REVIVING TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC EDUCATION
Qunoot Academy is founded with the goal to spread Islamic knowledge following a traditional curriculum in a modern online environment. As the world continues to expand in a virtual way and our time and attention shrink at an unprecedented pace, there are many who aspire to acquire sacred knowledge but remain disadvantaged by their busy lifestyle. Qunoot Academy offers short courses on various Islamic Sciences in a systematic way that progressively build on the conceptual understanding of knowledge seekers while promoting curiosity and critical thinking. As students continue their learning through advance levels in a self-paced program, they gain a deeper appreciation of Islamic scholarship and taste the richness of the divine message.
We encourage you to register today and start your journey in the path of Allah in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the pious predecessors.
