What Our Students Say
“Studying the primary texts of Western philosophers and social theorists under the guidance of our teachers has given me increased confidence in critically examining emerging contemporary ideologies - such as feminism and secularism - that characterize modern society. Rather than accepting these theories as the invariable frameworks of our world, my Zaytuna education teaches me to examine contemporary thought from the lens of our sacred tradition. ”
Kashaf Zaman, Class of 2022
“By studying the trivium alongside Islamic sciences such as Quranic studies, hadith and fiqh, Zaytuna College is aiding me in developing a critical lens with which I view the world. The tools I have acquired thus far have provided me with the ability to analyze sentence structure, historical context, and the validity of a source when seeking to create informed opinions on current events, ancient texts, and mainstream media.”
Amina Hafeez, Class of 2024
“As the stars guide the traveler to his destination, the entire cosmos directs the believer to the Divine. Attending Zaytuna College has given me this beautiful worldview that informs my understanding of all sciences, helping me navigate the intellectual realm while simultaneously nurturing the soul.”
Sahal Varwani , Class of 2024
