2. The 33 lessons for every Muslim course was an excellent reminder for me and taught me a lot. It reminded me of what I forgot & cleared some misconceptions. It's a great introduction to the very basics of Islam. I recommend it to every Muslim. Perfect for the rusty or new Muslim.
Riyad Mayet

3. Algamdoelilah having reverted to Islam a few years ago I often found myself having to ask many people questions about the deen, sometimes feeling ashamed or embarrassed. I’m sure a lot of us can relate to this feeling.
_This course on the 33 lessons for every Muslim has empowered me, that I now find myself educating my Muslim and non-muslim friends alike. It has given me the confidence I needed to be able to fulfill my daily obligations with a much better understanding and with clearer vision as to what is expected of me as a Muslim.
This course encompasses the basic requirements for the foundation of a Muslims belief and worship. Our teacher, Sheikh Bilal Ismail’s manner in which the course is given is clear, concise, and simplified, making it easy for anyone to understand.
I highly recommend this course for those that are struggling with gaining closeness to Allah (swt), all Muslims, reverts and non-Muslims, as this is the perfect place to start!
Your Sister in Islam Samee’ah Charles

4. I spend most of my time working and the rest of the time raising 3 kids with my wife. The lessons learnt from this short course have been invaluable for my family and I.
For those like me going through the daily grind, I would recommend doing and repeating this course every so often as a refresher of the basics of our deen.
Muhammad Desai
