Raising daughters with the Quran: a guide for African Muslim mothers in the UK

Published 28 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

In short

Many mothers prefer a female teacher for their daughters. Online one-to-one lessons with a Hafiza or female teacher let girls learn at home, with mum nearby.

  • Female teachers are available on request.
  • Lessons happen at home, with a parent nearby.
  • Mothers can learn alongside their daughters.

Why mothers choose female teachers

  • Comfort and modesty for older girls
  • A role model who knows the Quran
  • Easier conversations about Islamic topics for girls

Learning together

Some mothers book their own adult lessons too, so mother and daughter can practise together at home.
