A Life Changing Experience
"Since joining the Year of Knowledge program, my Salah has improved, and I now see it as my refuge. I've learned to trust in Allah's Justness, embrace vulnerability, and value the Sunnah and Hadith more deeply. Alhamdulillah for this program's blessings."

Practically Not Only Theoretically
Alhamdulillah, this is my third year with YOK, and I plan to continue, inshallah. I stay because the program focuses on the practical application of Allah’s knowledge, always asking how it impacts daily life.

His doors of knowledge
Alhamdulillah, I knew the Quran, Hadiths, and Names of Allah from a young age but never learned how to apply them in daily life until I joined YOK. I'm deeply grateful to Allah for guiding me to this program and opening His doors of knowledge.

Changed my Relationship with Allah
"The first thing I am grateful for is my children seeing me studying; they are so excited. They help me explain some words while doing homework, and I get to share what I am learning with them. They will always, in sha Allah, remember that mom, even after turning 40 years old, is still learning about her deen. Secondly, the whole term exceeded my expectations. I wanted to increase my knowledge, but my relationship with Allah is starting to change. I used to think I prayed! I never prayed; I felt I knew My Prophet; peace be upon him; I don’t know him. This course helped me build a better and stronger relationship with Allah and his messenger; peace be upon him. That helped me strengthen my family relationship and change my priorities. Knowledge comes first, learning it, teaching it to my family and applying it."
