Abdullina Aigul
Review of the course “Islamic Psychology” by Aigul Abdullina. I am grateful to Filyus Fliurovich Yakhin for the course, which helps to understand inner psychological processes and opens the door to Islamic psychology — the science of the soul. It highlights spiritual faculties, factors influencing mental state, and self-healing. The course covers medieval and contemporary Muslim scholars, includes original practice by the lecturer, and adds a therapeutic element.
Dzhunusbaeva Cholpon
The course “Foundations of Islam: Concepts and Application” revealed gaps in my knowledge of Islam. Thanks to the teacher’s professionalism, I was able to fill them and gain an academic understanding of key topics. This course is valuable to revisit periodically, regardless of one’s level of knowledge.
Dzhunusbaeva Cholpon
The course “Tafsir and Contemporary Muslim Exegesis” clarified the essence of tafsir—its etymology, methods, and importance. It leads to more conscious reading of the Qur’an and sparks interest in Arabic. The lectures felt like a journey through time with exegetes of past and present. The course complements “Foundations of Islam.” Grateful to God and the teacher!

Despite my weak English, I joined to overcome the crisis. Alhamdulillah, I gained knowledge from instructors and colleagues. These courses are a mercy from Allah. May He reward the IKI team for serving the Ummah.
