What Our Graduates Say

“As a pre-med student at Zaytuna, I discovered Islam’s integrated conception of the human being. I learned the human was at once body and soul, a physical and spiritual being. Now, I hope to study allopathic medicine and understand its immense benefits through the integrated framework of Islam.” Profile image of alum student Nida Ahmed Nida Ahmed, Student at UT Southwestern Medical Center
“The logical rigor and clarity of expression demanded by Zaytuna College inspired me to pursue further training in philosophy and religion. The inspiring lectures, class discussions, and conversations with Zaytuna’s esteemed faculty continue to guide my intellectual aspirations.” Profile image of alum student Sohabe Mojaddid Sohabe Mojaddid, Graduate studies in philosophy, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
“Zaytuna College taught me how to probe the meanings of words and sentences to discover their root logic. I carried these foundational principles with me to law school, where we closely read case law and track the evolution of specific legal ideas.” Profile image of alum student Reema Lateef Reema Lateef, Attorney
