Below are just a handful of reviews for Abu Khadeejah’s course. Alhamdulillāh, we’ve had a 100% pass rate in our course thus far.
Review 1
I really love the weekly classes with our Ustādh Abu Khadeejah. He makes them easy to understand and always makes sure everyone is with him. The topics and papers were all well-explained and organised. Even with being a busy housewife and mother, the lessons are always recorded to be able to revise them. Our Ustādh, may Allāh reward him with the highest rank of Jannah, is like a father to us and always there to help when needed. May Allāh bless this course.

Review 2
Adding to the review I left last year, after completing two years with al-Ustādh Abū Khadeejah حفظه الله, I still hold what I said previously.
The curriculum covers not only the full A-Level Cambridge syllabus upon the Salafī way but goes far beyond it, explaining in detail ʿaqīdah issues, fiqh issues, the study of the various madhāhib, Islāmic finances, rules of inheritance, rules of zakāh, Islāmic history, the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ and some of his Companions رضي الله عنهم, and much more that I can’t summarise in this short review, always based on Salafiyyah and the explanation of the great scholars.
The format remained just as efficient throughout: detailed notes in (private) PDF before each class, recorded sessions, open Q&A for both on-topic and off-topic issues, during the lesson and outside of the lessons through WhatsApp, and graded assignments as well. He also gives bonus lessons free of charge. Last week, for example, he gave us 6 hours of lessons.
The Shaykh has always been approachable and patient, and his teaching style makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. So I love him for the sake of Allāh. I’m planning to continue my studies with him after these two beneficial years as long as I can, especially since there’s a reduced price for those staying after the initial two years.
May Allāh reward him for his efforts.

Review 3
As a wife, mother of three, and homeschooling mum, I needed a program that could fit into my busy schedule and the Advanced Level Islamic Studies course taught by Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah has been exactly that and more.
The sessions are thoughtfully structured and recorded, making it easy to keep up even on the busiest days. We’re provided with detailed notes, and there’s always support available whenever it’s needed. Despite my daily responsibilities, I’ve found the course to be both accessible and deeply enriching.
After each lesson, I feel a renewed strength in my eemaan, and I genuinely look forward to the class every week. It has become a source of motivation and consistency in my life.
This has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my journey of seeking knowledge. Learning upon the methodology of the Salaf is a blessing, and I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone serious about their Islamic studies.
I’ve been listening to Ustaadh’s duroos for over a decade now, and to be able to learn from him directly has been a great honour. He is a very patient and amazing teacher. May Allāh bless and preserve him. آمين.

This course is just really interesting to us as Muslims, and we keep gaining new knowledge, alhamdulillah. I am so glad I chose it! Bārakallāhu feekum.

Review 5
This course has exceeded every expectation. As a mother of three and a part-time teacher, time is always limited—but this class has become something I truly look forward to every week. It’s not just educational—it’s transformative.
Ustadh Abu Khadeejah teaches with such passion, clarity, and sincerity that it ignites a genuine craving to keep learning. His depth of knowledge and ability to explain complex topics so clearly have been a gift. Even after each lesson ends, I find myself reflecting, applying, and wanting more.
This course has deepened my understanding of Islam in a way I didn’t realise I was missing. I walk away from each class feeling spiritually nourished, intellectually enriched, and more connected to my deen. May Allah reward the Ustadh immensely.

Review 6
I joined this A-Level course because I wasn’t only looking for naseehah, as important and beneficial as that is, I was seeking something that also offers structure, depth, and authentic Islamic knowledge.
Alhamdulillaah, this course provides exactly that and more.
The materials are of a high academic standard, yet presented in a way that is easy to follow and apply.
Ustādh Abu Khadeejah teaches with patience, clarity, and sincerity – and over time, he’s become like a father-figure in my Islamic journey.
The two hours fly by, and even though the homework is optional, I’ve found it to be a source of tremendous benefit, in-shā’-Allah.
For anyone serious about seeking knowledge with structure and purpose, this course is a true blessing.
―Asiya Rubi (Female). Germany, July 2025.
Review 7
Studying A-Level Islamic Studies with Abu Khadeejah has honestly been one of the best experiences of my education so far. The way he explains complex topics with clarity and depth is something you don’t get in most courses.
What makes the course even better is how great the lessons are. Every lesson is packed with knowledge, but it’s delivered in a way that’s really easy to understand. They’re never boring. In fact, they’re something I actually look forward to. Our teacher makes everything so clear and engaging, and the way he explains things just makes it all make sense.
I’ve learnt so much this year, and I’m very excited for Year 2!

