What if one conversation could summarize the entire religion of Islam?
One day, a stranger came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), sat close to him, and asked a series of simple but powerful questions. That moment became one of the most important teachings in Islam — known today as the Hadith of Jibreel.
This profound narration introduces us to the three essential dimensions of our faith: Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.
We don’t just teach you this essential hadith — we offer comprehensive courses in Islamic studies, Quranic studies, and Arabic language. Whether you’re new to the faith or seeking to deepen your knowledge, our personalized, online courses provide you with the tools and guidance to connect with the beauty of Islam.

1. Islam – The Foundation of Action
When the angel Jibreel asked, “What is Islam?”, the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:
“Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give zakat, to fast Ramadan, and to perform Hajj if one is able to do so.”
(Sahih Muslim)
These are the Five Pillars — the outward practices that shape the life of a Muslim. They are not just rules, but gateways to peace, discipline, and connection with Allah.
We guide you to understand how and why each pillar transforms your heart and your daily life. Whether you’re learning how to pray for the first time or want to understand the meaning behind fasting and charity, our expert teachers will walk with you step by step — in clear, fluent English that makes everything easy and meaningful.

2. Iman – The Light Within
After Jibreel asked about Islam, he said, “Tell me about Iman.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) answered:
“Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in divine decree, both the good and the bad of it.”
(Sahih Muslim)
While Islam teaches us what to do, Iman teaches us what to believe. It is the inner light that gives meaning to every action. Belief in Allah brings peace. Belief in the angels reminds us we’re never alone. Belief in the Hereafter gives us hope, purpose, and direction.
We explain each article of faith in a way that’s simple, clear, and spiritually uplifting. Our beginner-friendly classes are perfect for new Muslims and those who want to strengthen their foundation. You’ll learn how these beliefs shape your worldview, your choices, and your relationship with your Creator — all in English, with teachers who understand your background and your journey.

3. Ihsan – The Soul of Worship
Then Jibreel asked, “Tell me about Ihsan.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:
“Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then know that He sees you.”
(Sahih Muslim)
This one sentence captures the deepest level of faith. Ihsan is not about outward actions or intellectual belief — it’s about the presence of the heart. It’s about living every moment with awareness of Allah, striving for excellence in worship, and purifying the soul.
Even if your knowledge is still basic, this concept invites you to connect with Allah in a personal and beautiful way. It reminds us that Islam is not just a religion of rules — it’s a path to spiritual beauty, sincerity, and inner peace.
