"Alhamdulillah, I've benefited so much from Istiqamah. My teacher is very kind and supportive, and the structure is amazing. It helps you stay consistent and makes sure you don't forget your old surahs. Alhamdulillah, I've now memorised 5 ajzaa and I've become much more consistent with reading Qur'an every day. I've also benefited a lot from my Qur'an partner through our muraaja'ah. I would definitely recommend Istiqamah — it gives you the structure, support and accountability you need to stay connected to the Qur'an and continue your journey."

6 months — significant improvement in pronunciation and recitation
WhatsApp
"It's coming up to the 6 month mark of taking lessons with Istiqamah and I'm really glad that I decided to start Qur'an lessons again after many years of not doing so. I have noticed a significant improvement in my pronunciation and recitation of the Qur'an since starting the lessons. My teacher is incredibly supportive and understands the level that I am at, adjusting the portions of Qur'an that she assigns me to memorise based on my capabilities. Having an allocated time to practise and recite the Qur'an is very beneficial. I would definitely recommend Istiqamah to anyone looking to start or restart their recitation journey."

May Allah bless the institute and everyone involved."
"May Allah bless you immensely Ustadh. I've found Istiqamah Institute to have a very well defined structure and methodology in teaching Hifdh. The way lessons are planned and the accountability built into the programme really helps you stay on track. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into how students learn best. Highly recommend to anyone serious about memorising the Qur'an."

Over a year — built life around the Qur'an, Ustadh like a close friend
WhatsApp
"I've been with Istiqamah for over a year now and it has genuinely changed my life. My Ustadh Bukhaari has been like a close friend throughout this journey — always there to support, guide and push me when I need it. I've built my entire daily routine around the Qur'an because of this programme. The consistency and love for the Book that Istiqamah instils in you is something truly special. May Allah reward everyone at the institute abundantly."
