A very comfortable experience

I was nervous about starting Quran classes with Shaykhi in the beginning, but the teachers are welcoming, friendly and understanding. The classes themselves are also great. I’ve made a lot of progress in reading and memorising the surahs of the Quran and others have noticed my improvement as well.
