Student Reviews

What Students Say About the MARS Learning Experience

  • Alhamdulillah, enrolling in Mufti Hisham’s course MARS 103-H has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Mufti Saheb’s calm, patient, and encouraging manner creates a safe space where students feel truly comfortable asking questions—even on sensitive, real-life fiqh challenges.
    What stood out most was how many sisters felt confident discussing their everyday struggles openly. That level of trust is rare and so valuable.
    Highly recommend this course for anyone seeking deep, practical, and spiritually grounded Islamic knowledge

  • “Mawlana Iqbal teaches not merely with knowledge, but with a deep and evident love for the act of teaching itself. Each lesson is imbued with a quiet warmth and a contagious enthusiasm. Mashallah he is a masterful facilitator—his thoughtful pauses, reflective musings, and the shared joy when understanding dawns create a space of genuine intellectual camaraderie. I highly recommend enrolling in MARS 104”

  • “Because of the time difference, I usually join my MARS 105 classes super tired and ready to crash after a long day. But as soon as Mufti Ehzaz starts teaching, I’m suddenly wide awake and locked in. Mashallah, he’s seriously a force of nature — his positive energy is so uplifting and makes the whole class really engaging.He presents complex ideas with exceptional clarity, and his well-designed slides make everything easy to follow. Highly recommend signing up!”
