Testimonials
“Bismillah. We had been trying for quite a while to set up a primary Muslim School for our children in Andalusia, in the South of Spain. Our main problem was finding or creating a curriculum that was solid, encompassing and fitrah-based, and at the same time could be accepted by the Spanish authorities. This was an absolute must for us to become an accredited primary school in Spain - so people could send their children to our school. We were at the end of our wits, when Allah sent the principals of Revival Ihya our way. Our experience with them has been spectacular: they have provided guidance, support, they have been constantly available when needed, and at the same time have been extremely respectful and understanding with our constraints. Setting up a school can be a daunting project, and they have been an invaluable support in bringing us close the very finish line, insha'allah. We can't recommend them enough.”

“Ihya Revival has afforded us a comprehensive and transformative model for holistic education with Islam at its center. The curriculum materials are inspiring and engaging, the methods are impactful, and the underlying philosophy is aligned with the fitra. Every day with the Ihya curriculum is a new page in the epic of each student’s spiritual and intellectual journey; the mind grows through wonder and reflection, and the soul rises through dhikr and striving for excellence!”

“Alhamdulillāh, working with the Ihya School curriculum committee has truly transformed my teaching. Their training did not just give me resources — it reshaped the way I understand education especially after coming from public schools. Through Ihya’s classical model and the core values of Iman, Tafakur, and Quawah, I learned how to bring depth, purpose, and spiritual beauty into every subject I teach.”
The principles of Wonder & Reflect, Imitate, Embody, and Inquire have become the heart of my classroom. They guide how I design lessons, how I observe my students, and how I help them recognize Allah’s signs within Arabic, Math, Nature, and character Development. Ihya helped me connect subjects that once felt separate — now everything is unified with meaning, intention, and love for Allah’s creation.
Working with the committee has made me a more reflective, confident, and grounded educator. I feel supported, mentored, and inspired to continue growing. Their vision has not only elevated my teaching, but also enriched the spiritual and academic lives of my students.
I am deeply grateful to be part of this journey. Jazākum Allahu khayran for dedicating your time, heart, and expertise to empower teachers and uplift Islamic education.”

“This past summer, I had the honor of participating in the Revival Ihya teacher training program, and it has truly transformed my understanding of education and my practice in the classroom, and the way my students learn. Coming from a traditional teaching background, I often felt limited by a system focused on memorization and grades. Through the classical model, I learned how to mentor students into becoming independent thinkers; students who analyze, question, and seek knowledge for its own sake. The training showed me how all subjects connect to Allah, making learning meaningful and spiritually rooted. Removing the pressure of grades and replacing them with one-on-one mentorship drastically improved my students’ confidence, independence, and retention. I have seen them grow into analytical, curious learners who no longer learn just to pass a test, but because they genuinely want to understand.”

“Salam, here is my testimonial inshallah: Coming from a public-school background, I started the Revival Ihya teaching training expecting to learn new strategies for teaching, but I left with an entirely new perspective on the education system in general. The training was thorough and reminded me that learning is not about racing through standards or preparing for tests, but about nurturing the whole child. Revival Ihya helped me understand how much children benefit from a holistic, spiritually grounded, and stress-free approach to learning. Having a student be happy to learn and not worry about a test grade is very freeing, because you can see they are more caring about what they want to learn. The training reignited my passion for teaching and reshaped how I view my role as an educator. I really had to unlearn everything I learned for the past 10 years but I am truly grateful for the clarity and purpose this training brought into my teaching practice. It is a beautiful way to shape the young mind and it has shown how fulfilling teaching can be.”
