“I think this Arabic 1A is great for anyone who wants to start learning Arabic and have a strong base. I loved the program and it taught me a lot.”

zehra w., ON 6/21/23

“I started my journey to learn Arabic many years ago but was not able to cross the intermediate level despite of many attempts, until I joined Fawakih a couple of years ago. I found the curriculum very effective in breaking down the complex concepts. The teachers are engaging, knowledgeable and encouraging. The program helped me cross the barrier to learn Arabic in a way that made understanding Quran possible, Alhamdulillah! I am so confident in my skills that I have started teaching level 1 to a group of sisters in my local masjid who are finding it very beneficial.
I also want to mention that in addition to my weekly classes, I benefited a lot from the teaching style of Ustadha Summaiyah. Her detailed explanations and text analysis helps me immensely.”

“Excellent program. Very good curriculum.”

seham mubarez, ON 6/18/23

“I found it pretty easy learning Arabic this way. This program is great for students who are wanting to learn more.”

anonymous, ON 6/18/23

“I have never heard of Fawakih before, but as we moved through the book I was surprised to see its pretty competitive with other classic beginner Arabic books. I appreciate the effort at the end of the lessons to expose us with Islamic literature, duaat, and ahadith analysis.”

anonymous, ON 6/17/23

“Really fantastic program. I doubt that there is a remote Arabic program out there that is better than the Fawakih program. By the grace of Allah SWT, this program has tremendously improved my interaction with the Quran: fahm, hifdh, and tadabbur. That was the goal and that remains the goal. Love the self paced option.”

mazen mohamed, ON 6/17/23

“It was amazing.”

akmal sarwar, ON 6/17/23

“Excellent Arabic learning program. It is one of the best programs. I like how well it is methodical and organized.”

desırae, ON 6/15/23

“The course is great. Ma shaa Allaah. If you dedicate your time appropriately and make understanding the Qur'an a priority, this course will exceed your expectations and lead you to understanding you may not have ever expected from yourself bi'idhnillaah. I am a native English speaker and a revert to Islam of three years, and I never thought I would understand this much. Alhamdulillaah may Allaah reward those who teach and share knowledge of Arabic and Qur'an and bless all seekers on their journey.”

Anonymous, ON 6/10/23

“Wonderful course and instructor. Ustadh Fahd has the utmost concern for each student’s success.”

AMALY, ON 6/07/23

“Alhamdulillah Fawakih has helped me so much! I feel so much more confident opening up the Qur'an and making meaning from it now.”

MALIK K., ON 6/07/23

“With every semester that passes I'm loving Fawakih more and more. I'm actually fearful for the day that I finish the curriculum (inshaAllah), because I'm not sure how to navigate this lifelong Arabic journey with anyone else!”

TITILAYO M., ON 6/05/23

“This class was really challenging because of personal challenges, family, medical and health. There is just not enough time it seems to prepare, work, live. But when it's all said and done, I feel like I'm still worshipping Allah, getting closer to my Lord, developing a sincere faith and really learning about Allah. I am more vocal about this beautiful way of life and I try to help others understand their purpose in this life. I would have never had such a conversation before Fawakih.”

ZAHRA M, ON 6/04/23

“The program is very well organized, and the teachers are very adept! I hope to continue learning from them!”

ANONYMOUS, ON 6/03/23

“I love the Fawakih curriculum. I am enjoying it, being challenged by it, but also not overwhelmed by it. It is a great pace and a good setup for those who have jobs and families.”

NEHAL M. S., ON 6/01/23

“Books, class recordings, answer keys, and on top of that, the prompt help of coach Ustadh Fahd Yasin is wonderful. It all is greatly assisting me in reviewing the Level 1 & 2 materials prior to starting level 3A on June 4, 2023 inShaAllah.”

JUNAID H., ON 6/01/23

“It’s amazing.”

“I am very pleased with my learning although it is a struggle for me as I find it harder as time goes by. I am very pleased with our instructor. Alhamdulillah, he is excellent!!!”

anonymous, ON 5/29/23

“I've had a number of starts and stops in my journey to learn Qur'anic Arabic since taking my first Fawakih class in 2018, but I've always found the entire Fawakih staff to be so encouraging and so clearly dedicated to supplying us with the tools to help unlock the Qur'an wherever we may be in life. Allah continuously allows me to return, dive back in, and continue moving forward on this journey towards Him, and I could not do it with a better or more supportive team of His servants, Alhamdulillah.”

Asmaa d., ON 5/29/23

“It feels amazing to have completed 2 years of Qur'anic Arabic with Fawakih. The teachers and curriculum are fantastic, as are my fellow students. What a joy it is to learn in such a respectful, mutually encouraging environment. JazakAllahu khairan.”

“This is the most accessible and professional service of its kind that I have seen so far.”

madıha shauka, ON 5/25/23

“The course was so intelligently structured. Progression from one concept to the other made so much sense. Really appreciated the sporadic philosophy of the Quranic Arabic language included in the lessons ("did you know" sections) and the Arabic proverbs, at the beginning of the lessons. For me this was the best Quranic Arabic and Arabic language course I have taken as yet (previous experience at US universities and traditional platforms). Ustadh Fahd was so prompt and thorough in answering queries and suggesting additional resources; Fawakih Support was also really helpful.”

azfar uddin, ON 5/23/23

“It’s feels great to get closer to the Quran as a result of this course.”

salahuddın, ON 5/18/23

“This has been an amazing journey that I recommend all to take, if you want to be able to read the Qur'an for yourself (in the original language! I am 72 years old and I am happy to be back in school. Fawakih is an excellent way to start your journey! I keep telling folk to stay the course, no matter what. In shot I say stay on the bus!!! If we do that we will surely get it!”

anonymous, ON 5/18/23

“I love Fawakih. From my experience, it's the best program out there for English speaking students. Level 4 was challenging. I would prefer more time given to level 4 in just practicing weak verbs. My mind spins when I think of weak verbs. Sometimes, I just memorize what's in the lesson and then forget it. That's my main issue. Once I take that lesson's quiz or the final, I feel like I forget most. I can recall some of the information but not all. That's bothers me. Perhaps I need to spend more time to study? This semester, for 4B, my schedule was hectic and I couldn't devote that time that I usually do.”

masuma vırjı, ON 5/17/23

“Love it!”

nehal shah, on 5/4/23

ırfan murtuza, on 4/23/23

“Level 3 was a very rewarding experience, alhamdullillah. I was able to understand much more while reciting Quran and listening to Taraweeh prayers this recent Ramadan. I look forward to continuing to Level 4 and beyond with Fawakih, insha'Allah. Our class was extremely blessed to have Ustadha Sumaya Jeeva as our teacher, alhamdullilah. She is very knowledgeable, a strong communicator, and precise with both Arabic and English, while also supportive and enthusiastic. She was very generous with her time in promptly answering questions through the WhatsApp group in helpful detail.”

anonymous, on 4/16/23

“I’m enjoying the learning a lot, but it involves a lot of time to do well.”

errol pınto, on 4/16/23

“Excellent program with a great introduction to the language of the Quran. I'm especially pleased with how the program's vocabulary focuses on Quranic words and reinforces them through each level. I would have liked a slower introduction to the 10 forms and more study time with each form for better familiarization.”

anonymous, on 4/15/23

“Ustadha Sumaya is a great teacher. She is always very responsive to our questions even outside of class times.”

“The Fawakih program was truly very professional and effective with good materials and a great and accommodating instructor who went out of the way to help in any way possible. This included helping in areas even outside of exact material for the lesson!”

anonymous, on 4/10/23

“The Fawakih Program is very expansive. The teachers are very knowledgeable and dedicated. It is beneficial to be in the online classes for feedback, support and encouragement of the teachers and fellow students. I am enjoying the classes and have already gained so much understanding towards Quranic Arabic from Level 1A.”

