Many thanks to all our super students for what they did last year. These students have shown astonishing dedication to the learning of the Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies; punctuality, hard work and commitment which were all crucial factors to their great success. Firdaws Academy wishes all students the best of luck.
The following are some of our super students&teachers, in 2026:

Al-Firdaws Academy was recommended to me by my sister because she said: “Why don’t you start reciting the Quran a few times a week, even if it is only thirty minutes per session?”
This made me realize that it was a good way to learn how to recite the Quran and remain consistent in staying connected to it. Then he mentioned a hadith: Narrated Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do good deeds properly, sincerely, and moderately, and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise. The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are regular and constant, even if they are few.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
The author then says: Alhamdulillah, it has now been almost two years since I began learning from my teacher, Ustaz Ahmad Bakry, who is based in Egypt through Al-Firdaws Academy.
May Allah reward him abundantly for everything he has taught me. He started by teaching me the fundamentals of pronunciation and Tajweed, and then gradually guided me through reciting the Arabic verses of the Quran. The best part about this academy is that it accommodates your own daily schedule. From struggling to read Surah Al-Baqarah—the second and longest chapter of the Quran—and only being able to recite a few verses, Alhamdulillah, with the help of Allah and my teacher, I was able to complete the recitation of the entire Quran after about a year and a half.
