What Our Students Are Saying

Discover the transformative experiences shared by our students! At Enlightened Path Institute, we take pride in providing an exceptional learning environment. Here's what our students have to say about their journey with us.

“Extremely blessed & humbled to have scholars of this calibre”

Upon commencing my studies at EPI, I was greatly surprised at the exceptional qualities of the teachers. They have not just authentically mastered the knowledge and its principles, which is incredible on its own, but also live by it, embodying the Sunnah and sticking with it through thick and thin, letting the authentic heritage of prophethood guide them through the tumultuous waves of time.

The more I search, the more I realize: These qualities are extremely rare, and they are what distinguish a true Alim amongst the many men who can teach the Arabic, Hadith & Fiqh terminologies. I find myself extremely blessed & humbled to have scholars of this calibre as teachers here, May Allah swt preserve them and accept their efforts as a means of guidance for the entire ummah, Āmīn
