Student Testimonials

“I liked that it was taught by a man and a woman, and I appreciated the amount of information shared. I learned the duties of a husband and wife. I also learned that the Prophet (SAW) had arguments in his marriage. [This class] gave me a better outlook on marriage and a wife's role in the marriage. I liked the instructors a lot. I thought they were very knowledgeable and open about taboo topics.”

Hadiyah

“I loved the instructors! I wish they were closer to where I lived so that I can come to them for advice :D They were really easy to understand and knew how to explain things in a way any person could understand. I learned how the husband will be asked on the Day of Judgement what they provided/did for their family. [This class] taught me that marriage in Islam is a lot more simple than what culture makes it out to be.”

Acele

“I really liked the open minds of the instructors. [There was] no taboo. I learned about the importance of counselling advised by the Prophet (saw). [The class] motivated me to work hard to be a future good husband.”

Nabil

“My favourite thing about this class was the instructors themselves. They spoke very clearly and explained each concept well, mashaAllah. I learned that there are different approaches to marriage in Islam, and a woman can directly ask someone for marriage. It made me more interested in finding out about the roles and responsibilities in marriage.”

Halima

“I learned a lot about marriage in Quran. Also, I learned some hadiths and verses in the Quran that are about marriage. The content hasn't changed my life yet, but it will be useful in the future! The instructors were great, too. Such a beneficial class.”

Sejjada

“The Q&A was so great! I learned some tips on how to improve my relationship. The course has made me want to stop pointing out my husband's mistakes or defaults and work on it. I really appreciate Ustadha Safiya since [Quranic's] 'Women's Rights in the Quran' series. Ustadh Mahad was also great.”
