Dr Bano Murtuja

“Our family is deeply grateful for Dr. Bano and her team for the incredible experience they have provided through this three-year Islamic studies program. Over the past three years, Idris has developed a strong foundation in fiqh, theology, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), all in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and meaningful. What has been especially remarkable is seeing him learn and understand concepts at a young age that we ourselves were not exposed to until much later in life. The knowledge he has gained is not confined to the classroom, it has become part of his everyday life. More than once, my wife and I have been discussing an Islamic question at home, such as whether something affects wudu, and Idris has confidently chimed in with the answer. Moments like those have been both humbling and incredibly rewarding as parents. Beyond the knowledge itself, the program has helped cultivate adab, character, and a mindset of continuous self-improvement. We have seen Idris become more thoughtful, more intentional in his actions, and more conscious of how Islamic teachings apply to his daily life. The emphasis on both knowledge and character development has made this program truly special. There is nothing more special than watching our children embrace and even surpass us in the things that matter most. Seeing Idris develop a deeper connection to his deen and to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), while building a strong foundation of Islamic knowledge, character, and adab, has been one of the greatest blessings for our family. We owe so much of that to Dr. Bano, the program she has built, and the dedicated teachers who have worked alongside her to make this kind of learning possible for our children. We are excited that Idris’s younger brother will soon begin the same three-year journey, and we wholeheartedly recommend this program to any family looking to give their children a strong and lasting foundation in Islam.”
