Educating the Young Child

We are pleased and honoured to hear that Quest has organised the first Muslim education conference in the UK to attract almost 1000 participants.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of those who made this possible --
Scholars, teachers, volunteers, participants and friends -

And we pray that this is just a first step towards fulfilling our mission of ‘supporting schools, teachers and parents in inspiring, educating and nurturing young people to achieve their full potential as stewards on earth.’

* A sampling of feedback received:

“It was so nice to meet you all last Saturday. What a success the conference was! All your hard work paid off - congratulations!” (Hilary, stallholder)

“May Allah Almighty reward you and your team for all your hard work in addressing the real problems we face in these difficult times” (Tanveer, participant)

“I felt that I had to send my congratulations on an inspiring and successful day. The workshops were well-thought out and the speakers and scholars invited to take part were very relevant and important” (ZJ, participant)

“The conference was a truly lovely event -- I had such a wonderful time and met so many lovely people.  Thank you again... for inviting me -- it was a real privilege to be there... Everyone was so helpful and friendly -- it was a very special occasion, and went so smoothly, and I'm full of admiration because the organisation must have been a nightmare! Congratulations...” (Sue Palmer, speaker)
