Testimonial

Before joining UA Academy I would be worried about the future but wasn’t very proactive in taking steps to improve myself and better my life. UA Academy has made me ready and in control of my life by reflecting and focusing on what’s important to me.

The wide variety of diverse topics has really transformed me in less than a year, where now I am extremely confident on tackling any problems as well as identifying how to grow. I would definitely recommend UA Academy to anyone who feels stuck, lost or wants to change their life for the better. The program is hugely beneficial and I am very grateful that I am a part of this process.

As someone with various disabilities, I faced life-changing, traumatic events over the past five years, leading to significant struggles in my mental, physical, and financial well-being. My GP referred me to talking therapies in 2022, but they didn’t help; I felt they only allowed me to vent without offering real solutions.

In April 2024, a friend recommended UA Academy for guidance from a qualified Islamic Scholar. My experience there has been transformative. After more than 10 sessions, I noticed significant improvements in my emotional state by the third session. They helped me create a personalized strategy to tackle my challenges, which we revised as I made progress. 

Thanks to UA Academy, I’ve gained insights into solutions I hadn’t considered before, allowing me to return to work after 18 months of absence due to trauma. I highly recommend UA Academy to anyone facing difficulties, as they genuinely aim to help you find solutions, just as they did for me. Alhamdulillah.

Joining UA Academy has been a life-changing experience for me. Since I started, I’ve seen myself grow in so many ways—I’ve become more confident, learned how to lead others, and developed a level of patience I never thought I’d reach. Being part of this program has also strengthened my relationship with Allah, reminding me to prioritise my faith in everything I do and constantly remembering Allah and being grateful to him no matter how I feel about the situation. I feel so grateful to be part of a program that not only pushes me to be better but also helps me stay organised and focused on my goals.

The group sessions with my peers have been one of the best parts of the journey. I love how interactive they are; we get to share ideas, challenge each other’s perspectives, and truly listen to one another. And the support we receive is incredible—our mentor is always checking in on us, making sure we’re doing okay, and is there whenever we need advice or just someone to talk to. This is by far the best part of the program. Having that constant encouragement has made all the difference, and I’m so thankful for it. Confiding in him feels so natural, and every session leaves me feeling relaxed, like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. He always listens intently, and no matter what I’m going through, he has a solution or guidance that brings me peace and clarity. Before joining the program, I thought I didn’t need any help and felt there wasn’t much to improve on. However, these past five months have shown me that there’s always room to grow, and now I’m genuinely excited to see what more I can learn in the sessions ahead.

Before joining UA Academy I was constantly procrastinating, felt lazy, and was tired every day. Now I feel more focused than ever, and have improved my daily life for the better. I get more sleep, more work done, and have organised my day to day. I would recommend UA Academy because it helped me to knuckle down in school, and also improve my mentality and lifestyle.

I was at first sceptical about joining UA academy believing that I could do without a guide for 2 years of my life before adulthood, I was fortunately proven wrong, I've found that this course has helped prepare me for my future, encouraging me to improve myself mentally, academically, physically, spiritually being guided by an Ustaadh well versed in Islam and psychology thus, greatly able to meet needs.

As a former student of Ahbabur Rahman, I can 100% guarantee that his teaching, knowledge, and influence has had nothing but a positive impact on my life. I was a student of his Islamic studies class for over 10 years, starting from the age of 4, and I built a brilliant relationship with him over the years. Ahbab’s style of teaching is unmatched and has helped me grow in so many other ways beyond just spiritually.

In addition to providing Islamic advice, he was also able to offer guidance on general life queries. This has given me much more confidence in myself and my approach towards life. He also maintained a very friendly and personal approach towards the lessons and his students, allowing him to establish a strong relationship with them. This gave his students a greater sense of comfort in the class meaning lessons were more effective. 

Overall, I would definitely recommend Ahbab’s services to others due to the amount of knowledge he is able to provide. As a student I could see him as much more than just a teacher knowing I could go to him for any support I may require. He displays such a high level of passion and commitment to ensuring the best for his students, which you’ll struggle to find anywhere else.

The telephone call from Ustadh Ahbab came at a time when I felt many of my son’s undesirable habits and lack of positive effort were not fixable, and that we would simply have to live with them.  Nonetheless, I liked what I heard from Ustadh Ahbab about the course he was proposing to offer, so I enrolled my son in it.  Ustadh Ahbab had taught my son Quranic studies in his early childhood and had given him a good foundation, so I had full confidence in him.

A few weeks before the course began, my wife and I met with Ustadh Ahbab. We went into the meeting carrying nearly two pages of A4 paper filled with a list of things we had tried with Imad that had failed miserably, as well as areas where we felt he should excel. The meeting was productive, but we left thinking that perhaps the stuffs in the list were a little too much to ask.

Fast forward one year.  For son’s birthday, I wrote a card that went something like this:

“My dear son, as you know very well, every year I buy you a big card and fill it with loads of advice and, as a father, my expectations of you.  But, to my surprise, I am struggling to put pen to paper this year because I realise that in such a short time you have fulfilled all my expectations.  You have also excelled in many other areas.  I don’t know whether to thank you or Ustadh Ahbab, but I am so proud of you!”

They say a few words can speak louder than a whole essay, and the above sums up the profound positive impact Ustadh Ahbab has had on my son. Thank you!

Alhamdhulillah, he has grown into a man so gracefully.  His academic life has improved greatly, but more importantly, his spiritual life has thrived.  We can clearly see that he has drawn closer to Allah.  Maa shaa Allah.
