Student Experiences

The event was well organized and the instructors were all engaging and passionate about the subject Allahumma barik lahum, which has energized and encouraged me to continue my ilm journey!al, and the content was well-taught so it could be easily absorbed. Each of the shuyookh took their time to go though the various topics and gave an in depth analysis on different ahadith and its history. It’s definitely one of those events that make you feel closer to Allah, His Messenger ﷺ and the love of obtaining knowledge.

Maiza A., Canada

I had a great time and loved how the instructors were so open and made me have fun and laugh while learning. I loved that the curriculum was well-established and easy to manage and that the instructors kind of added their own personal experiences and learning to the material. The program itself also opened my eyes to so much knowledge that every Muslim should be exposed to and I am grateful for that. It is important that we know and understand where, why and how hadith were constructed because it is the words and actions of the prophet which help us be more like him and better Muslims.

Ahmad Sukhon

A perfect opportunity to get spiritual rejuvenation, every speaker stood out in their own uniqueness, but how Mufti Abdul Rahman emphasized on etiquettes of studying hadith and how special the students of knowledge are, hit home and made it feel very special!

Schaza Javed Rana

I am grateful Miftaah provided the opportunity for a basic introduction to Hadith. It is such a beautiful science and the more you study it, the more you realize that the words of the Prophet (PBUH) were preserved through a special, unparalleled system, and that in itself increases your certainty in the faith. Every Muslim should have this basic understanding of how the words of the best man to ever live reached us. We should learn about the scholars that preserved Hadith and the stringent process they applied to classify its authenticity. That is a blessing and the instructors at Miftaah did a great job of simplifying this complex science, thereby increasing our appreciation for our rich tradition.
