SHEEN GURRIB
About this episode

In this episode of Dream, Girl, I sit down with Dr. Saquab Ashraf, founder of CEI UK and my former teacher from Oxford’s Quran Club.

 

We revisit the memories that shaped my own approach to reading the Quran, explore the origins of Q Club, and discuss why stories like Surah Yusuf remain timeless in how they teach us values. 

 

Dr. Saquab shares his vision for education, faith, and community, from maths classrooms to the London Centre for Islamic Understanding.If you’ve ever wondered how to truly connect with the Quran, make sense of faith in everyday life, or why community matters now more than ever, this episode is for you.
