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.”

“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.”
