TERM 1

Details for London Short Course term 1.

UNDERSTAND YOUR PRAYER

An exciting eight-week short course exploring the meaning of what we recite and hear in our daily prayers.

The first session each week will explore the meaning of what we recite in our prayers; the second session each week will explore some of the common suras that are recited in the communal prayers, such as Eid and Friday prayers.

In so doing, we will gain a better understanding of the purpose behind our daily prayers and thereby develop a stronger connection with our Lord.