Aısha morgan, ON 4/9/23

“I definitely see progress in recognizing language in the Quran because of my Fawakih courses. The amount of time I spend, and the amount of more time I could spend to learn more with deeper certainty, is a part time job in itself. I love the content of the audio recordings but I know so little of the vocabulary that the Arabic is way beyond my "zone of proximal development," and my frustration is very high with that portion of the lessons. What really works and keeps me going are the available recordings, the quizzes (except for the cut-off harikat), Ayesha Darab's teaching and concern for her students, the breadth of content in the binder lessons, and seeing my progress.”

Shazıa Malık, ON 4/9/23

“I loved the preparation videos (the instructor does an amazing job) that detailed every thing... instructors are amazing and provide details that help eliminate confusion...”

maheen ahmed, on 4/9/23

“I really appreciated 1A. It was really informative, and I feel like I know the basic fundamentals more. It was definitely fast paced and requires time outside of class to review the material, which was hard for me to do on a weekly basis, but I hope with 1B I will feel more confident in what I have learned in 1A.”

emmad usman, on 4/9/23

“Fawakih provides the most streamlined and direct curriculum for learning Quranic Arabic, and excellent teachers to support learning this curriculum.”

salma khan, on 4/9/23

“Overall, I was very impressed with the course material. The binders, flashcards, and online resources are all excellent and better than what you can get from a university. Clearly, Fawakih has developed expertise in the Arabic language development space.”

farıha sarij, on 4/9/23

“Alhamdullilah, I am learning alot more and faster than I expected to prior to starting the class.”

ahsen nadeem, on 4/9/23

dıana saıdy, on 4/9/23

“Fawakih is a great stepping stone to learning Arabic.”

novıa afdhıla, on 4/9/23

“Alhamdulillah, completing 1A before Ramadhan has been a great blessing this year for me. I understand Quran so much more than before and it helps me to connect with Quran during my personal recitation and to attain khusyu' during Tarawih. I am not going to lie, it was hard to learn new language, especially Arabic with its complexity, while working and being a parent, but Allah made it easy with a very patient and proactive teacher like Ustaadh Fahd Yasin who went above and beyond in supporting us, Masya Allah. May Allah reward him and the rest of Fawakih team!”

parısa, on 4/4/23

“I thought it was overall an amazing experience, alhamdulillah. The program is very well designed, focused, intuitive and most importantly effective, alhamdulillah. I've taken other intensive Arabic courses below and felt so lost and overwhelmed, but with the Fawakih curriculum, things just made sense from the beginning, and I loved that we applied what we learned to textual analysis from the very first day!”

qasım kerlew, on 4/3/23

“My grasp of the grammatical aspects of Arabic was shaky before I attended this class. The last time I learned Arabic, in honesty, was years ago. However, this course helped me refresh concepts I once knew and taught me so much more. Therefore, I recommend this class to people who want to learn this great language.”

Fatoumatta Sandeng Darboe, on 4/3/23

hesham atwa, on 3/26/23

“Great course! Learning something new with each class helps to increase your iman as you understand the Quran better. Increased my love for the Prophet (PBUH) and his family as you get to know more about his personality and traits.”

Reza Z., on 3/25/23

“Dr. Jahed was the best Arabic teacher I have had. I have had some type of Arabic training since 7th grade and Dr. Jahed is the best and most knowledgeable teacher I have had. The Fawakih book is excellent.”

chowdhury, on 3/25/23

“We have completed only half of 1A so it’s lil too early to say we are understanding Quran better now but there is no doubt that we will get to that point inshaAllah. The way this curriculum is designed it helps you to understand the Quranic Arabic better. We have just scratched the surface of it and by the progress of it we are all super motivated to continue this path and will try to complete the all 4 levels inshaAllah.”

“The clarity and depth of material is amazing. The patience of the instructors in explaining and addressing my queries is very motivating.”

ZEHRA WAMIQ, on 1/17/23

“I have been on the journey of learning Arabic for a long time. Up until I joined Fawakih, I was skeptical of the expectation of understanding Quran while reading or listening to it. However the curriculum offered by Fawakih helped me achieve the seemingly most difficult goal of understanding Quran in Arabic. The curriculum is simple and most effective among all the other instruction methods I tried. In little more than a year I have spent learning with Fawakih, I can understand more than 60% of Quran, Alhamdulillah without spending more than 2-3 hours a week. I am looking forward to continue with the program and spend more time and effort on my part to dive deeper in the ocean of Balagha, in sha Allah!”

Zachariya Khatib, on 1/11/23

“This program is great Alhamdulillah. When things click and you are able to feel-that outside of class listening to the Quran-there is a great feeling that comes within. The time commitment to actually understand and grasp it all is definitely a lot, but insha'Allah with patience and persistence, and an amazing instructor like Ustadhah Ayesha Darab you will get it done.”

anonymous, on 1/8/23

“The program is very good, it is structured in a way that brings out the significance and beauty of Quranic Arabic. My biggest takeaway is how much Quranic Arabic has influenced other languages. This course has been eye-opening, making me aware that a significant proportion of my South Asian language vocabulary originates in Quranic Arabic.”

anonymous, on 1/7/23

“Ustadh Ismail is an amazing and engaging teacher even though I completed the class via recordings.”

Fatima Adhi, on 1/2/23

anonymous, on 12/31/22

“I like that the curriculum really does build upon itself. It does take work as it gets more complicated, but when I re-listened to some of the previous lecture and re-read the lessons, did the writing exercises, and when I keep up with the Memrise app it begins to stick. I found myself understand more of the Quran when I listen to it, and understanding more and more of the all Arabic khutbah at my local masjid. I just needed to make sure I didn't let my perfectionism keep me from taking the quizzes and going forward.”

“Learning and memorizing all the rules of Arabic grammar and the vocabulary can be challenging, and there's no getting out of doing the work. However, in my experience, Fawakih really does their best to supply all the tools, materials and support needed to learn. This has been such a well organized course and it has been tremendously rewarding to understand a little bit more each time I read Qur'an.”

jenny s., on 12/26/22

“Fawakih is unique in the world of Arablic language schools in its singular focus on Quranic Arabic while simultaneously taking a global and comprehensive approach to understanding grammar and morphology for that purpose. The pace is sometimes brisk and the volume of material heavy; however, I cannot imagine not continuing this journey for the benefits I have gained.”

Fatima A., ON 9/18/22

"I work a full-time job which include 12-13 hr day/night shifts including at least two weekends a month. Fawakih's flexible curriculum allowed me to self-pace my learning and also review weekly sessions at my own pace when I had the time. The portability of learning Fawakih offers-- in the form of videos accessible on the go and Memrise to test yourself when you don't feel up to listening to classes/lectures but still want to keep learning-- is excellent. What kept me going despite feeling overwhelmed at the beginning was that at the end of each lesson there was direct learning of Quranic or relevant Hadith or dua which helped emphasize how much I can understand by utilizing what little I have learnt so far and therefore encourage me to keep going!"

Rabea B., ON 4/26/21

“I have tried other Quranic Arabic classes before, but none were as concise and clear as Fawakih. Fawakih helps tie together concepts using examples from the Quran, duas, and Hadith. Because we listen and recite the Quran on a daily basis, it is a lot easier to catch on to new concepts and vocabulary that are presented through Fawakih's curriculum.”

TITILAYO M., CALIFORNIA ON 4/18/21

“I started reading the Quran for Ramadan and i saw so many vocabulary words in al Baqarah and it was so joyful to be understanding full sentences. I honestly can't denote percentage wise how much I knew or how much I improved, but I can say that I am reading with much more understanding , not everything, but I feel like I understand the style of how the Quran is written and it feels really accessible to me. It doesn't feel like I'm just plowing through. I may not finish reading it this month, which I am capable of doing, but I'm taking time to translate and verify translations. JZK Ustadh Ismael!!!”

“I've again had a tremendous experience. I very much liked the fact that 1B focused on firming up core concepts -- sometimes in my past Arabic classes I've done well, but the new content comes on so quickly I don't feel I've really gotten a firm grasp on what came before.”

