"Alhamdulillah, the best part of my day is when I am in madrasa at night. Even though I am a mother of six, working full time during the day, my motivation causes me to come to madrasa, to learn the words of Allah Ta’ala and His Beloved Prophet ﷺ by sitting in the blessed company of our amazing teachers." - Aisha Farina, Translator & Teacher (Leicester)

"In this time at the madrasah, I have had the opportunity to develop a good grasp of the Arabic language which has facilitated my learning of numerous Islāmic sciences taught at the academy. Moreover, it has been the means for me to be in regular contact with and the company of many ʿulamāʾ whose wisdom and whose imparting of scholarly, Islāmic tradition has been invaluable. As a part-time course, it has allowed for me to pursue religious and secular education simultaneously and therefore acquire the best of both worlds." - Husain Bhana, University Student (Leicester)
