PAST SHORT COURSES
2021 – (T1) Understand Your Prayer; (T2) Ramadan; (T3) Openings

Every term, CEI hosts an eight week short course in central London on a variety of topics and themes.
See below for the Short Courses facilitated during this academic year.
TERM 1
Details for London Short Course term 1.
UNDERSTAND YOUR PRAYER
An exciting seven week short course exploring the meaning of what we recite and hear in our daily prayers.
The first session each week explored the meaning of what we recite in our prayers; the second session explored some of the common suras that are recited in the communal prayers, such as Eid and Friday prayers.
In so doing, we have gained a better understanding of the purpose behind our daily prayers and thereby develop a stronger connection with our Lord.
