“Whoever treads a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make easy for them the path to Paradise.”
Hadith, Sahih Muslim

Requirements

Attendance

As students who are seeking knowledge of the Deen, it is very important to respect our teachers, and the best way to do this is to attend the live classes as much as possible. For those who have a valid excuse (time zone difference, illness, etc.) it is expected to watch the recordings at least in sha'a Allah.

Commitment

It does not rain gold and silver from the sky as 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه said! It is important to show commitment. Complete the quizes and final exams and be active during the classes! Make sure to do your homework when there is homework and always ask questions, do not be shy!

Partial vs. Full Scholarship

ZidniACCESS is a non-profit learning platform and we invest everything we have to get the best instructors, tools, and platforms. It is very important that if you are applying for a scholarship to keep in mind that anything you pay helps achieving those goals and make it easy for all students. And then, if you are unable to afford to pay anything, we also offer full scholarships.
“Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge by degrees.”
Qur’an 58:11
