I am amazed and thankful to Allah that despite the Alim Program being part-time, we have covered so much of the Arabic language and other literature that we can understand many verses of the Qur’an that we hear in salah. I feel that Allah allowed us to progress a lot in the little time that we gave as a result of the sincerity and seriousness of our teachers. They consistently gave us their valuable time to teach us and encouraged us to give as much of our free time as we could to learn. I would encourage anyone who wants to learn the Qur’an under proficient teachers alongside doing university and is willing to devote his energy to both studies to enroll in this program.

I am very thankful to Allah and feel honoured to be given the opportunity to study the knowledge of Deen under the tutelage of well-qualified teachers in an environment which fosters academic and spiritual excellence. Moreover, I have been given the opportunity to continue my journey in the path of ‘Ilm at the luxury of continuing to pursue my post-secondary studies. Our madrasah has been structured to accommodate those of us who want to pursue post-secondary studies. As such, I was able to complete my degree without compromising on my Islamic studies. I have benefitted academically and morally in the company of my esteemed teachers and fellow students.
The teachers at Al Khalil Academy always go above and beyond to accommodate student needs. The philosophy of the academy and the unique setup of its programs foster a supportive environment that encourages students to value productivity and strive for excellence. I am ever grateful to Allah (SWT) for the opportunity to attend Al Khalil Academy’s Alim Program as it has enhanced my life in ways I never thought were possible.

All praise is due to Allah, who allowed us to study the Arabic language such that we are now able to translate and comprehend verses of the Qur’an as well as Ahadith and Arabic literature; all this, over the course of a mere 2 years. It is truly a blessing to be studying under such dedicated, inspiring, and sincere teachers, who not only care about our academic growth but also our spiritual growth. Additionally, studying at Al-Khalil Academy allows me to continue my post-secondary studies without having to compromise with seeking sacred Islamic education. Studying at Al-Khalil Academy, under the guidance of our esteemed teachers has brought great benefit to me and I encourage anyone who wishes to build a connection with the Book of Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (SAW) to enroll.

Alhamdulillah, it is through the immense blessings and mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa taala that we were enabled to partake in such an incredible program despite our obvious shortcomings. I am amazed at the structure and rigour of the program, the dedication and concern of our beloved teachers, and the tarbiyyah that is given to us. It is amazing how despite the program being part-time, there is so much barakah that Allah places through the sincere intentions of the administration and teachers, that we were able to cover so much in relatively little time. I would highly encourage anyone who is interested in pursuing Islamic studies and to increase their affinity with Qur’an and ahadith through studying Arabic to enroll in this program. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’aala accept us all increase us in beneficial knowledge.

Alhamdulillah, with the Mercy of Allah alone, Al-Khalil has redefined the landscape of traditional Islamic learning by providing authentic knowledge at the hands of esteemed teachers. It is a rare chance to embrace a higher purpose. May Allah, the All Mighty, accept it and preserve it through His Mercy. Allahuma ameen.
