What Our Students Say
Dr. Salam
DoctorThe Risalat summer course on Islamic Belief System has invoked a loud introspection in the realm of our self-recognition. This is due to the teachers’ competency and the curriculum’s scientific structure and content which classifies the different compositions of an individual (self) and all creation. Our perspective on our souls and the capacity of our fitrah has been altered forever nourishing us with more love and submission towards our Creator, Allah (swt). We realized the second part of the course on Imamate and Wilaya was an integral part of the curriculum because it awakened a fervent connection between us and our imam Al-Qaem (af). The fruits we bear in Islamic Belief System is a necessary foundation to comprehend where and how to build that connection with our Imam as we journey in our role for his advent and reappearance. Socially, the experience reinforced our bond of Wala’ between us (believers) training us to be compassionate towards each other as a family. We recognized that this wala’ is a great contributor to attain felicity.

StudentThe Risalat summer course is the perfect balance of ziyarah trips, touristic visits and religious education. Attending the classes and being taught by the respected scholars was a much needed break from daily routine and the perfect opportunity for guided reflection. Throughout the trip, we developed a greater spiritual connection with Imam Mehdi (AS) through reading dua alfaraj and a constant reminder of his presence which was a beautiful and calming feeling. I am truly grateful to Allah swt for giving me and others the opportunity to attend this course and build the connections that I did, and Inshallah it will continue at the high standard it is at. Thank you to all who made this possible!!

TeacherAttending the Risalat course was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever encountered. Not only were we blessed with the opportunities to visit the Holy personalities in Qom and Mashhad but we were blessed with being in the presence of learned scholars and mentors to guide us through the trip. The course enabled the youth to question and challenge which is a rare opportunity when hearing lectures. We were able to benefit from the guidance and wisdom of the mentors who did an outstanding job at ensuring the trip went smoothly. The organization and commitment of the mentors was admirable and we cannot thank them enough. The Risalat course is the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants to gain knowledge alongside Ziyarat. Meeting people on the same wavelength as yourself and creating relationships is also a strength of this course. I pray this course continues and that Allah SWT rewards every individual who was part of the running of this course and that it expands year on year through His Blessings.

StudentThe Risalat Course 2019 went above and beyond my expectations. It provided the spiritual recharge I was desperate for; from the esteemed teachers we had and the proximity to Jamkaran, Bibi Masooma, and Imam Ridha a.s. Dua Tawasul on a Tuesday night in Jamkaran is a memory I will never forget. And I cannot emphasise enough on the kindness and efforts of the teachers on this trip. There are few experiences in life that leave a mark on an individual, this was one of them for me. The two weeks in Iran was a blessing I thank Allah for.
