What Our Students Say
A selection of testimonials from students enrolled in our certificate program
If you’re looking for qualified and committed teachers who present a wide array of Islamic sciences and subjects in a clear and understandable manner, using modern teaching tools and techniques, all at an affordable price, then look no further than Rayyan Institute!
As an individual who lives in an area with a small Muslim community, whilst attending university on a full time basis, finding both the time and place to gain knowledge has been extremely challenging. Through Rayyan Institute’s pre-recorded format and easy to digest approach to learning, I have been able to overcome the restrictions in place that were preventing me from gaining the knowledge that was imperative for my Deen. For anyone who can’t make a full time study commitment but still wants to find the time to learn properly about Islam, Rayyan Institute is the solution that your looking for. It’s well rounded curriculum covers all the essentials of our faith with some of the best instructors around.
My experience with Rayyan Institute has been wonderful. This institute provides very comprehensive, authentic and valuable course content. It has been a pleasurable experience learning what I have so far, hope to continue and gain more knowledge online.
Alhamdulilah this website and course is a blessing from Allah. For those who want to cover the obligatory knowledge and are unable to learn directly from a scholar or just brush up on their knowledge it is amazing!! I have benefited so much and will continue to insha Allah. So many Muslims around the world can benefit as it is shockingly easy to access.
Having studied a few of the online courses with Rayyan Institute over the past few years, I would highly recommend the courses to anyone who has a zeal to learn more about the Deen but may find it hard to study in traditional settings due to other commitments and responsibilities. Studying with Rayyan allows you to choose a course of your choice and study it at your own pace. The platform that is used for the courses is of the highest quality that I have yet to come across with regards to online learning, it’s accessible, easy to use and user-friendly. The pre-recorded sessions allow you to watch, pause and play – and then rewind again if you’ve missed something!
I accepted Islam 10 years ago, Alhamdulillah, and was blessed with getting to study overseas full time for the last three years. After having to return to my country … I enrolled with Rayyan Institute to review what I had studied with my yeachers overseas and learn some books and courses which I did not have the opportunity to study. All the Ulama at Rayyan are superb and amazing to say the least, words cannot do justice in explaining them, and the courses are designed in an excellent manner. I would recommend this course for anyone who is just starting or has been treading the path of seeking knowledge.
I found Rayyan Institute by searching the web and I’m glad that I did! I’m a retired Police Officer from New Jersey and a grandfather. I really enjoy attending the online classes. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and informative. They present Islamic Knowledge clearly and in a way the modern western Muslim can practice and understand the Deen easily at his or her own pace.
Rayyan is a great blessing on this Ummah where we have authentic scholars teaching you authentic knowledge. The courses are also very flexible. Those people who have a busy life are also now not deprived from gaining knowledge!