NAZIMA S., New York ON 4/16/21

“Ustadh Ishmael continues to be a very patient teacher. You can never ask him too many questions. He takes time out to explain until you understand. Also I love the Duahs in this level. I have already memorize a few and have been including them after my prayers.”

OWAIS K., New Jersey ON 4/15/21

“Fawakih is an excellent program and will yield the results you want. However, you must put the work into studying.”

USAMA M., TEXAS ON 4/14/21

“I've really enjoyed the program so far because I've been able to tangibly see not only how the language is learned but how it when taught in such a foundational and connected manner as Fawakih teaches it, that it is not as intimidating or feels like an overwhelming amount of items which we have to memorize, but something we learn gradually, building upon one after the other, and understanding the deeper connection with both the language and its use in tradition and sacred scriptures.”

HAMZA S., ONTARIO ON 4/14/21

“I've been studying Islamic sciences locally and plan to study abroad as well. Throughout my studies, being non-Arab speaking, it would make it very difficult to get a deeper understanding of various subjects like Aqeedah, tafsir, fiqh, etc. Not having a deeper understanding also affected my relationship with Allah, as in "how else can I get closer to Him?" I always knew that I had to learn Arabic to get across this hurdle but I could not find anything local, and online abroad I couldn't get myself to trust. Fawakih answered that calling. This is an organization that not only understands how to teach, but also what Muslims in North America face. The course structure is broken down so that you are challenged but not overwhelmed. Reminds me of how they teach in the Prophet's Mosque (Madinah). The teachers are ready and want to answer your smartest and dumbest questions, and always bring a sense of comfort with learning something new. After just a few weeks, my interaction with the Quran and other Islamic texts completely changed. Alhamdulillah. And I can't wait to get to Level 6 inshaAllah.”

Michelle I., MICHIGAN ON 4/13/21

“I never really had a relationship with the Quran until I started learning Quranic Arabic with Fawakih. I could read the Quran but I could understand nothing of what I was "reading." After I graduated college, I felt like something was missing in my life. I started looking for programs and independent teachers to help me read/understand the Quran, but nothing was working for me. This was mostly due to my feelings of embarassment and inadequacy regarding my age and how little I knew - ultimately my ego was getting in the way. I had heard of Fawakih for many years but thought it was only for "serious" students, whatever that meant. As time went on, I became more and more disappointed with my distance from the Quran. One day, years later I saw on Instagram that Fawakih was having a Black Friday discount and by the grace of God, I felt compelled to sign up. I am so grateful He sent me that sign. I can't believe how much Arabic I have learned in just the past few months, and I am so excited to see where my education with Fawakih takes me next semester and beyond! Ustadh Nihal and the rest of the Fawakih instructors and support team break down vocabulary, grammar, and morphology concepts into easy to understand lessons and homework activities. They are all so knowledgeable about the Arabic language and have such a passion for what they do and share it so freely with students. I felt motivated by Ustadh Nihal and the rest of the instructors and support team to study and use my time wisely. Learning feels natural with Fawakih, and as someone who had a lot of apprehension at the beginning of the semester about my ability to keep up with lessons and stay motivated, I can honestly say that Fawakih has truly opened the Quran for me and made me excited to read and connect with it. I am not the same person I was when I started this course in January, subhanAllah!”

Rayyaan U., MINNESOTA ON 4/12/21

“Fawakih has been instrumental in my understanding of the Quran. I believe this experience is one of the few that incorporated both Arabic learning and contextual understanding of the text.”

Aisha S., ILLINOIS ON 4/12/21

“I just love Ustadh Ismail, as a person and as a teacher. I don't have anything but good to say. The program isn't difficult. Arabic has been intimidating because it was never taught well. Alhamdulillah, your teaching is very effective. Coupled with teachers whose hearts are on the path of purity makes a huge difference. Arabic at Fawakih isn't taught as just a language, rather it is taught as a sacred and spiritual journey into the heart of the Quran. Jazakallah Khair!”

FADEL M., TEXAS ON 4/12/21

“Another great experience at Fawakih. Really enjoyed having Ustadh Ismail again. He is so knowledgeable mashAllah and has great adab with all the students. This semester was more challenging than the first semester because of all the homework, e.g. listening exercises, quran verses, Ibrahim story and translation exercises. It was kind of a shock compared to level 1A, which had much less homework comparatively. I think that was the most difficult part in adjusting between the semesters in terms of setting aside time to complete the course-work prior to class.”

“I loved this experience, it was super fast paced but really fun! You have this aha moment quite often when you begin to understand phrases in the Quran, and that feeling is pretty spectacular! I would recommend that you review your materials daily to stay on top of learning a new language. Practice, practice, practice.”

ANONYMOUS, NEW YORK ON 1/13/21

“I am honestly really enjoying this program and really happy to be doing this. It really is taking me where I want to go in terms of my Arabic education. For the first time since college I am actually thinking about what an academic study of Arabic could look like for me especially in regards to accessing primary texts. I feel like I have fallen in love with learning Arabic again.”

TITILAYO M., CALIFORNIA ON 1/13/21

“I entered this class with much apprehension because of my age and limited knowledge; however Ustadh Ismail assured us that we were in a safe space and those three words opened my heart and made me feel very comfortable, so this class became a priority in my life. If I am successful, it is because of the teacher and the program. I am comprehending more of The Quran.”

RABEA B., North CAROLINA ON 1/12/21

“Alhumdulillah, I loved Fawakih. I have taken arabic with other institutes before, and I felt they have come up very short compared to Fawakih. Somehow, the learning with Fawakih seems easy; it feels like you are absorbing the material more than rigorous learning. That is the genius of the Fawakih course, they have embedded the knowledge in knowledge that you already have and made it easily digestible in short-moderate length lessons.”

AMINA B., ILLINOIS ON 1/12/21

“After just one semester I feel like I understand the Quran much better and I am able to memorize Quran faster, alhamdulilah!”

BADER A., KENTUCKY ON 1/12/21

“I have already recommended Fawakih to numerous family and friends before approaching the end of this semester. There is no longer an excuse of being "too busy" to learn Fus-ha. Fawakih introduces topics gradually and slowly. Fawakih is also structured to give students guidance as to what they will be learning, but is fluid where you can take extra time if you're struggling with a topic or fell behind. The only factor preventing me from continuing my journey to understanding the Quran is myself and how motivated I am to learn. I plan on continuing with Fawakih as I begin medical school in the summer inshAllah.”

ABDULLAH O., GEORGIA ON 1/12/21

“I have always had trouble understanding Arabic. I've tried other programs before and I can honestly say this is the most comprehensive course I have tried. I will definitely continue on InshAllah!”

HAFSA A., MARYLAND ON 1/11/21

“There are times when I look back and think how little I could understand while reading the Qur'an. It gives me delight and happiness now that I can follow it much better. I am grateful to Allah SWT to be able to continue my journey with Fawakih.”

AMINA A., CALIFORNIA ON 1/11/21

“The program is exactly what I am looking for - doable, learnable, excellent, knowledgeable teachers. I really liked my teacher.”

SALAHUDDIN M., NORTH CAROLINA ON 1/11/21

“I enjoy the classes. The teacher makes the information come alive.”

ABU K., MARYLAND ON 1/10/21

“This is the MOST important endeavor I have undertaken in my life that will enable me to understand Qur'an.”

AISHA S., ILLINOIS ON 1/10/21

“Fawakih was the answer to my dream of understanding the Qur'an and speaking Arabic. Everything was beautifully laid out and my instructor had the best adab. Never did he make me (or any of us) feel silly or stupid no matter the question. He was respectful and engaging at all times. This really mattered. His heart was in teaching and making sure we understood the material. The adab of our instructor had a huge emphasis on and in class. May Allah SWT reward him and give him Jannat Al-Firdous.”

ANONYMOUS ON 1/10/21

“MashaAllah, this is a well organized course.”

