    I have two daughters who went to Maktab for their tajweed and tarbiyah lessons.
    My older daughter, Maria Mansoor, graduated from Maktab in 2022. She started her journey in 2019.
    Maria had an incredibly fulfilling journey at Maktab. She loved her wonderful teachers, and the lessons she learnt taught her to recite the Quran in a beautiful voice, with very good tajweed. Maria also learnt to be kinder, more respectful, and a better human being.
    I couldn’t be more thankful to the teachers and administration at Maktab, who have been like second mothers to my children and have taught them so well and so lovingly.

    Fahm Ul Qur’an

    An era where many young people are drifting away from Islam, my three children—Hana, Awad, and Aiza—have completed their Quranic studies at the Maktab. The youngest is in her final year. Despite the challenges of today’s world, they have cultivated a deep sense of love and reverence for Allah. Before embarking on any task, they reflect on the afterlife, align their actions with their faith, and strive to do everything for the sake of Allah.

    Maktab has been an enlightening,enriching and a very gratifying experience for Syed Zidane Basir and myself. He was with Maktab from 2020-2024. Maktab played a vital role in guiding and nurturing Syed Zidane Basir. Maktab’s values will always be part of our lives .

    I completed the 18 month online Fahm Ul Qur’an course followed by the Fahm Ul Qur’an Advance course conducted in affiliation with the Al Ilm Institute in Karachi, Pakistan. This Quran course was an enlightening and fulfilling journey and I must admit that it has been undoubtedly the most rewarding experience of my life. The knowledge I gained has not only improved my understanding of Islam but also inspired me to live according to its principles with more sincerity and mindfulness.

    I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their connection with the Quran, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience
