You don't have a discipline problem.You have a room problem.


Every year the same shape. You start in Ramadan. By Shawwāl it has quietly stopped. That is not a hundred lazy men — it is one broken mechanism running a hundred times.

Big Tillaawah · Cardiff

The Qur'an has always been carried under four conditions

Madrasah had all four. Ramadan has all four. Your phone at eleven at night has none of them.

  • A place

    Somewhere that is not your kitchen, your bed, or the sofa you fall asleep on. Four evenings a week, Monday to Thursday, doors open six until ten.

  • A time

    Not later tonight. A slot that exists whether you feel like it or not, in a diary that isn't only yours.

  • A listener

    You read aloud and somebody corrects you. This is the one thing you cannot do alone, and it is what has been missing since the day you left madrasah.

  • A test

    One individual assessment every week. You find out where you actually are instead of guessing, and Thursday stops being negotiable.

You have never lacked the intention. You have been failing with intention, for years, because nobody sells you the room.

Big Tillaawah: The Founding Hundred

The whole argument, written down properly. Why the restarting happens, what the four conditions actually are, and exactly how the room in Cardiff runs — the nights, the testing, the moderators, the terms.

This is how the hundred are chosen

Around 90 seconds. It tells us where you are with your Qur'an and whether the room is right for you. Every one of the 100 places is filled from this form, and the book comes to you at the end of it.

We'll use your number and email to send you the book and to talk to you about a founding place. Nothing else, no lists sold on, and you can tell us to stop at any time.
