One stop portal for online links:
We are pleased to launch a one stop portal on Notion that provides the log in details for all the Madrasah classes. This central guide will provide students and parents with an easy access to links for the online Quran recitation and Tarbiyah lessons. In addition, announcements from Madrasah will also be posted here. This is the link to access the portal:

For your ease of reference, we recommend you bookmark this link on your browser.
Please let us know how you find it. Your feedback towards this first version will be of great help towards improving this new platform for Madrasah.
This project has been constructed by Kareem Hooda; one of our students in Daleel class. I would like to recognise his efforts and wish to applaud him for undertaking this initiative to serve the Madrasah. Well done Kareem. JazakAllah Khayral Jazai. May you be Divinely rewarded and granted success in your endeavours, InshAlah
Madrasah Attendance:
Madrasah meets only once a week and during this term, we expect to have only NINE learning days. Every child is expected to attend Madrasah regularly and on time. Attendance will be recorded in each class and so our usual attendance policy will apply which includes the monitoring of late attendance and frequent absenteeism. Please note that a single absence can definitely affect your child’s progress in Deeni Talim.
Report Absenteeism: If your child is unable to attend Online Madrasah then could you kindly notify the Madrasah on the day either by an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..uk or SMS text to 0786 475 8000.
Unable to log in / lesson queries:
If you or your child are unable to log in for the lesson or have any queries related to the Madrasah lessons, then please contact the head of the class your child is in. Some parents have contacted me on Saturday just as the Madrasah commences and regrettably, I have not been able to support due to lack of complete information by the parent regarding the child’s class. It is essential that you are aware of the class your child/ren are in, the teachers names and their contact details.
Tanzil Project:
Alhamdulillah this project was launched on 23rd Shahru Ramadhan. Its aim is to promote Madrasah children to undertake khitma; complete recitation of all the 114 suwar (chapters) of Noble Quran from the first Sura al Fatiha to the last Sura an Naas. Any child in Madrasah who has completed the beginner’s book 'Easy Steps in Qur'an Reading' and is able to recite from any section of the Quran. I would like to urge you to encourage your child/ ren to take part in this programme. More details will be circulated in separate email.
We need Pre-loved books for al Mahdi Library:
Our Madrasah is in the process of setting up a library at the Al Mahdi Centre, for use when we resume on-site programmes. The library will be utilized by the children and all community members. To expand the present collection in the library, we are requesting book donations. If you would like to donate suitable books on Islam, either new books or in good pre-loved condition, then kindly register the book titles you would like to donate at the below link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ut90AzGXPeHMjHHL7qDx9iWv1ihaZzKPl4iqL3rn6ZI/edit?usp=sharing
Thereafter the books which we require will be selected from your list and you will be informed about the delivery arrangements. Kindly DO NOT drop off any books at the Centre. We will contact you in due course to confirm the delivery arrangements such as dates and times, as well as to relay any other information. We would be grateful for your contribution of books.
Let’s continue to offer special prayers to Allah SWT, by wasila of Ahlul Bayt a.s. for protection of all from the epidemic due to the COVID-19 virus and for the cure of all who are unwell. May you and your loved ones be granted safety from all calamities.
Request you to kindly remember in your duas all in my team of dedicated Madrasah volunteers.
Meanwhile, as has been the case, feel free to contact me if there is any clarification you may need.
Yawmul Jumah Mubarakah. Iltimasi Dua.
Shukran
With salams and duas,
