Unique Value Proposition:

10 years ago, Allah (SWT) guided her to start learning his book. It wasn’t an easy journey for her.

Quran school was very far from home. She used to travel every week to four cities for a period of 5 years for her Ijazah training. These challenges made her comprehend the process involved in first obtaining this sacred knowledge and then how to maintain it. This experience made me determined to assist anyone who wanted to learn the Holy Quran in the easiest possible manner.

Thus, she started teaching students while doing her Ijaza.

Obtaining her Ijaza license was testing, difficult yet enjoyable. Managing time well helped me achieve goals in both learning and teaching experiences.

Upon receiving her Ijazah certificate in January 2020. she decided to create an Alimaan Online school.
