Testimonials
Stories from students now studying at Al-Azhar
Thank you, Helwa Center, for introducing me to Al-Azhar. In two years of studying in Egypt, Al-Azhar has taught me that we are not only learning religious knowledge here, but also lessons for life that lead us to success. We have met remarkable scholars with deep expertise in their fields.
Al-Azhar is a bridge of knowledge, a centre of civilization, and a gathering place of Islamic scholars — so remarkable it is hard to put into words. Helwa Center was a great means for my journey to Egypt, giving me the chance to learn and absorb wisdom from the scholars and teachers.
As a village kid, I am so grateful to continue my studies at my dream place, Al-Azhar. When I left for Egypt I knew nothing about the academic world here. Thanks to Helwa Center and its teachers, I now understand the learning environment at Al-Azhar and truly enjoy learning from the scholars.
