Zakaat Essentials: Understanding the basics

Zaynab Academy is home. You don’t just become part of it, it becomes a part of you…

When I first heard about ZA, I wanted to join it, but was resistant. But when Allah Ta’ala finally took me there, I was totally amazed by how the teachers take you in so softly and with respect that you’d want to come again and again and never leave that place. Always staying a part of Zaynab Academy has remained one of my goals. It is not about just ilm, but also about how Shaykh Mufti Kamaluddin Ahmed sahab and his wife keep boosting your level of faith via talks and personal conversations. T… Read more

My experience at ZA has been a life changing one.. but  its not distinctive from other people who have come here. To each and everyone.. ZA has been a refuge from the harshness the world had for us when we were striving in the path of Allah. As for me.. I didnt even know I wanted Allah.

Most of all… I have discovered myself.… Read more

After getting attached to this institution I realized the reality of this dunya. Am now proud to be a Muslim and thankful to Allah swt and my ustadhas who are all so humble, loving and caring.

Imagine holding the same books in your hands which ulema and sulahas of the ummah have read in the past. Gave me a point to ponder upon; that how merciful Allah Ta’Ala has been with me. For a piece of filth like me, He gave the flavour of heaven on earth.
As for our teachers; you can try to avoid loving them but you will end up loving each one of them like anything. Their selfless love and efforts for our tarbiyah cannot be repaid.
May Allah Ta’Ala always keeps us all connected in this duniyah a… Read more

Imagine a person sick to the extent that that she is no longer capable to even go visit a doctor, let alone get some medicine; someone on absolute bed rest without anyone near by who can assist her. In this situation a well-wisher miraculously out of no where, and expecting nothing in return, silently comes and injects medicine which is so effective that finally after ages the person is able to open her eyes and move. How grateful she would be to the one who got her this medicine helping her pu… Read more

I am a teacher and I teach junior grades which exhausts me of all my energy by the time school ends. Hence everyday I get off from work I push myself to go for studying and every single day its a fight between me and my nafs till the moment I get back home from school and leave my doorstep for ZA… And every single day i reach there and I feel I have finally found my sanctuary.. I find peace in my heart for i feel safe from shaytaan and my own sinner nafs.
