    I have completed the Surah Al Fatihah online certificate course .My understanding about the surah has increased a lot. The course has helped me to develop a deeper connection with the Holy Quran. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to begin the study of the holy book of Allah.

    Fahm Ul Qur’an

    Being a part of Tameer has been an enriching, enjoyable and rewarding experience for me. It has given me the opportunity to be a student again which has been so gratifying.

    One thing I enjoy most is the depth of the program, how we develop into the intricacies of each word in every ayah and it amazes me how much I learn each time. After 5 years of studying we have reached ayah 48 of Surah Baqarah because of our profound approach. We are able to appreciate the Quran on a deeper level, one which makes our interaction with it more meaningful.

    Tameer has given me the gift of erudition and it has also helped me align Quranic teachings with my practice as a psychologist.

    Raila’s experience has been a vast and intellectual journey. I wanted to know what I was reading in Arabic in tafsir. The Quran was a great achievement for me, though I still feel I have a long way to go to learn as it was my very first time. It has helped me change the way I deal with people and be disciplined in all I do. The constant reminders from the Quran helped me change my perspective about life and people. It is not about how much you absorb mentally, but how much it has settled in your heart. I would highly recommend Huma Appa’s classes to everyone at Al-In for a better understanding towards Islam

    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

    This course was an incredible journey of spiritual growth, self-reflection and my deep connection with Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. Through this course I haven’t just learned the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala but also experienced their impact, support and comfort in my own life. The Quran is a true light and guidance.

    Some days were challenging in this course but that taught me patience and the importance of striving in the path of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. I felt that every verse, each verse is a personal message, a reminder for me, a source of comfort in difficult times, a friend in loneliness and my best companion and a source of peace. I pray that the Quran will continue to be our guide in shaping our actions, our characters and transformation of our heart and soul.
