Taught in Kashmiri
Learn the Qur'an in Kashmiri
Lessons in the Qur'an and Tajweed, explained in Kashmiri — کٲشُر.
The Qur'an is recited in Arabic, but it is best explained in the language of the heart. Mohammad Shafi Mir teaches the Qur'an, Tajweed and Qur'anic Arabic with lessons explained in Kashmiri, so that children, parents and grandparents can all learn in the language they know best. Classes are live, online and in small groups.
Why learn in Kashmiri?
When lessons are explained in your mother tongue, they are clearer, questions come more easily, and nothing is lost in translation. For many elders who never studied in Urdu or English, it is the difference between watching from a distance and finally learning.
Who learns in Kashmiri
- Children from Kashmiri-speaking homes
- Parents and grandparents who wish to learn, or to correct their recitation
- Kashmiri families living outside the Valley who want their children to learn in Kashmiri
Questions
Which languages are the lessons taught in?
Lessons are explained in Urdu, Kashmiri, Hindi or English, so each student can learn in the language they understand best. The Qur'an itself is, of course, read in Arabic.
Do you teach families in Kashmir?
Yes. The school is based in Kashmir, and families across the Valley — in Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramulla, Sopore, Pulwama, Budgam, Kupwara and elsewhere — learn online from home, with lessons in Kashmiri if they wish.
I am an adult and never learned. Is it too late?
It is never too late. Many adults begin with the alphabet. Adults learn separately from children, at a steady pace, without any pressure.
How many students are in a class?
Classes are kept small, so that every student can read aloud and be corrected in every class. Students learn alongside others of a similar age and level.
Is the first class free?
Yes. The first class is free of charge. It is a chance to meet the teacher, read together, and find the right place to begin. You can arrange it on WhatsApp or by phone.