ZARA A., PUERTO RICO ON 1/10/21

“Fawakih really is amazing. They have really helped me improve my understanding of the Quran.”

RIZWAN K., NEW YORK ON 1/9/21

“Excellent.”

SHANI A., ILLINOIS ON 1/9/21

“Best program I’ve seen to date mA!”

ANONYMOUS ON 1/9/21

“The opportunity to study Arabic with Fawakih has been very beneficial. The binders provided and classes taught are well organized and effective.”

RAY L., MICHIGAN ON 1/9/21

“This Fawakih course has been excellent. Some of it was review for me, but the weekly sessions with the instructor tied things together in a way they hadn't been in the past. Beautifully designed and run!”

AREAG O., TORONTO ON 1/7/21

“Enrolling in Fawakih and completing the first semester has helped me gain confidence that with time, hard work and du'a, Insha'Allah, my dream of being able to read and understand Arabic fluently is possible and achievable.”

NAASHIA M., NEW ZEALAND ON 1/7/21

“I have enormously enjoyed my first semester of the Fawakih Quranic Arabic journey. Even though it requires a lot of work, I feel like I have learned a lot already. When I now read the Quran, I find myself actively trying to analyse the text, trying to decipher the meaning and grammatical functions in it. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment and I cannot wait to continue on this path, so that I am one day able to understand the Quran easily, insha Allah.”

MOHAMMAD R. B., NEW YORK ON 1/7/21

“Fun times. Alhamdulillah.”

AAMIR R., VIRGINIA ON 1/6/21

“Learning a second language as an adult with other things on your mind is just plain tough. It takes dedication and perseverance. However, the framework in Fawakih is there if you commit the time.”

MEGAN S, PENNSYLVANIA ON 1/6/21

“Excellent experience so far. Overall I found the binder and materials to be organized and well-designed for student learning. The teachers are excellent. The administration and staff (such as Muge & @coach & @info) are great in their prompt and helpful email replies. Through the consistent work with listening clips I believe my listening skills have improved, and certainly my reading & comprehension skills have, too. The course requires a lot of work and dedication, but the rewards are evident even in the beginning level. Thank you all!!”

JENNY S., KENTUCKY ON 1/6/21

“The Fawakih Journey has been extremely rewarding. Level 1A introduces many concepts and Level 1B is where they come together. I am excited to continue this journey.”

HASEEB S., VIRGINIA ON 1/6/21

“This was overall a great experience and I would recommend this program to anyone who can afford it, and wants to divine into learning Arabic, but do not have the time to commit a lot of time. It is very manageable.”

FADEEL M., TEXAS ON 1/5/21

“Amazing experience. I was so surprised how much I learned in such a short amount of time. And with immediate practical application with reading the Qur'an and understanding what I'm reading. Loved how the text readings were so pertinent to the suras and duas we recite on a daily basis.”

ANONYMOUS ON 1/4/21

“I have been contemplating taking a Quranic Arabic class for the past 20 years, always struggling to find time and resources to do so. And also finding it difficult to pick which resource to use. Fawakih was recommended by a dear friend, and he was absolutely correct. The teachers, material, organization cannot be commended enough. Clearly one sees constant progression and growth with each class. Ustadh Ismail, may Allah bless him, was phenomenal, patient and always wanting to teach and help us understand.”

MALIK K., VIRGINIA ON 1/4/21

“Top-notch teaching, communication, and knowledge of the Arabic language have me wishing Fawakih was around when I wanted to learn the language growing up. The cherry on top was Fawakih's ability to foster a safe and welcoming learning environment for all, despite students of varying backgrounds joining class from around the globe (literally). By the end of it, we felt like a tight-knit community.”

AMALY A., VIRGINIA ON 1/4/21

“This class really showed me how much I can achieve and improve in such a short amount of time. Learning to understand the Qur'an felt like an impossible dream, but I'm realizing now that I am capable of learning so much more if I only devote the time. I'm thankful for this class and all of the people behind it for their help!”

RAHEEL H., MARYLAND ON 1/4/21

“Level 1A increased my passion for reading the Quran slowly with understanding.”

ANEESAH R., VIRGINIA ON 1/4/21

“The program was engaging and really reinforced the topics using different methods. I am excited to begin the next level and continue my journey in understanding the Quran better.”

NAZIMA S., NEW YORK ON 1/4/21

“Our teacher is very patient and knowledgeable. He made learning fun. I am amazed how the pieces of learning the Quran is coming together.”

RAAHIMA S., CALIFORNIA ON 1/3/21

“This program is amazing and it is very well executed and designed in a way which is simple, easy, and convenient for working parents or full time students like my mom and I.”

ANONYMOUS ON 1/3/21

“Great program.”

FARAH S., TEXAS ON 1/3/21

“Truly enjoying the learning.”

ANONYMOUS ON 1/3/21

“Extensive curriculum and well-organised binders are helpful for a systematic learning experience.”

HESHAM A., NEW YORK ON 1/3/21

“Great course trying to improve myself. I chose this over getting an MBA or Airplane Flying Lessons.”

OWAIS K., NEW JERSEY ON 1/1/21

“Having tried a couple of online Quranic Arabic courses before, I was skeptical about the impact of the Fawakih program. I was surprised how well the inverted learning model worked and how the weekly, interactive live lessons solidified the concepts. The program is well structured and builds concepts gradually. I share my snippets of my learning with my family, allowing me to bond over yet another thing.”

2020 Student Reviews

JEWEL L., NEW YORK ON 12/28/20

“It has changed my hope in understanding the Qur'an and has meant a great deal.”

Putri S. K., MALAYSIA ON 12/28/20

“I think the pace of your program is just right, I don't believe in intensive courses for Arabic, at the same time not to be too slow that you will lose the attention of the students. So Fawakih for me is the right pace and the syllabus is very well structured.”

ANONYMOUS ON 12/27/20

“FAWAKIH is a fantastic program, praise is for Allah and so far seems the best program for training in QUR'ANIC Arabic versus MSA or speaking, which is most programs.”

LUQMAN M., PENNSYLVANIA ON 12/15/20

“I found this experience very enjoyable. Completing Level 1 gave me a great feeling of accomplishment as well as inspiration to review and go further. Although I was not in a live class, the instructor's respect and patience for the students came across in the recorded sessions. May Allah continue to bless the teachers, students and all associated with the program. Ameen!”

ADAM D., VIRGINIA ON 12/13/20

“Amazing curriculum, perfect for native english speakers who want to learn arabic.”

NATHAN W., MASSACHUSETTS ON 12/10/20

“Overall, I was very satisfied with the program. The lessons are nicely paced, and the information is provided in a clear and concise way, making each lesson very easy to understand.”

ANONYMOUS ON 11/15/20

“Very enriching.”

ANONYMOUS ON 11/15/20

“It has been enriching and helped in the enhancement of understanding the Arabic language.”

Myint Huzaifah M. ON 11/10/20

“This has been an amazing learning experience. Since it is self-paced I could learn at my own leisure and hence it is very helpful.”

MAHEEN M., PAKISTAN ON 11/03/20

“Truly wonderful and transformative experience. Makes engagement with Arabic texts seem easy..”

ABDULAHI MOHAMED G., VIRGINIA ON 10/04/20

“Very happy alhamdulillah.”

ABDUSELAM A., MINNESOTA ON 10/05/20

“For me it is an original and creative approach. Not over burdening with rules and achieving multiple goals like learning your din, correcting pronunciation and meanings of duas & Qur'anic ayat. One lesson at a time that built upon each other.”

WERONIKA S., VIRGINIA ON 10/04/20

“The first semester was challenging and fast paced. I could see myself improving week after week. What I liked the most was how our teacher would empower us by showing us the tools to analyse the Arabic texts.”

AFREEN A., CALIFORNIA ON 10/04/20

“Very helpful in understanding the Quran.”

