  • Sister Nichole and Shaykha Mariam are a dynamic duo. I often felt close to both teachers in their respective ways but it gave me comfort knowing they were reachable at a moments notice on several different platforms if I had trouble with anything. You could tell they honored their students to a high degree and it didn’t feel at any moment that I was abandoned or that they didn’t care to see me progress. Their sincerity and genuinity shined through.

    Fatema E

  • I have gained more confidence when reciting. I have also become more aware of my mistakes which helps me improve. I also feel closer to Allah, Subhanallah.

    Nebi

  • SubhanAllah, literally everything (about this course was useful and valuable) ... (the presentation) slides, classes, recordings, surah analysis, opportunity to practice in class, the Telegram group.... actually if i had to pick one thing that kept me going, it was the Telegram group. Everything was useful and valuable, but having encouragement, support, and help from both teachers and other students at basically any time was transformative. It took this experience from being a class to being a community.

  • I'm more confident when teaching my daughter her surahs and my husband tells me my tajweed is alot better. I can also concentrate on my salah better when I'm trying to recite mindfully with proper tajweed. I really liked knowing the theory behind all the tajweed rules that most people commonly don't teach.
