A Voice That Inspires…
“I was hesitant to commit to an Ijazah course because of time limitations and other priorities. During Hajj two years ago, I made a lot of dua asking Allah SWT to strengthen my connection with the Qur’an. Al Rawdah Academy became the place where that dua was answered.
In Mina, I met a sister who later shared Ustazah Mariam’s contact with me without me even asking for an Ijazah teacher. Allah SWT placed the courage in my heart to begin, and with His mercy, I completed my Ijazah with Ustazah Mariam. She was incredibly accommodating, allowing me to schedule 6–8 classes a week. She never let my mistakes slide, and that firm, loving push was exactly what I needed.
If you are someone wanting to start from the basics or simply need a refresher, don’t delay that first step. Once you begin, Allah SWT will open doors for you in ways you could never imagine.
JazakAllahu khairan, Ustazah Mariam. May our connection with the Qur’an be a means of uniting us in Jannah. Ameen.”

Ijazah Course
“Masha’Allah Tabarak’Allah, I’ve known Sister Mariam for over 5 years now, and with every passing day I am reminded of my gratitude to Allah SWT first and then to Sister Mariam, aside from the many other blessings Alhamdulillah!
With one of the most trying years of my life, she was the best thing that ever happened to me, as she helped me to connect, heal, and interact with the Al Quran.
I have NEVER come across such a patient, sincere, and compassionate person in my life, to whom the Al Qur’an means everything!!!!
She is no ordinary Ustadah! She has been gifted with the ability to recognize where a student of hers needs to strengthen a weakness in both learning Tajweed and recitation. She has a selfless passion to teach and goes over the board to make sure she attains the goals intended for each student – Alhamdulillah!
I am truly looking forward to working along with her and her daughters, with the help and support of Allah SWT, Inshaa’Allah!
Al Rawdah Academy has always been her dream, and today her own students envision the same dream and yearn to see it grow into a globally recognized online Academy for Seekers of the Truth!
May Allah SWT be pleased with her and her team, accept everyone’s efforts, and forgive our shortcomings! Aameen.”

Ijazah Course & Certificate of Completion & Islamic Studies Program
“I honestly can’t recommend Sister Mariam enough. I take Qur’an class and Islamic Studies class with her. She has helped me not only improve my Qur’an recitation but also deepen my understanding of Islam in such a kind, thoughtful, and approachable way.
Her teaching is never overbearing. She creates a space where asking questions feels easy, and learning feels natural. Every class with her leaves me feeling more connected to my faith and more confident in my knowledge.
She’s always full of wisdom, gentle encouragement, and sincere care for her students. I feel truly blessed to be learning from her, and I’m so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on my journey. May Allah SWT reward her for all that she does! Ameen.”

Qur’an Tilawah & Islamic Studies Program
I’ve been so blessed to learn with Sister Mariam at Al Rawdah Academy for over two years now. Learning from her has truly been the most meaningful journey of my life.
With her guidance, I am learning Tilawah, basic Arabic grammar, Qur’an memorization, and Islamic Studies. I hope to complete my Ijazah course with her to become a qualified Qur’an teacher myself soon, in Sha Allah.
What I love most about Sister Mariam is her sincerity. She teaches straight from the heart and is genuinely invested in her students purely for the sake of Allah SWT. She always reminds me to just show up, do my best, and place my trust in Allah SWT, and that inspires me every single day.
My daughters are also taking Tilawah classes with her, and I’m so grateful they’re learning from someone who embodies patience, kindness, and genuine care for her students’ success.
Alhamdulillah, through her teaching, I’ve not only gained knowledge but also built a stronger, deeper connection with the Qur’an.
May Allah SWT reward her and her family for all their efforts and sincerity, Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen!”
