Building Gratitude

I have known Imam Habib for the last 5 years through both his work at Colchester Mosque and his community efforts. I am grateful to know him not only as my imam but also as a confidante to whom I can turn to whenever I need any guidance. I initially had one to one Qur’an lessons from him. Those lessons were very holistic in nature. He taught me not only about recitation techniques, but also how to improve my eman as a whole. The key topics he covered included connecting to Allah, gratitude and transformation of Salah. I have benefitted immensely from his teaching. He has excellent character, high quality teaching skills, and strives to contribute to the community in any way he can.

My experience from Imam Habib's course has been phenomenal, because I have learnt a lot from the course. I feel more connected to my Salah by adopting the techniques that I learnt from the course These improvements that I have mentioned have been really helpful because I always make sure that I apply them in my daily Salah. My Salah used to be rushed before doing this course, which is not the case now because I have seen a significant amount of improvement in my salah . I see these improvements as a major milestone towards my journey in improving my connection with Allah. I would like to thank Imam Habib for the great effort in delivering a very well structured and valuable course.

Imam Habib’s transformation of salah course has been invaluable. It was a well structured course and personally I got inspired from the group to reach my potential! Salah is a must, a daily action performed but I have grown to learn that it’s not a performance rather as practice, practice to get closer to allah; not only by connecting with prayers, by increasing taqwa. It’s more than just 5 daily prayers* I would recommend to others this course, practicing Muslim or revert or just interested in Allah

I have recently completed Imam Habib's course on Salah. Working each day on a small part of my Salah made the work enjoyable instead of a chore. Slowing down each part made a dramatic difference to the overall quality of my pray. Wudu was my first major improvement but by no means the only one. My reciting improved and continues to do so enshallah. On the advice of Habib I kept notes on each little change and this helped to keep a track of my progress. I am looking forward to the next course

Brother Habib's course was perfectly delivered to me and gave me deep insight into my awareness of Allah and the concept of surrender

Taking Imam Habib's course helped me helped me reconnect with salah in multiple ways and has given me tools to know how I can further improve it going forward. I learnt to accept any mistakes I have in my prayers be accepting of them and take notice so that I can improve my prayers moving forward. I learnt that it is a process and every time my concentration and connection to Allah might not be as good as other times but by accepting there is room for improvement and taking notice in prayer helps me to improve over time
