Program Overview

What our students say

One of the questions we should ask is: what are we inspired by God to do? Is it to seek endless inspiration as an end? The answer is reflected in the very word which describes knowledge: ‘ilm. When the last two letters are flipped, it gives you ‘amal: action. And what is the first step and foundation of any action? Knowledge.

Before Madina Institute, I was not confident in what I knew about Islam and I yearned for knowledge! Alhamdulillah going through this program has empowered me mentally and spiritually to continue this path and know myself.

At Madina, I finally got to ask the questions I was always scared to ask. The immeasurable knowledge I received at Madina Institute provided the clarity I was looking for.
