As Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakatahu:

I don't usually write reviews for things, but I had to for this school. I want to first begin by saying I may not be the "idea" student. I am in my mid-30s, I have adult attention deficit disorder and I tend to have a hard time focusing. This is not an excuse, but merely an explanation. I am not a young sister, but something about this academy spoke to me when I started seeing the advertisements online. I could study my Deen as Allaah commands all of us to do, and I could do so online. This institution did something that not many other places do and that is hold you accountable. I have never missed class, nor do I intend to. I look forward to it. I look forward to seeing my sisters in class, I look forward to seeing what my teacher has in store for me to day and I look forward to learning! So often, as children we start off with a love and excitement for learning. Small children can't wait to go to school. As we age though, it's less of an privileged and more of a chore. Not here. Here, I have that love that I should for knowledge. I feel like a thirsty man in the desert. I can't get enough water. My throat is dry! I need it! And I need this knowledge. I need to learn Arabic so I can learn this Deen and grow as a stronger and better Muslim. Just today, the khutbuh at my local masjid spoke about how we should not be settled in this life. We should be hoping for the next. But what have I prepared for it?!?! I may have a few books and a Quraan, but unless I learn that knowledge and implement it in my life, what good is it? It will be a proof against me. In my own long-winded way, I am urging you to sign up. Stop making excuses. Stop allowing Shaytaan to whisper to you, that you don't have time, that you aren't ready or that it will be too difficult. Do it now! Sign up and work for a spot in Jannah. We always say we want to be in Jannatul Firdaus, but what do we do to work for it? Take a class and give it a try. Turn off your phone, do those homework assignments that our instructor gives and make this Deen a priority. We've been Muslim far too long not to know the language of the Quraan. Take my word as you sister in faith. You can do this! You have instructors that care about you and sisters that will love and encourage you along the way. The Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said: None of you will believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself. [Bukharee & Muslim] I want you to succeed in this life and the Hereafter.
