In the upstairs hall the Saturday
morning Quran class is under way. Pupils sit or kneel at low benches with Qurans or primers. Each goes to the front in turn to recite
publicly verses they have learnt by heart that week. They recite in Arabic.
Separate
Qur'an classes are held for boys and girls.
Quran means recitation and the words of the Quran are in flowing rhyming
Arabic.
