A Madrassah built around your family

We will not guess what to teach. We will ask the parents and students what they want, ask our volunteers what they can cover, and bring the two together.

See how it works What is in it for me?

Why we are doing this

Children on the Isle of Man deserve a place to learn the Qur'an, their faith and the Arabic language, with people who care about them. A Madrassah only works when it fits real families and real volunteers. So we begin with listening, before we plan a single lesson.

How it works in four steps

  1. Parents and students tell us what they want

    Each family picks the subjects (we call them goals) that matter most, such as Qur'an reading, Arabic, or learning how to pray. They also choose the days and times that suit them.

  2. Volunteers tell us what they can cover

    Volunteers look at the goals families have asked for and put their name against the classes they can help with. No accounts, no paperwork, just a name beside a class.

  3. We match demand with supply

    A live report shows which goals families want most, which times suit the most students, and which classes already have a volunteer. Management can see at a glance where we are ready and where we are not.

  4. Matched, or find another way

    Where a goal has students and a volunteer, we have good news and a class can begin. Where there is no match yet, we do not give up: we look for an online teacher who can fill the gap.

The two possible outcomes

A match

Students want it and a volunteer can teach it. We confirm the class, share the time with the families, and start.

Good news and happy days

No match yet

Students want it but nobody locally can cover it. We search for a trusted online teacher so that families are not left without.

Plan B: an online match

What it means for you

Parents

  • Your voice decides what is taught.
  • Choose the days and times that fit your family.
  • See that your children are counted and heard.

Students

  • Tell us what you want to learn.
  • Learn with friends, at a time that works.
  • Classes that exist because you asked for them.

Volunteers

  • See exactly which classes need you.
  • Give what you can: one class is a real gift.
  • Know how many students are waiting.

Management

  • Plan from evidence, not guesswork.
  • See live which goals are covered and which need people.
  • Start where demand and teachers already meet.

Our principles

Listen first

The families decide the priorities. We organise around them.

Start with what is real

We open classes where there are both students and a teacher, then grow from there.

Protect privacy

Only the team can see the responses. This page is the only part open to everyone.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to take part?

Sharing your wishes costs nothing. Fees, if any, will be decided by management and shared openly before anything starts.

Does a class start the moment I answer?

Not yet. First we gather what families want and what volunteers can cover. Then we confirm classes and tell everyone.

What if my goal has no volunteer?

It still counts. It tells us where we need help, and it is the reason we look for an online match.

I would like to volunteer. What do I do?

Speak to a member of the team. They will add your name against the classes you can cover.

Be part of the first class

Tell the team what you want to learn or what you can teach. Every voice makes the Madrassah stronger, in shā' Allāh.