Salahuddin M., NORTH CAROLINA ON 10/03/20

“I really appreciate the way Fawakih have the courses structured. I believe that if a student is serious they will learn and become efficient in the language. Most important is that they will be able to read Qur'an in Arabic and know what is being said. Or they may hear the Qur'an being recited and know what is being said. Fawakih is on the move!”

TAHA S., VIRGINIA ON 9/25/20

“Fawakih is great. I have nothing negative to say. The teachers are very dedicated to their job. The resources are amazing.”

FaWAD S., FLORIDA ON 9/23/20

“Best course for learning arabic in my experience Masha Allah Ta'ala.”

HAFSAH A. ON 9/20/20

“If anyone is interested in understanding the meaning of the Qur'an then "Fawakih" is the one he/she needs to join.”

OMRAN C., KANSAS ON 9/19/20

“My journey with Fawakih has been a fruitful one. I hopped onto this train because I was bothered by the fact that I can read the Quran fluently, understand bits and pieces of it but not really understand what my Creator is saying to me. After the first course, I felt that Fawakih's curriculum is the right one to help me address exactly that in an organized fashion. I found each lesson to be a balance between vocabulary, grammar, morphology, and text analysis. A few lessons in and reading the Quran started to make a difference. I started understanding short sentences and phrases, who is addressing whom, and in some instances the exact meaning as well which I am sure will only improve as I continue on this path. The Fawakih team was very flexible with me due to other commitments and a busy schedule that I had which made it easier for me to complete the course at my own pace. I loved the flexibility and the email guidance from the staff whenever I needed it.

Having said that, the challenge is real and it is not a cakewalk but the teachers are well-qualified and the guidance is available for anyone who is willing to put in a small amount of time and effort towards this beautiful journey every week.”

JESSE R., ARIZONA ON 9/18/20

“As a busy self paced student, I got off to a good start but fell behind when things got busy. I was almost at the point of just dropping out because I thought I was too far behind. I started clicking off lessons every couple days and it actually worked to my benefit. It kept the material fresh in my mind and helped me build off the prior lessons. I finished the semester strong and had many "aha!" moments where things really began to click. It has been such a blessing to have my eyes opened to what I've been reading for years.” 

ZIAUDDIN S., MICHIGAN ON 9/17/20

“Great course. Friendly instructors and environment.”

JUNAID K., NEW YORK ON 9/16/20

“Good program for working professionals that have to juggle family responsibilities.”

SADIA R., ILLINOIS ON 9/16/20

“This has been a great course.”

SABERINA M., VIRGINIA ON 9/16/20

“I feel more confident in Arabic and appreciate the subtleties of the language more.”

AISHAH B., CALIFORNIA ON 9/16/20

“The Fawakih program is so organized and structured (especially the binder and homework) which makes it so much easier to learn. I need a structure and the way the binder is organized (the tabs, the clear formatting, lessons and ideas building upon each other), I can go back and forth to really understand concepts. I've taken other Arabic classes that lacks this structure and it makes it too hard to learn for those who struggle with language acquisition.”

ANGELA G., NORTH CAROLINA ON 9/16/20

“It was an excellent program.”

SAHRA MOHAMED A., OHIO ON 9/16/20

“I really enjoyed taking this course. I did not think I would see the benefits of the weekly classes this quickly. I try to understand the Quran while reading it and try to figure out the grammatical rules. I'm glad I listened to my friend for suggesting me to take this course and can't wait to take more Fawakih classes.”

TAUQIR A., MARYLAND ON 9/16/20

“I have always wanted to understand the Quran while in prayer. Now I feel more connected to the Quran. Although I can't understand most of it (yet), I get a gist of what I hear/read and am more attentive in prayer and when hearing the Quran.”

BUDDER S., GEORGIA ON 9/16/20

“Being born and raised in the West, I am used to multiple choice questions. The questions Fawakih uses are fantastic. They really test ones knowledge/understanding of the material.”

ZAINAB K., NEW YORK ON 9/16/20

“I am so glad I made the decision to join Fawakih! The style of the curriculum is very straightforward and clear, and the instructors were extremely helpful as well. I learned more Arabic in the span of three months than I did in my whole life Alhamdulillah! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone seeking to learn and master Arabic in a comprehensible manner. I have no regrets in choosing Fawakih to begin my Arabic journey, Alhamdulillah!”

MUHAMMAD HUMZA Q., KENTUCKY ON 9/16/20

“Fawakih provided the excellent instruction and structure that is needed to truly learn a language. Up until this point I had spent years on and off with various books trying to self-teach but this was simply not effective. I wish I had taken the leap and signed up for Fawakih so I could have now had multiple years under my belt. Everything from the course materials to the instruction by Dr. Dann was an example of true Ihsan. I would (and have been) recommending Fawakih to anyone who has an interest in learning Arabic!”

MD SHAMIUL F., ARIZONA ON 9/16/20

“Amazed how we can grow in the language of Quran.”

MUHAMMAD J., ILLINOIS ON 9/16/20

“I have been studying Arabic on and off for the last three years, this time upon the recommendation I took this step and joined Fawakih and I am glad I did it. I found Fawakih very professional. The course material is very logical and easy to follow. I am hoping to complete the program and get more connected with the book of Allah.”

RANIA S., FLORIDA ON 9/16/20

“I love Fawakih because it starts from the basics. The best part is they include an all around Quranic education, from vocabulary, to grammar, to even analyzing Hadith and Sunnah.”

ABDUL A., VIRGINIA ON 9/16/20

“I am very pleased with the fact that Fawakih program makes it possible to study the Arabic language at a pace which allows for my full time work.”

FURQAAN M. ON 9/16/20

“Fawakih is great.”

NORA Z., ILLINOIS ON 9/16/20

“Fawakih is amazing. I served as a Level 1 TA when I was doing my Master's degree. Since I forgot some of the knowledge, taking the Qur'anic Fawakih course has been huge blessing. The course "Qur'anic Arabic" is focused on Qur'anic Arabic and the examples are a lot. I really also appreciated how Ustadh Faizan gave us additional Qur'anic examples and explained grammar rules in an exciting way. My dream is to be an Arabic instructor and so learning how Ustadh teaches has been a huge benefit. I really love learning about the Qur'anic rhetoric and why Allah (SWT) chose certain words and so I look forward to continuing my journey, inshAllah!”

VANESSA M., GEORGIA ON 9/15/20

“I truly loved the challenge and feel as if it were well worth the effort, time and money.”

ANWAR Q., MARYLAND ON 9/15/20

“This is a very good and useful course. Worth taking and recommending. I have recommended to several people. My son has taken this course as well. He recommended me and I took and benefited from this.”

JEEBU F., VIRGINIA ON 9/15/20

“Very efficient information dissemination.”

AMINAH J., MICHIGAN ON 9/15/20

“Very professional, knowledgeable, organized, caring teacher who was punctual for every class.”

ASRAR K., CALIFORNIA ON 9/15/20

“I really enjoyed the program and want to continue.”

AAMIR H., CANADA ON 9/15/20

“Fawakih has done a great job with organizing classes and lessons in a way that teach all students a step by step of understanding the basic concepts of reading and understanding the Quran. The program is quite rigorous and does require a time commitment, which is only to be expected when studying another language. I believe that if you have the opportunity and are able to dedicate time to learning Arabic, Fawakih is a great place to learn.”

DAAIYAH S., GEORGIA ON 9/15/20

“Fawakih is an amazing program! I absolutely love the way the concepts and text read in the course further our understanding of Quran. I would highly recommend Fawakih to anyone who is serious about learning Quranic Arabic.”

SABENA I., CANADA ON 9/14/20

“Alhumdulillah this has been a great semester. Wonderful teacher, great classmates. I’ve definitely learned a lot. I find myself parsing sentences while reading Quran now. Alhumdulillah I feel like I am slowly understanding more which is very uplifting. Can’t wait to continue my Fawakih journey in’sha Allah.”

JENNY S., KENTUCKY ON 9/14/20

“Fawakih is a worthwhile program to learn Quran. The virtual format makes learning accessible from anywhere. A variety of learning modalities helps students grasp information.”

