What Her Students Say:

“Ustazah Sumayya is a very knowledgeable teacher. She was very strict with our recitation and the way we articulated our hurufs. It can be hard at times, however, I just have to let go of my ego and just keep on telling myself this is the only way I will ever learn properly. She was however, so wonderful and full of praises if we got it right. Not many Tajweed teachers touch my heart my Ustaza Sumayya really did. Under her guidance, my pronunciation and recitation improved!”
