Student testimonials

“I enrolled in the Quran Tajweed course and am very happy with the way in which the course is being taught. The content is taught in a way which is suitable and appropriate for our ability. The course material is well written, the class structure is excellent and our teacher is exceptional. In fact our teacher makes a huge difference to the course. She is incredibly patient, encouraging and inspiring. If you are seeking to undertake a course that helps you to establish the correct way to read the Quran with an emphasis on establishing a Quran reading habit then this course is highly recommended. Finally our sister was incredibly generous in offering her time outside of class to give the students ample extra time to help with improving their recitation.”
“I enrolled in Quran academy not knowing what to expect. I knew I wanted to increase my connection with the Quran, the words of Allah swt. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to embark on this journey. May Allah swt reward the teachers and the wonderful group of ladies enrolled at Quran academy who are undertaking their own journeys for all they have taught me. I have not only learned a great deal about tajweed but I am also now applying the rules I’ve learned into my daily Quran reading Alhamdulillah. I am now awaiting details and confirmation regarding training to become one of the Quran academy teachers. May Allah make this journey easy for us all and enable me to teach what I have learned to others inshaAllah who are on their own journeys to increase their connection with the Quran.”
"Completing Tajweed Book 2 with ISRA has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As a non-Arabic speaker in my 50s, I want to encourage anyone who thinks it's too late to learn, it's never too late. If I can do it, anyone can.
It is honestly hard to put this journey into words. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. During my final recitation exam, I was in tears. I know this is only the beginning and that learning the Qur'an is a lifelong journey, but this course has brought me so much closer to the Holy Qur'an. Now, every time I pray, I pay attention to the pronunciation and meaning of what I am reciting. SubhanAllah.
My teacher was everything I could have hoped for, knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping every student succeed. She ensured every letter was pronounced correctly, encouraged us every step of the way, and made my Qur'an journey one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.
I am deeply grateful to ISRA for providing such an outstanding learning environment. I wholeheartedly recommend ISRA's Tajweed program to anyone who wants to strengthen their connection with the Qur'an. I have already recommended it to my children, and I will continue recommending it to everyone I know. I sincerely hope my experience inspires others to begin their own Qur'an journey. You will never regret it. I now look forward to starting Tajweed Book 3 this semester, in shaa Allah."
