Walaikum salam,

I find it concerning that you are publicly accusing me of repeatedly using Al in my work I used my own knowledge and understanding in my exams and achieved high marks through my own efforts I also strongly dispute your allegations and I find it unfair that you have chosen to make public claims about my academic integrity in response to a review about my experience at the academy.

Regarding me leaving yes i studied at the academy for 5 years and I am not saying that my entire experience there was bad i appreciated the education I received over the years and i am not denying the knowledge i gained from studying at the academy i am grateful for the good experiences i had in previous years however appreciating your teaching and acknowledging the knowledge i gained does not mean i can't speak up about the things that disappointed me this year, my experience this year was different due to the way i felt my mum was spoken to when she contacted you to ask about my progress i found the way the conversation was handled very disrespectful my mum was asking about her daughter's education and i believe she deserved to be treated with courtesy this was a significant reason why my mum and dad decided to remove me from the academy please do not misrepresent the situation by suggesting that i simply left because i could not meet the expectations of dawrah hadith. Regarding the timings the course was specifically advertised as an evening aalimiyah course the Sunday classes at fajr time lasting around 4 hours was a significant commitment that i do not believe was made clear until only a few weeks beforehand you claim that 6 months advance notice was given but that does not reflect my experience i was not informed of these timings 6 months in advance and i stand by what i wrote in my review

I also remain concerned that a private conversation with a parent was subsequently discussed in front of the class.

Your response gives the impression that you struggle to accept negative feedback rather than addressing the concerns raised you have introduced allegations about my academic work and made personal comments about my character a negative review should be an opportunity to reflect on a student's experience not an opportunity to publicly criticise the student

For an academy teaching Islamic knowledge I would have expected the values of akhlaaq humility fairness and respect to be reflected in how criticism is handled teaching sacred knowledge comes with a responsibility to demonstrate good character particularly when dealing with students and their families these values should not only be taught in lessons but also reflected in everyday conduct

May Allah guide us all grant us the humility to accept sincere criticism, the wisdom to recognise our own shortcomings, and the ability to practise the knowledge we teach. May He enable us to treat others with fairness, dignity and respect, and protect us from allowing pride to prevent us from reflecting on our own conduct. Ameen.

Ultimately a person's character is not demonstrated merely by how much knowledge they teach but by how they behave when their conduct is questioned being a teacher does not make someone immune to criticism and possessing religious knowledge does not automatically mean one has mastered akhlaaq.

I stand by my review and my account of my experience I have acknowledged that I valued my previous years at the academy so this is not about claiming that everything was always bad It is about being honest that my experience this year was disappointing and that the way my mother was treated played a part in my parents' decision to remove me

You are entitled to disagree with my perspective but that does not justify making personal allegations about my academic integrity or attacking my character

Sometimes the way a person responds to criticism says far more about them than the criticism itself.

I’ve been studying on this Alimah course for 5 years now and I’m really grateful for everything I’ve learnt throughout my journey. The teachers are very accommodating and understanding which makes it easier to balance studying alongside other commitments. I really appreciate the support and flexibility they provide. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to gain Islamic knowledge in a supportive learning environment. May Allah reward everyone involved for their efforts and put barakah in the work they do. Ameen!

I have been studying Alimah here for 5 years so far, and honestly, it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Alhamdulillah, I am so grateful to have found such a beautiful place to learn and grow in my deen.

Appa Shazia is an amazing teacher who teaches with so much patience, kindness and dedication. You can truly see how much she cares about her students and their learning. She makes learning enjoyable and creates such a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone.

Over these past 5 years, I have gained so much knowledge, not just about Islam but also about myself and how to become a better Muslim. I genuinely feel so blessed to be part of this madrasah, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to study Alimah in a supportive and positive environment.

May Allah SWT reward Appa Shazia abundantly for all her efforts, put barakah in her knowledge and work, and allow her to continue benefiting many more students. Ameen.

I am truly so happy I found this place, and I pray that Allah continues to bless this madrasah for many years to come. Alhamdulillah for this journey!

I am forever grateful to Allah that i have found an nissa academy, alhamdulillah. Its truly uplifted me spirituality in so many ways. Over the years Appa has consistently instilled in us this sacred knowledge and i can't express how grateful i am. Appa's discipline, determination, and resilience towards us has empowered us to be strong women alhamdulillah. So i would highly recommend an nissa academy to everyone in sha allah

I am studying the Alimiyyah course and in 4th year, I’ve completed my hifz with the academy. I can’t recommend it enough,!

