallah

[Umm]

Milton Keynes and Luton? No chance of you overdosing on excitement br Magoo.
I heard that there's a strong Muslim community in MK, is that true?

My sister recently moved to MK and she's been looking for Qur'aan & tajweed classes for some time now. She said that if there isn't anything in MK then she doesn't mind going down to Luton - but it'll have to be in the mornings (preferably with a creche as she has a small child?). Please could you also find out if there are sister circles and general classes that she can attend?

I'd appreciate any help insha'Allaah! Jzk