NAEMA A., VIRGINIA ON 9/14/20

“I had a great teacher whose passion for the Arabic language made the learning experience really engaging. I was also inspired by the engagement and participation of my peers especially given this class was fully remote. This class will definitely require personal commitment of time in order to fully benefit.”

MISBA S., CALIFORNIA ON 9/14/20

“My experience with the 1A Fawakih course has overall been very positive. Looking back on the past 12 weeks, I am surprised to see how much material we have covered in such a short time. The instruction has been excellent and the course flows very well lesson to lesson. I appreciate the course being grounded in Islamic terminology, Quran and Hadith. Better understanding and connecting to those primary sources are reasons why I decided to sign up with Fawakih. As a 1A student you will need to dedicate at least 3 hours per week to be successful in the course. If you can make that time investment, and you want to start on a journey to better understanding the Quran, then this course may be right for you.”

CHAFEEK T., ARIZONA ON 9/13/20

“The program is systematic and appropriately progressive.”

SAIRA A., FLORIDA ON 9/13/20

“This an amazing program. The teachers work hard and you can learn a lot in a very short amount of time.”

KYLE F., CALIFORNIA ON 9/12/20

“A truly effective way to learn Quranic Arabic!”

MEGAN S., PENNSYLVANIA ON 9/12/20

“The teacher was excellent. I have had a very positive experience. I have worked very hard, with approx. 15 hrs per week of studying and my work has paid off- I understand so much more than I did before. I was very impressed with Fawakih's curriculum: it is systemic and organized and clearly effective.”

ZEINAB A., CALIFORNIA ON 9/11/20

“I have been wanting to study Quranic Arabic for a long time as the next step on my journey for Islamic knowledge. I've taken multiple classes over the years with different organizations and institutions, but honestly I've always been disappointed by them - they always went too slowly or too quickly, or they were too disorganized and all over the place. I've only done one semester of Fawakih so far, and I think I've found the perfect program for me! It's very well organized, with well-structured lessons and materials, and teachers that are easily approachable. There's plenty of practice for each lesson and it goes at a pace that's quick enough for me but slow enough for me to make sure I actually remember what I learned. And I love that I'm able to skim ahead and see what we'll be learning in future classes - knowing what I'm working towards makes me a lot more focused and motivated! I would definitely recommend this to others!”

ANONYMOUS, CALIFORNIA ON 9/11/20

“I have found the Fawakih experience tremendously beneficial. The curriculum is excellent. Despite having taken previous Arabic courses, I feel for the first time that I have truly begun to understand important grammatical and structural concepts. I highly recommend that you begin or continue your Arabic journey with Fawakih.”

ABU K., MARYLAND ON 9/9/20

“The amazing thing happened to me is that I can now understand probably about 20% percent of what I'm reading in the Qur'an. Alhamdulillah.”

KAMILAH M., CALIFORNIA ON 9/7/20

“The program is excellent and convenient.”

SABA H., ARIZONA ON 9/12/20

“May Allah bless and reward the Fawakih team! This class has been an extremely amazing experience. I pray to continue on this journey so inshallah I can progress to understand the Quran without translation. Inshallah with this program for the first time I feel like this is actually a possible goal for me!”

SAMEE S., CALIFORNIA ON 9/7/20

“Fawakih has an amazing curriculum and even more amazing staff who are very knowledgeable, capable, and responsive and willing to help us with any issues with the technology or course material. The curriculum has a nice balance of grammar and morphology, and builds knowledge in a logical way. The content is presented in a relatively succinct manner, with lots of drills and exercises to supplement the understanding. The binders/textbooks are also well organized and well put together. I've had a great experience with the Level 3A course and with our Ustadh, and can't wait to continue with Level 4 and onward.”

TABRAIZ M., WISCONSIN ON 9/7/20

“When preparing for my exam, I came across a verse that I was able to translate without any help. It was slow and the words were familiar but the grammar made sense. Just surreal.”

SUSAN D., FLORIDA ON 9/6/20

“I had so many doubts when I started the course. Will I be able to keep up? Will I be able to understand most of what's being taught? Will I be able to retain the vocab? Will I survive? Alhamduillah we had an amazing teacher, he made it fun, he did everything in his power to help us understand when we were just not getting it. He was open for questions and always treated us as students eager to learn and who he so wants to hep them. Awesome experience, I pray that Allah (SWT) will allow me to continue. Ameen.”

AAMINA B., CALIFORNIA ON 9/5/20

“This program is exactly what I have been looking for for quite a while. Great teachers, great program. Very well put together and doable.”

NABEEL H., MASSACHUSETTS ON 9/3/20

“Overall, this was a great experience. I did not expect to pick up this much knowledge in such a short time and honestly did not see myself continuing past this semester, but Fawakih has been so effective teaching me and helping me gain confidence in myself as student of Quran that inshaAllah I plan to continue my journey onwards. Thank you all.”

ANONYMOUS, ON 8/25/20

“The quality of instruction, engagement of fellow students, and the quality of the materials is beyond the level of my expectations. I hadn’t initially planned to complete more than a level, but after such an enriching, beneficial experience, I hope to traverse all of the levels offered, in sha’ Allah.”

TASLIM S., VIRGINIA ON 8/17/20

“Alhumdulillah, this has been a very critical and a meaningful investment in my quest to learn and understand Quran sincerely and its entirety. I now feel connected more than ever to daily recitations, prayers and the messages and could not have had that sense of understanding without learning it the way it is being facilitated at Fawakih. It's a baby step on this immense undertaking - however a very sound and supportive team of Fawakih makes it much more attainable.”

MARWANE T., CONNECTICUT ON 6/22/20

“Very good class, it helped clarify the Arabic structure for me.”

EMMA R, VIRGINIA ON 6/21/20

“Taking Arabic class with Fawakih has been like unlocking the treasure troves of Quran. It is incredibly rewarding when you start to translate the verses on your own without looking at the translation. Simple use of preposition and how it impacts words and how a simple dhamma can change the meaning of the sentence was mind blowing for me when I initially started the course. Understanding Arabic also makes memorizing Quranic verses much easier. Alhamdulillah if one can stick it out, and just hang in there... It really does start to click really nicely at level 3!”

SALAHUDDIN M. , NEW YORK ON 6/4/20

“I believe the Fawakih program is a very good one, and I am enjoying it.”

MAHEEN M., PAKISTAN ON 6/2/20

“I have tried learning Arabic from a few other platforms, but I've found Fawakih to be the most engaging and well-paced one for learning Quranic Arabic.”

SURAYA A, AUSTRALIA ON 6/1/20

“Alhamdulillah my Fawakih journey is excellent. It is so amazing feeling when I read the Quran I finally understand parts of this noble book. Thank you all.”

ABDUL A., New Jersey ON 5/31/20

“I really like the fact that there is a lot of resources and time spent to enrich the vocabulary of the students in a gradual and effective way right from the start.”

ASAD C, WASHINGTON D.C. ON 5/31/20

“Fawakih is an excellent course to understand the Quran. It also does a wonderful job reviewing stories of the prophets, teaching the translation of salat and key duas.”

TAYYBA, WASHINGTON D.C. ON 5/31/20

“Fawakih is a manageable time commitment even for the busiest professional. The classes are easy to follow and not overwhelming in terms of material covered. I have greatly benefited from the program thus far.”

AZUREEN, MALAYSIA ON 5/29/20

“This program is a perfect one for those who have zero knowledge in Arabic as it will expose oneself step by step, with dedicated teachers, good and easy to understand notes.”

NUR ALIA BAKAR ON 5/28/20

“I'd like to thank you for allowing me to experience the journey. I liked the online quizzes (I wish there were more!) & extensive class discussion on the texts and their i'rab. This is a well organised course and I will recommend Fawakih to friends and family who want to study Arabic part-time.”

ANONYMOUS ON 5/27/20

“Really good program for everyone interested in understanding the Quran.”

