Foundations of Islam — Theory & Real Practice (Private)
Learn the foundations of Islam one-to-one, in both theory and real practice — the articles of belief, the prayer (salah), and everyday life — at your own pace, in an atmosphere friendly to a multicultural setting. Ideal for those preparing to live as a Muslim, or simply wanting to understand Islam more deeply — no connection to marriage required.
