Testimonials

  The teachers are very grounded in their knowledge; their intentions feel very good; and their love for Allah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) and their deen, comes through in how they teach. This inspires me as a student, and gives me confidence in what I’m learning from them.

Qibla Amman Student from Saudi Arabia

  I’ve been to Tunisia and Pakistan, but this is the best I’ve experienced. I sold my car and quit my job to come here, but I’d do it 10 times over because the car is for this world, but this is for my deen.  

Farat Khalil
Qibla Amman Student from UK

  The Qibla courses are well planned, and it is possible for anyone to take them because recorded lessons make the course very flexible.

University Student, Oslo, Norway

  The excuse of not being able to acquire knowledge because of travel restrictions, family burden, age, lack of scholars in the locality etc, does not exist anymore...This was my very first online course. So naturally I was a little hesitant at the beginning during registration, did not know much what to expect. However, it exceeded all my expectations. I attempted to take similar course in masajids before, failed, but this one mashaAllah was excellent.

  May Allah reward the team at Qibla, I don't know what I would do without them. They certainly made traditional Islam more accessible to those who don't have access to traditional scholars.

  Qibla is easily accessible and fits my schedule. Coming from a city where such opportunities are rare, I appreciate the programme because it provides reliable traditional Islamic knowledge.

  What a blessing it has been to have found Qibla. For someone, like me, who lives in a relatively small Muslim community, it has been my bridge to Islamic learning...One of the Qibla's other strengths is that it gathers together a thoughtful and committed community of Muslims, as evidenced by my classmates insightful questions. I have recommended Qibla to almost everyone I know and insha'Allah will confidently continue to do so for years to come.

  The Qibla learning experience combines inspiring and knowledgeable teachers, passionate TA's, vibrant discussion, engaging live sessions, and thought provoking assignments in a way that makes you forget that Qibla is a distance learning community. Everyone cares so much about your learning and growth that you can't help feeling inspired to learn as much as you can, and to strive to put your knowledge into action. The most exciting of the year is when the new course catalog comes out. although it's so hard trying to decide which of the many exciting courses to take.

  I genuinely love taking courses with Qibla and especially look forward to the weekly live sessions (its rare that I miss one and if I do its always recorded so not a total loss insha'Allah). There is a wonderful collection of knowledgeable and kind teachers, of solid authenticity, and with each course a great group of students whose interaction in the live sessions and forums make the courses even more interesting and valuable, Alhamdulillah. I would honestly be lost without my Qibla time each week. I am somewhat isolated so the convenience of sitting in my living room to learn with trusted teachers is a big blessing, Alhamdulillah. It has also become a special time with my daughter each week because we sit together for the live sessions (and the house rule is that we don't answer the phone :)). And I should add that Qibla is also very giving and generous to students who might need a little financial assistance, masha Allah. I highly recommend Qibla to anyone who wants to learn more about our precious deen, whatever your interest may be, fiqh, Arabic, tasawwuf and you can always feel confident in who you are learning from at Qibla too, Alhamdulillah.

  I love Qibla!! MashaAllah its a wonderful resource for people like me who aren't able to drop everything and move overseas to study with scholars. I tell all of my friends and family that they need to take Qibla courses, because Qibla is the only place where you can get high quality reliable online classes about our deen, Arabic, etc.  

Rima Dabdoub

  I have a whole group of sisters in my locality who have started Qibla course last term because I recommended it.  

Samiya Rashid
Teacher, Luton, UK

  Qibla was recommended highly! AND I found it to be true.  

Anees Masood
Homemaker, Pittsford, USA

  I was searching for an opportunity to learn about Islam comprehensively for a longtime. As a single mother, it was difficult to find such opportunities. I took one course on Qibla one Summer to see how it is and have been taking courses since. I feel Qibla is a very professionally operated Online Academy that is serious and devoted to educating Muslims on Islam in depth and breadth.  

Fedwa Wazwaz
Programmer/Analyst and Community Activist, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

  My experience with these two courses was extremely positive both in terms of ease of access and the knowledge gained. The teachers demonstrated complete mastery of their subjects, the TAs were very helpful in providing links to additional related information from the Qibla database, and the methodology of listening to pre-recorded lessons followed by live question & answer sessions is a very effective learning methodology.  

Karen Haider

  As a student of knowledge with significant exposure to a wide array of Islamic learning methods in the West, I believe that Qibla has been unparalleled in its professionalism, academic qualifications, technological aptitude, and most importantly, relevance to the cultural context that characterizes the lives of the majority of Muslims in the West. As an online academic institution that is easily accessible, Qibla is fulfilling a critical need by bridging the gap between Muslim communities in the West and their classical legal heritage. By increasing and enriching the Islamic literacy of Muslims in the West, Qibla will undoubtedly prove to be essential in strengthening the vitality, competence, and unity of our communities for generations to come.  

Hadia Mubarak
Ex-President, Muslim Students Association

  I’ve found benefit in every single Qibla course that I have taken – and I’ve taken about 20 of them!  

Talib al-Habib
Nasheed Artist in the UK

  I have learnt so much [through] the online courses. Basic fiqh that we grew up learning and then tend to forget, we can now go back and refresh our knowledge. The lectures are so good and explain things in a logical and beautiful manner, they are also very inspirational and make you want to learn more.  

Rumana Saley

  Qibla fits many people's lifestyles. The flexibility of online learning added to excellent course offerings and dedicated teachers gives students the opportunity to benefit greatly from traditional knowledge, no matter their situation. I believe the quality of the courses to be excellent.  

Sakina Grome

  I have thoroughly enjoyed every course I have taken with Qibla and I really want others to benefit as well.

  This is a great way to obtain authentic knowledge from trained scholars without the need to travel abroad. Also one can go at a pace one is comfortable with.