HIBA M., IOWA ON 5/27/20

“For those who have explored Arabic with other institutions - Fawakih is truly a one stop shop. Not only have I demystified and fortified what I previously learned, but Fawakih has expanded my Arabic knowledge exponentially. And this is just by completing Level 1 self-paced so far! Pairing this class with Ramadan has been beautiful as I am applying everything I've learned directly to reading the Quran. I'm blown away by how simple the piece meal lessons are structured, and then reinforced through deliberate exercises. Honestly, I've struggled as a student of classical Arabic in the past. With Fawakih, my confidence has soared and my academic performance has even astonished me. All praise is due to Allah, and may He reward the Fawakih organization for the fruits they've shared with me.”

AZEEM R., UNITED KINGDOM ON 5/25/20

“Excellent.”

FAYZA, CANADA ON 5/21/20

“This course has opened another dimension of the Quran that I could only dream of being able to access previously.”

ZACH B., MASSACHUSETTS ON 5/19/20

“The Fawakih experience was sublime. Whether you are just in need of a refresher on the basics of Quranic Arabic or want to learn it for the first time, the courses are designed in such a way as to make learning easy and enjoyable. From succinct, no-fluff lessons designed to help students learn what they need to know quickly and efficiently to fascinating textual analysis of common Surahs and Du'a, Fawakih creates an environment where you can develop not only your knowledge but also your worship.”

ASADULLAH A., CALIFORNIA ON 5/19/20

KAMILAH M., ON 5/17/20

ZUNUBIA Q., ON 5/15/20

“Fawakih has helped me learn the language of the Quran effectively and efficiently. I had always dreamed of accomplishing this goal, and Fawakih made it easy for me.”

NAJIBA A., MASSACHUSETTS ON 5/14/20

“I was blown away by how much I was able to learn from the self study. I feel excited to move on to the next level. I thought Arabic was too hard to learn, but now I think it feels a lot more doable.”

ASENA, MALAYSIA ON 5/14/20

“The learning materials and curriculum enable me to progress my Arabic learning journey systematically, unlike other courses and many years of attending Arabic courses. The listening lessons allow me to apply the skills taught, which is not easy living in a non-Arabic speaking environment.”

OBAIDA A., CALIFORNIA ON 5/12/20

“I am absolutely loving the curriculum and am seeing an immediate impact and difference with my relationship with the quran and even in prayer.”

ABLA B., LONDON ON 5/11/20

“So far, it has been a very comprehensive and complete course. It is simple, not too overwealhming and bring the student step by step to the final exam. I cannot believe I have learned so much without even realizing it.”

SANAULLAH D., Connecticut ON 5/10/20

“I’ve used many methods of learning Arabic and I feel that Fawakih is by far the best. They follow a very methodical approach in teaching Quranic Arabic. I’ve improved tremendously my understanding of the Quran and also my reading and listening skills. I highly recommend this program for everyone interested in learn Arabic.”

YACINE D., Maryland ON 5/7/20

“I am amazed at my level of comprehension after just 2 levels.”

MUKHTAR C., Philadelphia ON 5/7/20

“Thus far, I am impressed.”

KHALID H., Chicago 5/6/20

“The Fawakih curriculum, class structure has made learning Arabic approachable. And the teachers' knowledge and attitude has been a blessing to keep me motivated and engaged. I can honestly say that it has impacted the way I read the Quran and give me more confidence and a closeness to the Words of Allah (swt).”

DEBORAH C., Philadelphia ON 5/6/20

“I wasn't able to participate in the live classes this semester due to an illness. Having each class available to listen to whenever I was able was a blessing. Staying connected to the Fawakih Community lifted my spirits, and my teacher’s responsiveness was ‘lighting fast.’ I for one am enjoying my Journey through the Quran with Fawakih.”

RIZWAN K., NEW YORK on 5/6/20

“It is awesome, easy, and convenient. The fact that it can be taken from the comfort of my home, without disruption to work and family time is great.”

Zakia H., Virginia on 5/6/20

“I have found learning Arabic through Fawakih to be intuitive, challenging yet rewarding, and overall a very rewarding experience. The course materials are excellent, incorporating Qur'anic ayahs and vocab everywhere. The pace of the class is perfect, with enough new material so that you are always learning new things, but not so much that it is overwhelming. I love the combination of Qur'an analysis, text analysis, theory, morphology etc. that make up each lesson.” 

Jaweed I., TENNESSEE ON 5/5/20

“Fawakih offers a quintessential Arabic curriculum to foster and cultivate students to procure the understanding of the Quran. What stands out is the community, you have like-minded teachers and students who pursue the program with passion and fervor.”

Michael J., VIRGINIA ON 5/5/20:

“The instructor is VERY good and I learned quite a bit of the "in betweens" of Qur'anic Arabic; the class pace was smooth for me since it took a moment to adjust to the FAWAKIH method. But, the METHOD helped me to settle in better with my existing knowledge base. I totally love the total Qur'anic approach, experience; it's EXACTLY what I want, need, iA. The stories are fine, and helpful, though. Thanks for everyone's effort, time, knowledge and du'at, iA.”

NIKIA B., CHICAGO ON 5/5/20:

“I signed up for my first Fawakih with the intention of just trying it out for the summer, with no real long term plan of study or commitment in mind. Almost two years later, I am still with the program with the firm intention of continuing until I've reached the last class offered. As a product of full-time Islamic schools in America, I have been privileged to study Arabic off and on my whole life. None of those opportunities focused specifically on Qur'anic Arabic, so unfortunately, my understanding of Qur'an has always been limited to a few words and phrases here and there, and the accompanying English translations. In just the two short years that I have been a part of the Fawakih family, I have been able to taste more of the fruit of the Qur'an than ever before. Now when I read, or even listen to Qur'an I can discern who is speaking to whom, the nature of what is being said, and even concepts or words Allah (swt) has emphasized and concepts or words that Allah (swt) has intentionally withheld. The more I learn, the more I want to learn, and alhamdulillah, I am blessed to be on that continuing journey with my Fawakih family.” 

FATIH K., COLORADO/TURKEY ON 5/3/20:

“Alhamdulillah, I have been very happy with the Fawakih curriculum.”

Tamanna A., BOSTON ON 5/3/20:

“Fawakih's course materials are incredibly well-organized and make for effective learning. Just with completing level 1, I can now read or listen to the Quran and understand the content and message - which I didn't think I would be able to grasp so quickly. The Memrise App has been an especially easy way to build my vocab bank.” 

Kamilah M., CALIFORNIA 5/2/20

“I have been searching for a program like this for a really long time. This is exactly what I was looking for.”

Obaida A., CALIFORNIA 5/1/20

“I want to hold out for a year [to give a more detailed account] as I feel like by then my testimonial would be the most accurate, but as of now this has been one of the best arabic programs I have done. I love the structure and content for the course thus far.”

Yousef A., CALIFORNIA 4/29/20

“In just a few weeks of joining, and completing Level 1A- I genuinely have learned so much. I have always struggled with conjugating verbs and understanding how to and this class does an amazing job of teaching that, amongst other things I did not even know existed. I tried other arabic classes and found them way harder to retain information than this class with the quizzes and constant stimulation (the memrise app is amazing as well). I immediately have been able to tell a difference when reading Quran; by being able to recognize and break down words for meanings, visibly noticing conjugated words, and understanding the point of view the verses are speaking in, and to, and about. I genuinely absolutely love the program and cannot wait to finish it.”

Marwane T., CONNECTICUT ON 4/28/20

“This course does a great job of breaking arabic down into the basic parts. From there it amazing how the quran can be clarified through grammar and morphology. Highly recommend for a clear way to learn arabic.”

Samsiah A., NEW YORK ON 2/5/20:

“Fawakih's program is very well structured, with hard copy material, online resources and live classes. The recordings are particularly useful for review and if we miss class. I love Dr Suheil's teaching method, very thorough and calm. He is economical with his words which make us (students) listen very carefully. Thank you so much Dr Suheil.” 

