Testimonials

Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda has positively shaped and inspired me more than any other educational experience to date. The experience the Jamiah offers is irreplaceable; it provides a crucial foundation during the transition to adulthood by instilling core values that I rely upon as a guide every day.

Since graduating with a BA (Hons) in Education Studies and Psychology, my professional journey has been one of continuous growth. I began my career at Tauheedul Islam Boys’ High School (TIBHS) in 2012, progressing through various leadership roles—from Head of Year and Director of Learning for Humanities to my current position as Assistant Principal for Curriculum, Data, and Standards.

The discipline and pedagogical grounding I received at the Jamiah have been instrumental in my leadership journey. It is a privilege to now come full circle and give back to the institution that nurtured me, by teaching the Evening Alim class at Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda, helping to nurture the next generation of students.

Studying at Jamiah has been the core to developing and shaping my future particularly the secular education. At the time Jamiah did not have provision for studying A levels and higher Education. However, they supported me joining College and completing A levels. As a result I have managed to attain a Degree in Accounting and Business, completion of the ACCA Programme and I am now studying for a Masters in Higher Education. Without Jamiah, none of these would have been possible.

My 10 years as a student at JIWH can be summarised as fun, enjoying, spiritual and productive. Each of us belong to the Jamiah family. After gaining an Alimiyya degree at the institution not only was I able to achieve great GCSE’s and A-levels and thereafter a first class BA Hons degree but also a LLM in law. I am proud of Jamiah, the excellent spiritual and striving ethos created will forever be admired, longed and appreciated.

I graduated from Jamiah in 2007 and then stayed for one more year to gain experience and further develop my skills. Jamiah has played a major part in my development and has given me the confidence to open a similar institute in Reunion. Without my experience in Jamiah and the constant assistance, guidance and duaas I receive from my mentors, this would not have been possible.

Jamiah played an instrumental role in my life in nurturing me into a young adult with skills that have now allowed me to go on and serve my local community. I currently teach young adults and also run my own restaurant. Jamiah provided me a unique learning environment, as it enhanced not only my education but also taught me key skills of life which have enabled me to be in the position I’m in today.

I completed my Islamic Studies course at the Institute in Sep-06, where I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will forever remain grateful to the staff and teachers there. Thereafter, I went on to complete a BA in Economics and Social Studies at The University of Manchester in 2009. Currently, I am employed at Ernst and Young LLP as a qualified accountant and my other interests include delivering lectures and seminars, teaching and sitting on a shariah board.
