From Irmia to Huzaifah: a new Muslim's story
Recently, I feel way more connected. My heart feels there in prayer. Before, I would say it in English, but it feels much better when it's read straight from the Quran. I usually talk to the other converts, and I recommended this class.
Huzaifah
It helped me a lot. I was trying to learn by myself and my Tajweed was off. I didn't know how to say certain words and vowels, or how to do merging and clarity. And I know what Qalqalah is now, the echoing. It definitely helped me.
Imtiaz
I'm benefiting a lot. I have a constant schedule, and the Quran is coming back into my life. I knew the rules, but now I'm incorporating them into the Quran. It took a while, but with your patience, alhamdulillah, I understand. I give you 10.
Dawood
The classes may be a little repetitive, but that is what makes them easier to understand. The more you do something over and over, the easier it becomes. I am able to understand the letters and all of the harakat more fluently.
Ameen
It helped me memorize the Quran and helped my pronunciation of the words. I also learned about the Aqidah and its sources.
Farhan
Asked to rate the classes from 0 to 10, his answer was: one septillion.