A place that claims to nurture spirituality should, unsurprisingly, be able to accept feedback without questioning someone's identity, mental state or intentions. Nobody expects an institution to please everyone. But professionalism is measured in how you choose to handle this, and so far you've decided to ask other people for reviews without reflecting which is by definition : the active, conscious process of analyzing one’s own experiences, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to gain self-awareness, improve future performance, and foster personal growth .

Being made to feel small in a religious setting is not 'malicious feedback that is untrue', it's a real experience.

I have absolutely nothing to gain for doing this review or sharing this, if anything, it would have been easier to stay silent. But silence helps nobody. For those reading : look at not only the reviews but at the responses. That's where you'll see the true culture of this organisation.

It's also very suspicious there's a sudden wave of 5-star reviews appearing within hours many from first time accounts - actually makes you look suspicious which is so ironic and raises alot of eyebrows.

I stand by my real experience alhamdulliah

This academy has truly changed my life. Because of my teacher, I feel like I’m on a genuine spiritual path—one that grounds me and pushes me to become a better person, not just academically but personally as well. Whenever I reach out for help regarding fiqh or anything I don’t understand, they always make time for me, even with their busy schedules.

I will never forget being randomly called just to be asked how I was doing. That moment meant more to me than words can express. This place is not just about teaching; it’s about care, guidance, and sincere concern for the student as a whole.

Because of this institution, I am now able to guide the younger generation and my partner with correct Shariah guidance, ensuring that what I pass on is rooted in knowledge, understanding, and sincerity. It has also changed how I carry myself—my character, etiquette, and adab—helping me become more mindful, respectful, and grounded in my actions.

This academy is for those who truly want to grow—those who are willing to accept correction and understand that growth isn’t always comfortable. A true teacher is one who guides you, even when the guidance isn’t what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. We’re often not used to being corrected, but this institution does so with wisdom, patience, and genuine care, always aiming to help us improve.

I’m deeply grateful to be part of this academy and for the spiritual and personal growth it has helped me achieve.

7Its alright - mainly because of one calm, kind lady who actually made the place feel welcoming. But that didn’t last. The moment I got moved to another class, everything went downhill fast. If you’re looking for a rigid, inflexible environment where “strict” is basically the whole personality, then sure, this mosque might be your dream. But for anyone who learns differently or needs even a bit of understanding, it’s honestly a miserable experience.
For me, it wasn’t just unhelpful, it pushed me away from my religion. That’s the part that still frustrates me. A place that’s supposed to nurture faith shouldn’t make you dread showing up.
I eventually left and went to learnqurancentre instead, and the difference was unbelievable. They actually treated me like a person, cared about my progress, and helped me reconnect with Islam in a positive way - something this place completely failed at.
You don’t have to look far to find a better mosque. If you want your kids to love Islam rather than resent it, skip this one. And honestly, the fact that learnqurancentre is cheaper and doesn’t force you into weekend classes and a five-day grind with no breaks just makes this place look even worse.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your response Al nisa, the defensive replies from your end is very unprofessional and you may not think this, but many people zone in on the way a business responds to criticism. You questioning whether I am real, and suggest that I am just hating for no reason makes many people, not just me, uneasy. You really make yourself seem less approachable and less willing to self-reflect, exactly what these reviews are saying. Well done, really.

let my child go into this mosque, teacher made my kid cry 2 times in one week. started to hate going to mosque which i couldn't believe as no Muslim learning about Islam should feel. muhammad. peace be upon him said in sahih hadith. "Whoever is not merciful to our young ones or does not acknowledge the rights of our elders is not one of us."

you dont show the islam, the religion OF PEACE, properly.

the fact that you tried to label this review as malicious is very disappointing. you give detentions for the smallest of things, you never encourage thinking about this religion and install whatever fear you can behind a screen. i wasted money on this experience and genuinely want to help others, but no its negative and untrue. do better. this religion is all about accepting faults but i see none in your actions!

This is by far one of the most worst mosque ever! I've been to many mosques previously but this ons stood out to be extremely mean and rude and just in the teaching style alone? That deserves below a 1. Horrible horrible horrible!!!

Horrible people, unempathetic, malicious and just cruel. Especially Shazia, the owner. Why did you choose to build a business surrounding kids where you don't even like them? You being a cruel mosque teacher has made me have bad associations. Good job.

This is one of the best academies I’ve sent my child to, very pleased!
