What our students say

In Their Own Words

Every testimonial here reflects a unique journey of faith and learning. These are more than just stories; they are invitations to experience Al Ilm for yourself and witness how our courses can enrich your understanding and practice of Islam.

    This course was an incredible journey of spiritual growth, self-reflection and my deep connection with Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. Through this course I haven’t just learned the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala but also experienced their impact, support and comfort in my own life. The Quran is a true light and guidance.

    Some days were challenging in this course but that taught me patience and the importance of striving in the path of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. I felt that every verse, each verse is a personal message, a reminder for me, a source of comfort in difficult times, a friend in loneliness and my best companion and a source of peace. I pray that the Quran will continue to be our guide in shaping our actions, our characters and transformation of our heart and soul.

    While I found Perceptions classes very informative and interesting, the best part is the class environment. My classmates & I have grown close as we learn more about our religion together. Going to Perceptions has become my favorite part of the week.

    An era where many young people are drifting away from Islam, my three children—Hana, Awad, and Aiza—have completed their Quranic studies at the Maktab. The youngest is in her final year. Despite the challenges of today’s world, they have cultivated a deep sense of love and reverence for Allah. Before embarking on any task, they reflect on the afterlife, align their actions with their faith, and strive to do everything for the sake of Allah.

    Deen Talk is more than just a study program—it is a space where Islam and Quran are taught with clarity, relevance, and sincerity. It combines what every student of deen truly needs: good teachers and a strong, well-structured program. Together, they create an environment that is both intellectually enriching and spiritually uplifting, and makes you yearn for Allah’s pleasure.

    The benefits I’ve gained are countless: spiritual clarity, courage, companionship, and a stronger relationship with the Quran. Most importantly, I have developed the confidence to realise my own faults and work on them, and thora thora wisdom to figure out that others can be right too. I would wholeheartedly recommend Deen Talk to others because. It is not just a class—it is a journey of transformation, guided by teachers who embody sincerity, courage, and love for Allah.

    I have two daughters who went to Maktab for their tajweed and tarbiyah lessons.
    My older daughter, Maria Mansoor, graduated from Maktab in 2022. She started her journey in 2019.
    Maria had an incredibly fulfilling journey at Maktab. She loved her wonderful teachers, and the lessons she learnt taught her to recite the Quran in a beautiful voice, with very good tajweed. Maria also learnt to be kinder, more respectful, and a better human being.
    I couldn’t be more thankful to the teachers and administration at Maktab, who have been like second mothers to my children and have taught them so well and so lovingly.

    I have completed the Surah Al Fatihah online certificate course .My understanding about the surah has increased a lot. The course has helped me to develop a deeper connection with the Holy Quran. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to begin the study of the holy book of Allah.

    Fahm Ul Qur’an

    Raila’s experience has been a vast and intellectual journey. I wanted to know what I was reading in Arabic in tafsir. The Quran was a great achievement for me, though I still feel I have a long way to go to learn as it was my very first time. It has helped me change the way I deal with people and be disciplined in all I do. The constant reminders from the Quran helped me change my perspective about life and people. It is not about how much you absorb mentally, but how much it has settled in your heart. I would highly recommend Huma Appa’s classes to everyone at Al-In for a better understanding towards Islam