Review 8
I had completed the Islāmic Studies A-Level course with Shaykh Abū Khadījah (may Allāh preserve him upon goodness) last year. It had spanned over a period of 2 years, and I enjoyed my studies with him over the entire duration of the course.
It was an engaging experience for me, and the Shaykh shared with us a wealth of information based on the syllabus of the course as mentioned by Cambridge.
I’m currently redoing the entire course and have recently completed my 3rd year with the Shaykh.
I am not studying with the intention of clearing the Cambridge A-Level exam. My primary purpose is to benefit myself in my religion. It has personally helped me to be regular with the lectures, keeping in mind that I’m paying for the classes. A wide range of topics, including ʿaqīdah, fiqh, sīrah, etc., are addressed in the course, and I find the material very useful.
We have the added benefit of going through such content with a Salafī Shaykh who was recommended by Shaykh Rabīʿ Ibn Hādī (رحمه الله), and was recommended by other major scholars.
I would definitely recommend this course for the English-speaking audience.

Review 9
I have now completed the A-Level Year 1 with Ustādh Abu Khadeejah (ḥafiẓahullāh), and I can honestly say that it has been one of the most eye-opening and beneficial learning journeys I have experienced. The course is filled with essential knowledge based upon the Book of Allāh and the authentic Sunnah, with the understanding of the noble Salaf of this Ummah.
At the age of 44, I’ve come across many matters during this course that I had never encountered before—neither during school nor earlier in adult life—and this has truly been a niʿmah (blessing) from Allāh. The fact that the course is delivered live via video, with structure and clarity, has made it accessible and engaging for students from all backgrounds. Whether male or female, anyone seeking sound understanding upon the manhaj of the Salaf will benefit from this programme, bi’idhnillāh.
One of the most appreciated aspects is the dedicated Q&A sessions at the end of each lesson. Ustādh Abu Khadeejah (ḥafiẓahullāh) is always willing to stay behind, address our questions, and clarify doubts with patience and wisdom—always referring back to the Qur’ān, Sunnah, and statements of the scholars. This has tremendously aided our understanding and connection to the material.
Alhamdulillāh, Ustādh dedication, consistency, and sincerity in teaching are truly appreciated. I ask Allāh to preserve him upon khayr, to reward him abundantly, and to increase in ʿilm and firmness upon the Sunnah.
I am genuinely looking forward and excited to continuing into Year 2, in-shā’ Allāh.
May Allāh increase in goodness and grant us all tawfīq to act upon what we learn and remain steadfast upon the path of the Salaf.

Review 10
It was a pleasure and a blessing from Allāh (the Perfect and Most High) to have the opportunity to be your student and learn from you in the intensive course A Level Islamic studies for the past 2 years, and all praise is for Allah.
Due to this course, I left with the ability to take notes during lessons properly, which is crucial when seeking knowledge and not only this, but you always ensured we were following you throughout the lesson, so no one was left behind or feeling confused. We were given the ability to ask any questions about the lesson at any time using the chat box. Whether male or female students, you gave us both equal opportunities to have our questions answered in a safe and appropriate learning environment.
Ustādh Abu Khadeejah also allowed us to ask questions which weren’t related to the course at the end of the lesson, as well as on our gender-segregated Telegram channels, alhamdulillāh.
Additionally, Ustādh taught in a very clear manner; even the notes he provided us, which he had authored himself (may Allaah reward him), were very, very clear and easily comprehensible. I enjoyed learning from Ustādh and genuinely learnt so much from him. The course has been engaging, intriguing and a great means to seek knowledge in the comfort of your own home with online lessons with a teacher whom Allāh has blessed with the ability to teach. May Allāh reward him for all his efforts and preserve him. I definitely recommend this course as a sister who enrolled when I was only in year 12 (1st year of sixth form college).

Review 11
Alhamdulillāh, the way you interactively taught us was really beneficial, clearing up doubts about Islam! Though there were some tough topics, you were able to explain them in a digestible manner. Allāhumma-bārik.
Your PDF study notes and the recorded lessons were of immense benefit, especially when I missed a session or needed to listen to the class again to confirm my understanding.
Alhamdulillāh, the responses I got from you, especially when I needed on-the-spot answers while I was performing Hajj, were very much appreciated.
Ustādh! My Allāh protect you and preserve you upon good in this world and in the Hereafter. May Allāh reward you abundantly for your generosity and hard work, grant us the success to implement what you have taught us, and aid us to pass it on to our family members, over whom we are responsible (and others). May Allāh be pleased with us all.
Jazākallāhu-khairan.