YASIR S., VIRGINIA ON 2/3/20:

“The Fawakih program is really well designed utilizing modern resources and tools to effectively and efficiently teach Quranic Arabic. Highly recommend if anyone is looking to learn Arabic that they consider Fawakih in their journey. I found the use of vocab app Memrise to the only testing and assessment tool very easy to work with and interesting. They played a huge role in actually grasping and understanding the content.” 

AZUREEN S., MALAYSIA ON 2/3/20:

“It’s the best arabic online course I have ever joined.” 

ZEDDY I., UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 1/31/20:

“Just completed Level 1A, and my understanding of Quranic Arabic is greatly enhanced. Now I can understand the specifics and subtleties of each word, and become more awed and thirsty to study the Book further. Looking forward to the next levels.”

SANAM S., MALAYSIA ON 1/30/20:

“I thought learning Arabic would be a daunting experience. I didn’t know where to begin or what questions to ask, but after attending a couple of classes with Dr.Suheil and attempting the quizzes, I felt confident that Fawakih was providing me a good foundation in Arabic. Initially some concepts were difficult to grasp, but the instructors were very helpful at conveying tips and reminder triggers to help me remember the words and the different rules.” 

ALI H., UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ON 1/30/20:

“Great content + great teacher + disciplined student = success. Fawakih gives you the first two, do yourself a favor and put in the third and you will be on your way to understanding the endless treasure that is the Quran.”

NADIA E., ARIZONA ON 1/30/20:

“As a native colloquial Arabic speaker I was searching for a program to help me better understand Quranic and Classical Arabic. I never had any formal Arabic education and felt like I couldn't understand The Quran as I should. This program helped me build upon my foundation by teaching me grammatical rules in the Arabic language, as well as understand some of the basic rules of the Arabic language. Now when I read from the Quran, I recognize some of the rules we learned and I am able to full verses. While I still have a ways to go, I would definitely recommend this program for native or non-native Arabic speakers if your goal is to learn Arabic grammar and vocabulary.”

ZAKIA H., VIRGINIA ON 1/29/20:

“Alhamdulillah, the Fawakih course is organized and presented in a manner that is very conducive to understanding and retaining the concepts. The new material is presented in a logical sequence with examples and practice exercises from the Qur'an, maximizing the potential for increasing understanding of the Qur'an. I am very happy with the course, intend to continue as far as I am able and would definitely recommend Fawakih to others.”

FRIEDA M., ARIZONA ON 1/29/20:

“This program was the best experience I've had learning the Arabic language. The presentation of the learning materials is outstanding. The curriculum is well developed in content as well as progression. The learning coach was always available, patient with my numerous questions and very knowledgeable regarding the course content. The administration should improve on the response time to inquiries.”

mohamed R., SINGAPORE ON 1/28/20:

“Fawakih has best teaching and supporting team.”

ISHARA A., Massachusetts ON 1/26/20:

“I liked how flexible the program was and how I was able to study at my own pace. I really hope that this program grows in the future and continues to strive for excellence.The lecturer shares his knowledge and experiences in relation to the lessons, making it more meaningful and interesting.”

HASEENA A., SINGAPORE ON 1/25/20:

MUNEER K., PENNSYLVANIA ON 1/19/20:

“I have been trying to learn Quranic Arabic for very long - this is the program that has helped me the most.”

Muhammad A., NEW JERSEY ON 1/19/20:

“Excellent course material and teachers. Whole curriculum is set in a great step wise gradual approach with Quranic vocabulary that makes learning this very sophisticated language very easy and fun. Its like science and more I am learning more interest I am developing going to next level...Amazing!”

ADHAM S., VIRGINIA ON 1/17/20:

“I really enjoyed my time learning. I think the real advantage is the accessibility of it all. When reading Quran I would notice the things I learned show up in the text, and it became a really cool thing to see and understand, especially as you learn more vocab and grammar. Would recommend to anyone really interested in understanding the Quran, especially from someone who had no idea beforehand.”

DEBORAH C., VIRGINIA ON 1/16/20:

“I was all tied in knots throughout the Course. I slowly am realizing, I certainly know more than when I began, so that makes me feel hopeful. I want to stay the course ,because Allah azza wa jal lead me to this journey (and indeed it is a journey) with Fawakih to understand His Glorious Book. This Course, for me, is a means of worship. For that I'm grateful.”

2019 Student Reviews

RAAHIMA S., VIRGINIA ON 6/13/19:

“I loved my studies with Fawakih because the program has teachers that are qualified and dedicated, management that is supportive and encouraging, and materials that are easy to use and understand. I especially loved how the program was a "2 in 1" deal , since not only were we taught Arabic, but we also learned Hadith, ayahs from the Qur'an, and lessons from the lives of the sahabah in the process. I would give it 5 stars and totally recommend it to anyone who wants to increase in knowledge!”

MEVA B., NEW ORLEANS ON 6/10/19:

“I'm extremely grateful for having the opportunity to take classes with Fawakih. Because of these courses, my ability to understand the Qur'an has improved so much and is steadily improving with each class I take. I feel confident that by the completion of this program I will be able to understand majority of what I read in the Qur'an inshaAllah”

ASAD C., VIRGINIA ON 6/7/19:

“I completed most of the first semester right before Ramadan. This was the first time I truly felt that I could begin to understand and benefit from listening to the Quran during taraweeh.”

SAMREEN K., VIRGINIA ON 6/8/19:

“Alhamdulillah Fawakih courses so far have been really helpful for making my connection with Quran stronger. I used to read Quran but didn't feel any connection or much joy reading it since I didn't understand much of it. However now when I read it, I enjoy it and know lot of grammar rules (may be my weakest point) , vocabulary, the haraka placement and why its there. I will recommend Fawakih courses to anybody who wants to learn Arabic language to further their connection with Quran Kareem.”

ALIA A., LONDON on 5/26/19:

“I think the teachers and resources are fantastic. I learnt another semitic language at university until intermediate level, and I can say that Fawakih meets very high standards. I love that the teachers are highly accessible on the whatsapp group. They give very thorough answers and are all very encouraging. Thank you for your service to the ummah. It's Ramadan and I'm making duaa for your continued success!”

Saulat P., VIRGINIA ON 5/19/2019:

“I really liked the systematic manner in which the course was organized, both in terms of topics per lesson and the flow in between as well as the quizzes and exam that forced me to review and refine my knowledge of the concepts. The latter definitely helped with retention!”

ArSALAN I., VIRGINIA ON 5/12/2019:

“Alhumdulillah, Fawakih's Level 1A class unlocked my path to finally beginning to understand Quran Arabic. Being an Urdu-speaker who only knew how to read and write Arabic, I appreciated how the combination of excellent live instructors, traditional materials, and modern technology all came together nicely to create an effective and flexible platform that allowed me to learn at a reasonable pace. I fully intend to continue my journey of learning with Fawakih and recommend this class to anyone.”

Azureen s., MALAYSIA On 5/12/2019:

“I have done few online arabic learning course and Alhamdulillah Fawakih is the best.”

RUTH M., VIRGINIA ON 5/11/2019:

“I have been studying Arabic on and off since 2015 from college courses and a study abroad program, but I always felt that I was lacking the basics, and the bases of the language. Unfortunately, at the university level my first arabic words learned were things like conflict, politics and war; with Fawakih I learned more beautiful words like God, mercy, and peace. I wish to have known Fawakih before; I felt that I could have achieved more proficiency in my Arabic language.”

Shazia L., Massachusetts on 5/5/2019:

“I love this class! It is taught in a highly organized manner with very knowledgeable and personable teachers.”

Alysha K., Illinois ON 5/4/2019:

“It's been so amazing to be reading my Quran and start recognizing words and being able to occasionally piece together sentences after only a couple of months. It's like I'm rediscovering the Quran every day and I can't wait to keep learning more.”
