"How do you inspire the attention of a 100 children aged between 5 and 15 years? Not an easy task but when Jumana Moon was a guest at our weekend school to tell the story of Isra & Miraj (the night journey of Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him) the whole room was enraptured, including the parents. Jumana's storytelling transports you to another time and another place and you really don't want her to stop and when she does it is as if you have been rudely awoken from an enchanting experience. We are so delighted that Jumana is reviving the traditional art of Muslim storytelling - something so needed to inspire and motivate a younger generation."
