Testimonials

"This course allowed me to keep a sense of community in a time when connections are limited. While connecting with my sisters all over the globe, I have been able to praise God and His Messenger (saws) in a virtual gathering. I gained confidence in me singing and would definitely do it more often"
-
"I really felt that I improved my skills at drumming over the different stages ! I am thinking of starting my own little circle with sisters around me to keep drumming, singing and praising God and His Messenger (saws). Barak Allahu fikunna for this opportunity"
