What His Students Say:

“I am so happy that I learned it with Shaykh Ashraf because he is a true scholar with authentic, reliable knowledge. He is extremely organized and very intelligent. It was very obvious that a lot of thought, effort, and time went into creating this course so that it would be easy for the students to understand this difficult science. In the live sessions, he constantly quizzed the students and checked their knowledge before proceeding to teach new material. He was very encouraging towards seeking knowledge for the sake of Allah and he, himself, serves as an example for all of us. I can't wait to take the follow-up course.”

“Dr Ashraf ensured that the live sessions and forums stayed on track by continually reminding us of the purposes and what types of questions can and cant be answered. Using a case study that flowed through the semester also helped to cement the understanding of the concepts.”
Mohamed Elbotaty
Business Developer, Sydney, Australia

“This is my second course with Dr. Ashraf and I am once again extremely impressed. He is excellent at conveying knowledge in such an organized manner that it would be hard for a student to not do well in his classes; the information was presented very clearly through the use of diagrams, charts, and lists. The thing that I really loved is he made us analyze real contracts that he received himself and taught us how to practically apply the principles taught in class at first hand. This course was way more than I expected. I felt like I was a business woman! Every question was given a detailed response, and he really emphasized the importance of following the Sacred Law with business transactions and trade. Through his organizational skills and presentation of the knowledge, Dr. Ashraf has definitely raised the bar for the expectations one should find in a teacher, especially when learning online.”
