Zidni Institute

Zidni Institute was established to simplify the pursuit of sacred knowledge, addressing the common issue of confusion among students. Many beginners waste time navigating various academic programs and not finishing texts. Zidni aims to fill this educational gap in the West by offering a step-by-step program guiding students from foundational to advanced levels.
Our institute emphasizes a balanced curriculum with Traditional texts, and successful students can receive an ijāzah. The program caters to both those pursuing advanced studies and those seeking a solid foundation in key Islamic sciences.

Testimonials

What our students say

Zidni Institute is a very practical way to learn the Islamic sciences as an adult in the West. They provide the necessary flexibility without compromising on rigor or quality. I cannot recommend it enough for those who want to walk the path of knowledge but cannot leave their responsibilities.

Omar

This course was a perfect intro to Arabic. Upon completion, I was more confident in my speaking, listening, and comprehension skills. I can listen to khutbas and read Quran with far greater understanding Alhumdulillah
