Some Testimonials from Bayyinah Summer

We’d like to thank all those who participated in our Bayyinah Summer programs for sending us their feedback. We wanted to share some of the comments we received,

I am so lucky to have been in Brother Wisam’s presence for the past ten days. He will never know how much he bettered my life. His stories were incredible and are etched into my mind. I have already made immediate changes with the knowledge he bestowed upon us. For example, when I pray Fatiha, I do stop and wait to hear Allah’s swt response. I love his philosophy on sins in this world. He says, take care of your sins in this world, so you you dont have to pay for them in the hereafter. …. I can never explain in words what I got out of this course. I got more than I ever thought I would. I wish everyone can take this course at least once and learn from Brother Wisam. -Student from Houston

The following comment is from a sister who took the 101 Reading course which is only offered in the Summer,

Regarding the system, I would like to mention that as a convert sister from Mexico, the whole Arabic alphabet seemed like a puzzle to me, let alone opening a page of the Glorious Quran and trying to recite it.
I, as many sisters I know, had taken a few basic courses, consulted several language teachers, filled pages of exercises and still struggled with the recognition and memorization of only the letters!
As I mentioned I am a couple of days away from completing the course, inshallah, and I can proudly recognize and assemble words and even some short sentences ( after a little time, of course). But, Mashallah! The system seems so simple, no heavy memorization and complicated explanations and tricks, yet it has worked wonderfully for me. Now all those strange symbols and squiggly lines make sense to me.

We also launched another new course during the summer – 103 Advanced Tajweed,

After recently attending the Bayyinah Tajweed 103 class, I have to say, I’m so amazed. Alhamdulillah, in ten days, Br. Wisam not only helped us to improve and implement the rules he taught us in his 102 class, he helped us to pray better, read better, and just BE better. I feel that after taking this class, not only did my attention to grammar improve by default; because to recite with proper tajweed you have to know how the words are spelled; my concentration during salah also improved dramatically.

Masha Allah, his teaching style makes something that used to seem so daunting, so achievable. And his sense of humor makes the class so much more interesting. He gave each of us individual attention and constuctive criticism. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to take thier learning of tajweed to the next level.
