What our students say about the course

“During my search for increasing my understanding of my faith I have been fortunate enough to attend many courses. Each of those courses and places had a unique quality and atmosphere. However, with Light of Knowledge Course at Whitethread Institute the people I met on the course and the teachers were truly inspiring. One of the most beneficial aspects of the course was the way in which the teachers were always so passionate and approachable in terms of the questions and queries which I had. They were so generous with their time and they have left an impression on me which I will treasure for a very long time. The teaching was of such excellent quality that I would look forward to coming to class every week. I have no hesitation in recommending the Light of Knowledge Course with Whitethread Institute a hidden treasure which has been an immense blessing for me.”

“Our class was able to continue the course with Ustadha Umm Huzayfah. It's been a truly amazing experience learning with her as she makes the course material & books more understanding and relevant to our lives. We are taught at a good pace & get a chance to reflect deeply on the message being conveyed in Tafsir.”
