    Student

  • The teacher and the other students are so patient and encouraging. Alhamdililah amazing atmosphere to learn.

    Student

  • I love being connected with the Best Book in the World: The Quran. Because of the study of Tajweed I get to enjoy the beauty of the Quranic script and the jazaria adds rythem to it. Never had I seen or read the words of Almighty this way before the way I’m reading now. Alhamdulilah. Good job, Jannah Institute.

    Student

  • I love everything about my class at Jannah Institute, alhamdililah! I got the confidence to read Qur'an. I thought I could never read the Quran properly. It helped me to open my Quran every day with love.

    Student

  • It is very good for woman’s who wants to learn more about Quran recitation reading or memorizing in her free time since they have weekend and weekdays

    Student

  • The Islamic classes gave me an insight into what were the things in daily life I can and have to change to get closer to Allah.

    Student

  • The online and onsite classes with Dr. Haifaa were more than beneficial to me personally and I learned a lot over the 6 week course. I have since implemented all topics that applied to me, into my life and will continue to try and be the best muslim I can be to please Allah SWT and reach jannah.

    Student

  • The Tazkiya courses' benefit is evident in my daily life. Questions like these are now in my head: am I really telling the truth? What is my intention? How do I get have rid of these negative feelings? This course is allowing me Alhamdulila to dig deep down and really focus on introspection like I've never before.

    Student

  • Yes the class topics were beneficial and the impact it gave me is that I am a little more mindful with my actions and I remember the teachings I had with the Jannah Institute courses I’ve taken

    Student

  • Where do even begin to talk about the Footsepts of the Prophet (SAW) course. Who knew that following the Sunnah can be so easy to implement every day. What an enormity of opportunities of following the Sunnah I have missed in the past - just like something as simple as drinking in 3 sips instead of one gulp! I've learned that Sunnah is not just extra prayers, rather, it is being conscious in how I can make my everyday tasks mimic His (SAW).
