Student Testimonials


“It is an absolute brilliant series. You will not regret it. Hats off!” – Jahangir

“Ma sha Allah an excellent course. I purchased it recently. It is a deep dive into history of Islam based on factual information. It is full of insights on key events. Highly recommend for anyone seeking knowledge of this discipline.” – Areeba

“I’m really enjoying it. Especially the analytic style as opposed to memorizing names and dates method which I am used to. This course is a must for every Muslim.” – Ismail

“What make this course different from others? I think it’s mainly Shaykh Ismail’s approach to looking at history. His first and foremost priority is always drawing lesson as much as possible, not to just know or memorize historical incidents. And he narrates history from neutral perspective as far as possible. As a result, he neither fantasizes history nor becomes pessimistic. I think these reason are worthy enough to drive anyone to do an excellent course like this.” – Osman Harun Sani

“Sheikh Ismail Kamdar is highly professional, dedicated, disciplined and knowledgeable. He is one of the very best tutors…” – Yasmeen

“When I say that Ustadh Ismail Kamdar was, all things considered, the best teacher I had…and one of the best teachers I had the blessing of studying under, I am in no way exaggerating, as will be testified by hundreds of other students!” – Tabassum

“Thank you for putting together such a beautiful course. I thoroughly enjoyed all the sections and learnt from it. one of it’s unique value adds is the “lessons learnt” at the end of each video. I sincerely hope and pray we have a new Islamic golden age and our children will benefit and be part of it.” – Janahara
