⚫I teach Islamic studies programmes for both adults and children. I provide clear learning objectives for learners whilst also applying tried and tested strategies for learning within my teaching. My courses are structured with each unit/lesson following an outlined programme timetable (see example of course information below).
⚫My specialist service is that I also teach Islamic studies to Muslim children with Specialist Learning Difficulties
⚫I conduct Muslim marriage ceremonies - ( عقد زواج و النكاح). Often, I have also delivered such ceremonies for reverts whilst accommodating within my talk for their families in attendance.
⚫I deliver ‘Eid and Jumu’ah Khutbah in a manner that appeals to and is made relevant for younger audiences.
⚫ I convey Islamic talks and reminders online and in community centres/Masaajid that can be both subject specific and also relate, where relevant, to the the Hijri calendar. At the time of writing, I have just delivered guidance on how to spend Dhu al-Hijjah. This advice was made on behalf of the Muslim Council of Britain for their Islam 101 users.
⚫I am responsible for answering the Islam 101 queries made to the relevant Muslim Council of Britain. These queries, for the most part, are made by non-Muslim audiences.

✔️Progress learners from instructional reading to an independent reading of the Quran.
