'I'm very happy about home schooling, and I think nobody can deny its benefit in Islamic upbringing...  A sister from London.

'My best lessons in Islam occur at the end of the day when they've run themselves into the ground and are cuddled up to me in our family bed. Then I can recite to them all the Qur'an I know (not a lot... only about 20 small surahs) and talk to them about the five pillars of Islam, answering their questions etc. for about an hour.

It's surprising how much they've been able to pick up and retain even from this very informal teaching!' A sister from Canada.

'We plan every day of our week; lessons to do, worksheets to make, educational places to visit etc. In the end all goes differently that what we thought it should have be.
