What Others Are Saying:

“If you're looking to expand your knowledge in Islamic Studies, especially when it comes to the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ, then Dr Bano is your source. I have been in her classes for a while in person and on line. I find her classes intriguing and captivating. She is very passionate, committing and engaging and her students thoroughly enjoy her class. ”

“I highly recommend the Stories from the Seerah series/podcast! From the very first episode, my children (age 3 and 5) have been hooked! The stories are captivating and engaging for children and adults alike. It is beautifully narrated and truly brings the Seerah to life. I pray that this noble endeavour is a means to instil the love of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) in the hearts of children worldwide. Ameen”
