“…it seems a lot more thought and deliberation went into developing the HLCP curriculum. I really do feel Irshad’s courses are on par or even better than most in-person classroom Islamic seminaries, eradicating the need for students to travel overseas…”
“…really enjoyed the women’s fiqh course and found it very beneficial, especially covering topics which are often overlooked in many fiqh courses, such as rules of beautification and makeup… it was a really good opportunity to be able to discuss these issues… plenty of opportunities for questions…”
“An amazing course which I pray gets turned into a textbook…never seen a course of fiqh taught in this way, a whole new expanse of knowledge was opened through it…”
“Aside from the quality of the lectures given… the general environment was absolutely blessed… brought people together from different continents, at different stages in their learning, with different backgrounds and areas of specialisation… forming a community from the first day on…”
“…one of the most astute and effective teachers I have ever had the privilege of studying with. He possesses a deep understanding of fiqh, not just in the science itself but as well as its history and principles… I also became a better student…”
“…I’ve benefitted immensely not only from Shaykh Tabraze's teaching, but also from the methodology and adab with which he approaches the teaching of fiqh…”
“His calm demeanour, constant patience, and affable nature, in addition to his deep understanding of the Fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifa's school is patently manifest to those who frequent his study circles…”
“In all honesty, I don't know what to say! It surpassed my expectations. I love how you married together the purpose of fiqh being to become more Muhammadan! … I have no words… Jazakumullahu Khairan for this honour to have been able to attend, sit with you and partake and feel so inspired…”
“…Shaykh Tabraze translates and explains the text with exactitude and gives examples, as needed, for various issues covered in class. He answers questions in detail explaining the relevant aspects… What I like most is how he highlights the reason for the fiqh rulings while reading the text…”
“…Shaykh Tabraze frequently brings up points of benefit, both practical and theoretical, relating to the historical and the contemporary, and he is always open to further questions and discussions. All of this is with a sense of humour and compassion, and keen regard to the students’ level and priorities…”
