Real Reflections

“Learning the Arabic language through Al-Waraqaat feels like seeing color for the first time. I am able to unlock a deeper connection with the Qur’an that I didn’t realize I was missing... we are able to apply what we have learned in class and extrapolate benefits from the Qur’an and Hadith.”

“The curriculum, along with the teaching methods at Waraqat, has made my journey with the Arabic language much smoother than I personally anticipated... This has helped me build and strengthen my connection to the Qur’an and gain a deeper understanding of the words of our Creator.”

“Learning fiqh through Al-Waraqaat has been impactful in my day-to-day actions... I have been able to correct mistakes in my ibadah while implementing new actions — all of which have strengthened my relationship with my Rabb.”
TN
يُؤۡتِي ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَن يُؤۡتَ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ فَقَدۡ أُوتِيَ خَيۡرٗا كَثِيرٗاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ
“He grants wisdom to whom He pleases; and he to whom wisdom is granted indeed receives a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but people of understanding.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:269)
