Success Stories from Johannesburg

We're proud of the incredible progress our students in Johannesburg have made. Here are some of their stories:

★★★★★

"My son Ibrahim, age 8, went from not knowing a single Arabic letter to reading full surahs in just 5 months. The teacher is incredibly patient and the monthly reports really help me track his progress. We tried two local madrasas in Johannesburg before this — nothing compares."

— Abu Hassan, Johannesburg, South Africa

★★★★★

"I specifically needed a female teacher for my daughter Sumaya (age 5). Ilmify arranged one within 24 hours. She's now on Juz 4 of her Hifz journey, Alhamdulillah. The quality of teaching is outstanding — better than anything available locally in Johannesburg."

— Sister Zahra, Johannesburg, South Africa

★★★★★

"Both my children — Idris (5) and Khadijah (10) — take group classes together. The teacher manages the class brilliantly and they actually look forward to their Quran lessons now. At just $25/month for group classes, it's incredible value."
