“In 2019, at the age of 7, I enrolled as an online student at Al-Maruf Academy without any prior knowledge of the Quran. Within six months, I learned to read the Quran, thanks to the academy's structured teaching methods. By the end of my first year, I had grasped grammar and sentence structure. Within two years, I was translating the Quran and understanding Arabic in context. I attribute my rapid progress to Al-Maruf Academy's knowledgeable and dedicated teachers, who provided consistent homework and insightful explanations, extending lessons beyond textbooks to clarify complex concepts.”

(Chris, an English speaker, embarked on a journey to learn Arabic, progressing from mastering the Arabic alphabet to understanding grammar and translating Quranic verses.)

“Learning Arabic with Adeel is always great fun and really rewarding. Being an English speaker with no background in Arabic I have found the learning process challenging at times but Adeel is always very patient. We are now reading the Qur’an together and I am finding it engaging and exciting. It is incredible to see the words in the book brought to life in their original Arabic. I would entirely recommend Adeel as your teacher if you are looking to learn Arabic.”

“As a mother of two small children I have very little time for myself, however my Arabic lessons with Adeel are something I look forward to every week. I am very much enjoying learning the language and to read the Quran properly. Adeel is a very patient and kind teacher who makes all lessons simple and fun. Learning the language hasn’t been easy for me and breaking it up and learning things one stage at a time has really helped me grasp the basics. I have a long way to go but I’m glad I’m receiving the support and help from Adeel.”

“Since April 2020, I have been a student at Al-Maruf Academy, embarking on my Hifz journey online. Over the years, I have progressed from Juz 30 to Juz 29, and now, Alhamdulillah, I am working on Juz 1. Mr. Maruf's teaching style is remarkable; his lessons are interactive, productive, and motivating. He is friendly, approachable, and flexible, sharing the same goals as his students, and has shown me a path to achievement and success. Through his fun and humorous nature, I have built a relationship of trust over the years and have grown into an organized and independent person. Completing the memorization of Juz 29 was a truly ecstatic moment, and I wholeheartedly recommend his structured, outcome-driven lessons.”

“My journey with Al-Maruf Academy has been a long but deeply rewarding one. I have always struggled with reading and understanding the Qur’an. When I started classes with Adeel at the age of 15 or 16, I could barely read, let alone comprehend. Now, at 19, I can comfortably read and recite the Qur’an with confidence.

Initially, I was apprehensive about learning Arabic. The thought of tackling a new language was intimidating, but Adeel created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. This approach helped me not only improve my recitation but also start understanding the Qur’an’s meaning as I read, which has been incredibly motivating.

Al-Maruf Academy has been a space where I could ask questions openly, without feeling judged or uneasy. Beyond just learning, it has strengthened my eman and deepened my understanding of Islam.”