Review 12
I highly recommend this course!
Sheikh Abu Khadeejah is incredibly patient and generous with his time. He ensures everyone fully understands the material before moving on, covering a wide range of topics. The class notes are detailed, and there are always additional resources available.
Sheikh Abu Khadeejah is accessible to his students even outside of class hours. We can reach out to him anytime, and he responds quickly, māshā’ Allāh. His dedication to his students’ success is evident. I appreciate his versatility: he covers everything from religious matters to health, fitness, and family life. For many of us, he is like a father figure.
As I enter my second year, I find his classes to be the highlight of my week. I feel truly blessed to be part of this. I always look forward to our weekly sessions and love starting my day with his class.
Whether you are young or old, a man or woman, just beginning your journey of learning or already at an advanced level, you will definitely benefit from this course, inshā’ Allāh.

Review 13
The class has been a great benefit, alhamdulillāh, as it is a regular commitment to join other brothers and sisters to learn from a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. As students, we are always encouraged to ask questions to clarify what we are learning, and Ustādh Abu Khadeejah is willing to answer questions both on-topic and off-topic outside of our class time, which is a great help to us.
During classes, we always learned in great deal of depth across various topics, including extra learning relevant to our daily lives. Over the year of learning Units 3 and 4, I particularly enjoyed learning about the origins of philosophy and the “Golden Age” of Baghdad through the lens of Ahlus-Sunnah, and the guidelines of the senior scholars on living alongside non-Muslims in our societies and theirs in the present day.

Review 14
I have completed the first year of the A-level Islamic Studies course, and I can say that I have benefitted immensely and grown in knowledge, alhamdulillāh. Ustādh Abu Khadeejah goes into great detail with each lesson, and I always find it very easy to understand and take notes.
―N Saysell (Female). Morocco, July 2025.
Review 15
This course is the best of its kind that I have seen. It is evident from the material provided, lessons and structure that Ustādh Abu Khadeejah and his team have put a lot of time, thought and effort into providing this comprehensive and invaluable course.
Although I haven’t been able to attend the live lessons, I fully appreciate the flexibility of being able to access the recordings in my own time.
Alhamdullilah, I have now completed the first year of the course, which I have found highly beneficial and would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand Islam in light of the Quran and Sunnah according to the Pious Predecessors.
―Umm Sharifa (Female). July 2025.
Review 16
I would highly recommend the A Level course to anyone looking to seek Islamic knowledge. Ustādh is a fountain of knowledge in a vast range of topics, and his passion for teaching this Islamic Studies course makes our 2-hour lesson feel too short! He makes all concepts easy to understand and ensures all questions and uncertainties are clarified during lessons.
We receive all the notes that are used during the lessons. They are very detailed and informative, and the lesson recordings allow us to revisit the lesson as many times as we need, making it easy to study for homework and for the exam.
Everything we learn helps to better us as Muslims in modern day, and Ustādh challenges us to continue seeking more knowledge to deepen our understanding and to teach others too.
May Ustādh and his team be rewarded abundantly for their efforts and be kept in good knowledge and health.
―Tanya M (Female). United Kingdom, July 2025.
Review 17
As a college student juggling multiple courses, I’ve always yearned for a structured and authentic study of Islam grounded upon the understanding of the Salaf. This A-Level Islamic Studies course with Ustādh Abu Khadeejah has truly exceeded my expectations. The sessions are well-paced, easy to manage alongside a busy schedule, and incredibly enriching. Ustadh Abu Khadeejah explains the topics with clarity, depth, and always refers back to the methodology of the Salaf, which was exactly what I was looking for. His teaching style is sincere, methodical, and rooted in traditional scholarship. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this course—it has deepened my understanding and strengthened my connection to authentic Islamic knowledge. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to study Islam upon clarity and sound understanding, regardless of how busy your life may be.
Jazākum-Allāhu-Khairarā ustād for all your efforts.
And also or taking the time to answer our questions despite your busy schedule. We truly appreciate it.

