"This class really opened my eyes up. Out of all the classes I have taken with AlMaghirb, I really loved this class the most and it was the one that encourage me to take more AlMaghrib classes and I will always appreciate the info I learned in this class!"

"I love Yasir Qadhi's presentation. Everything was made clear and precise. Never before had I been taught tauheed in such a detailed and enganging way. All the points were backed up by either Quran or hadith, and Yasir Qadhi even told us to ask him where he got the proofs if he didn't mention it."

"This class is just as the name says Light of Guidance. I learned that you can never know enough about Aqeedah, and that the more you go over it the stronger you become. It increased the standard I was aiming for, and I wanted to try harder, and be better. If this class is coming to your Town make dua to Allah to take you to the class, don't miss it. My heart flies with two wings, after the class you can see the before and after in everything I do."

"After the class, I realized how heavy our kalimah really is..it's more than just a statement, it's our declaration of faith and it's the base of our deen. Everything I learned, from tawheed ar-ruboobiyyah to the infamous jinns, had a profound effect on me. It made me see how easy it is to fall into shirk and how we need to safeguard ourselves from shirk by seeking knowledge. Masha'allah, Shaykh Yasir is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had. His speaking skills, his articulation, and his overall style of teaching kept me captivated throughout the entire two weekends. "

"This was my ultimate favourite class. Shaykh taught us the right our creator has over us. How to properly worship Him. It's the most beautiful and important knowlegde someone can pass on to another. Oh, and masha-Allah the teacher is just too awesome, ask anyone. "

"This is hands-down the most amazing exciting crucial and knowledge-packed class I have ever taken! EVERYONE should take this class. You learn so much from this class and you reach a totally new level of understanding in your religion. As with other al-maghrib instructors, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi will make it impossible for you to be bored for even a nanosecond! "

"Why Light of Guidance you ask? Because it shows you the beauty of Al Islaam, the bounties of Ar-Rahmaan, the dangers of shirk and bid'aah, and ultimately the path to Al Jannah. You are immersed in an environment of 'ilm, surrounded by others who are reaping the benefits. As for what follows, it is implementation of what has been learned, insightful discussions with fellow classmates, and an air of happiness and bliss. "

"This class changed my life. I think it's a must for most of us here. I'd recommend bringing non-Muslims even. The class fleshes out and powerful defines point for point the basics of Tawheed and our 'Aqeedah. This is the foundation of our entire deen and the best means of calling to the non-Muslims. "

"Everything the Shaykh said in this class had meaning...not a moment was wasted. It is so basic yet very misunderstood concept. Tawheed Your understanding of this concept can mean the difference between heaven and hell. "

"Alhamdolillah, I got to take both Aqeedah 101 and 102 this year -- talk about the twin towers of Iman! You need these classes. Read that again -- YOU need these classes. Aqeedah 101 gives you strength in tawheed of ruboobiyyah and uloohiyyah, and it gives you a foundation for tawheed of asmat wa sifat. But Aqeedah 102 is THE ROCKET SHIP of tawheed of asmat wa sifat."
