Attending the naat classes, taught to us by our extremely talented teachers, has helped me in ways I couldn't imagine. I'm proud to say my confidence has grown massively as I can now recite anywhere in front of anyone to a higher standard than ever before. Having such great teachers not only helps us vocaly, but mentally, as we are taught about the deeper parts into naat khawani i.e. adab when reciting, different styles of reciting, meanings and moods of a naat etc. Amazing work by them Ma'Sha'Allah.
My son has attended the classes for a short period of time in comparison to others. However, during this time he has developed further interpersonal skills, such as confidence and able re-check his own work by going online to listen to the original naat and then applying this to his learning. He seems very happy after the class and is very eager to recite to us on what he’s learnt! Thank you Umar for helping him in every way. I hope he develops more in the coming years.
I have enjoyed attending the classes as I feel it has developed and boosted my confidence in reciting different types of naaths. I have learnt different techniques to project my voice and tone with the help of my talented teachers!
I have built my confidence in reading naats and am in a comfortable zone where I can recite any type of kalaam. I very much enjoy my time with the naat class.
Rehaan and Musaddiq have always been looking forward in attending the naat classes every week. They gained a lot of confidence in reciting in front of a crowd. Most importantly they are learning what naat khawani is really about. These classes are very educating because they not only focus on the voice, but also look at the meanings behind the naats. Really appreciate the help of the teachers in helping the children to improve and gain more knowledge. May Allah reward the teachers for all their hard work and efforts. Ameen
I have gained more confidence to pray naats which were much harder for me before. I have improved my tuning in classical kalaams. Also the classes have taught me a lot in terms of adab and manners.
Without a doubt Sudais has grown in confidence but more importantly he has started to grasp the deep meaning behind what he is reciting and why it was written in that particular style. Understanding the powerful message has without a shadow of doubt has increased his love for our beloved Messenger of Allah. As a parent it is of utmost importance to instil that connection and love at a young age and we've truly experienced that in our child whilst attending these classes. He has found a new yearning to go and visit RasoolAllah and recite in the courtyard of the beloved Insha 'Allah
Its been an excellent environment and lots of help we had which enable us to take part in the naat competition, Mohsin made it semi final, couldn't ask for more but we still need to go further and are desperately waiting to join the class again to gain lot more success and blessing by reading naats. Thanks once again for all of your support.
