Chaza Babli:
Through my experience in the field of teaching, which began after graduating from my country Syria as a teacher of secondary school, and after I arrived in Ireland I started my journey in the field of Islamic studies when I graduated from the European Institute of Human Sciences, the Sharia & Quran Department, France, which was the key to my career with the Quran. And then I joined Al-Furqan Quran centre in dublin and got the certificate of the Nuraniah qualification from Alfurqan Quran Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and that started my career in Quran teaching. I was one of the teachers of the Center over the summer courses. I have experience in teaching Quran, Arabic language and Islamic education for more than three years as I'm a teacher at Noor Al Huda Quran School, which is the largest Quran school in Ireland. I had many different courses to improve my personal skills, such as childcare completed FETAC levels 3 / 4 and ECDL computer courses. I am now with shuhada foundation for the third consecutive year and I am very happy to be part of a team at Shaheeda Zainab School.