Alhamdulilāh, I’m thoroughly enjoying learning from Ustādh Abu Khadeejah. I enjoy attending his lessons everyweek. It doesn’t feel like a chore. He is a very good teacher who is experienced, passionate and patient with his students. He communicates and explains each topic very well and in a simple way.
I would highly recommend his courses to everyone, especially his A-level Islamic Studies course.

Review 19
Attending the weekly Islamic studies classes with Shaykh Abu Khadeejah has truly been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I absolutely love the format; structured, clear, and always deeply rooted in authentic sources. The Shaykh’s availability, patience, and willingness to explain every concept in detail make the learning process both accessible and incredibly rewarding.
There is such a wide variety of subjects covered, and the abundance of resources provided ensures that students can continue reflecting and reviewing long after each session ends. Although this is a two-year class, I’ve chosen to continue for another two years, in shaa’ Allaah, simply because of how beneficial and consistent the learning is. Every week brings something new, valuable, and deeply impactful.

Review 20
This course is tremendously beneficial to anyone who wants to learn about Islam as it was taught by the Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and how it was understood by his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I am not doing A Level, but I joined this course to learn about Islam in the light of the Quran & Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Pious Predecessors – and this is exactly what is being taught in an interactive structured format!
Each lesson is accompanied with a set of detailed notes which are extremely useful for revision. The Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) explains the topics very well and answers all questions diligently in the live sessions.

Review 21
The course was both interactive and deeply enriching. Ustādh Abu Khadeejah’s structured approach and extensive knowledge made the experience truly worthwhile. The course materials and recorded lectures serve as valuable lifelong resources. One of the most remarkable aspects of the course is Ustādh’s willingness to address all questions with patience and clarity, and his calm and friendly demeanour stands out as a defining feature of the learning journey.

Review 22
I am truly grateful that Allah chose me to be a part of this A Level course. Before enrolling, my only concern was the fee, will I be able to manage? I wondered. But Alhamdulillah, after joining, I can say with full conviction that it was one of the best decisions of my life. There is nothing that compares to sitting with a Salafi teacher in a structured, well-organized classroom setting and benefiting from direct, guided learning that random online lectures simply cannot offer. In reality, when we rely solely on self-study, we’re navigating through murky waters, vulnerable to confusion and misguidance.
Shaykh Abu Khadeejah (حفظه الله) delivers the classes in such an engaging and captivating manner that you find yourself eagerly counting down the days until the next class. Especially when we were learning about the Pre-Islamic History and the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ —Tuesdays couldn’t come soon enough for me!
What makes his teaching even more impactful is his constant support and accessibility. He patiently answers our questions, clarifies doubts with wisdom, and shares invaluable life lessons and practical advice throughout the course. His dedication to our learning truly sets this experience miles apart.
The classes are highly interactive, with live Q&A sessions in every lesson, giving us countless opportunities to learn, ask questions, and truly benefit. Shaykh Abu Khadeejah (حفظه الله) always reminds us with warmth: “We do not stress! We enjoy and participate as a family.” It’s no surprise that many students have been with the Shaykh for over two years and still choose to continue.
This course has been a means of both knowledge and growth—and for that, I thank Allah wholeheartedly.

Review 23
I came to Salafiyyah about 8 years ago, after spending 15 years with Tablighi Jamaat. When I began seeking knowledge from Salafi scholars, I had to start from scratch, but Alhamdulillāh, it was worth it.
A year ago, I discovered Abu Khadeejah’s Islamic Studies course and initially thought it might be too basic for me, given my years of studying ʿaqeedah and other subjects.
However, I encouraged four friends to join me, and we all felt the same way. But we were pleasantly surprised! The classes were engaging, interactive, and full of new insights. We looked forward to Tuesdays and found the sessions to be a spiritual boost.
Alhamdulillah, I highly recommend this course to everyone. It will be an amazing learning experience for all of you. Bārakallāhu-feekum

Review 24
Alhamdulillāh, it is truly a blessing and a dream come true for my 9-year-old to be able to study under Ustādh Abu Khadeejah. The Tarbiyah Islamic class is very engaging, and Ustādh explains everything clearly in a way that young boys can understand and enjoy.
He keeps the students involved by asking questions, which helps them stay focused and learn better. Most importantly, the class helps boost my child’s Iman and love for Islam.
We are deeply grateful for this opportunity. May Allah reward Ustaz Abu Khadeejah immensely and continue to bless this noble effort. Ameen.
―Umm Abdur Raqeeb. Singapore, July 2025.
And we do not praise anyone above and beyond Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic.
