HOST
Q-Club Pop-Up takes the much-loved format of Q-Club and makes it mobile — travelling across the UK and beyond to share the same spirit of learning and connection with the Qur’an in local cafés, community centres, intimate venues and online!
Whether you’re in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, or even abroad this is your chance to bring Q-Club to you.
Belong to a digital community? We can bring the Q-Club experience to you— we’ll join you online for an unforgettable session.
It’s not a lecture.
It’s not a class.
It’s a reflective space, a conversation — open, relevant, and rooted in the Qur’an.
“Engaging in a Sura for a whole year, in this accessible and reflective format, has allowed me to take practical lessons that are directly relevant to my day to day life. Q-Club has had a transformational impact on my life.”
– Areeg, Q-Club attendee
Funds raised through Q-Club Pop-Ups will directly support the creation of The Q-Institute — a purpose-built, state-of-the-art centre dedicated to Qur’anic and Islamic learning, research, and community engagement.
The Q-Institute will be a space designed to inspire understanding, advance research, and make Qur’anic and Islamic sciences accessible to all.
The Institute will feature:
Teaching Facilities & Research Hub
Qur’an Library
Community Hub
Private Members’ Lounge
Male & Female Prayer Spaces
Our vision is to establish an institution that enables deep engagement with the Qur’an and nurtures scholars, thinkers, and contributors who can address the challenges of our time.
Together, we aim to make the Qur’an a lived reality — transforming hearts, minds, and society through a Qur’anic worldview.
Join us on our journey through hosting a Q-Club Pop-Up to raise funds for The Q-Institute and sharing our vision widely in your community. Find out how to host your very own Q-Club Pop-Up below.

Since 2013, Q-Club has been transforming the way people engage with the Qur’an in the heart of London.
To date, Q-Club has explored over 1200 verses, 13 Suras sparking thousands of conversations, questions, and personal journeys — one coffee, one reflection at a time.
Q-Club is currently held at Waterstones, Tottenham Court Road, London.
Set in popular Soho coffee shops, this unique, accessible, and deeply reflective space has welcomed hundreds of people from all walks of life — all coming together to explore the Qur’an in English, like never before.
Each fortnight, led by the reputed Qur’an scholar Dr Ashraf, participants dive deep into a different Sura each year — unpacking key themes, timeless lessons, and spiritual insights through the lens of Professor Abdel Haleem’s acclaimed translation of the Qur’an, under whom Dr Ashraf studied.
