Classes to be held as scheduled this Sunday

Just a reminder to all of our students, that classes *will* be held, Allah willing, this Sunday, 29 November, at the regular times.

As this month of November has five Sundays, this week’s religious studies hour will be an extra session of ‘Muslim Creed’ taught by Sheikh Thaqib Mahmud.

We wish all of our students, teachers, and supporters a blessed first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, and a blessed Eid al-Adha.
Eid mubarak!
