This course offers a great opportunity to gain knowledge from brilliant teachers. Classes are interactive and the course gives you the option of flexibility, with platforms such as online classes to cater for different students. The Al-Ma'rifah team are helpful and professional, and take feedback on board to deliver us with high quality content.

After studying this course with Al-Ma'rifah, I’ve found it to be the easiest form of access to local scholars and teachers. The workbooks are very well-designed and the weekly class is something I look forward to. To me, the best thing that has come out of this course (other than seeking knowledge) is meeting new brothers on the same journey. Definitely recommend!

I have found the Pathway to Closeness course to have been invaluable due to the premium quality in its materials, direct access to esteemed local scholars, and regular opportunities to connect with like-minded students. The organised curriculum focuses on spiritual growth and on what is important.
