I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Markfield Institute. The institute successfully combined the traditional aspects of Islam with modern academia... One would definitely, without any doubt, benefit from any of the courses that the Markfield Institute has to offer.

Markfield really helped me in my studies and my work because it connected me with experienced lecturers.... There is an immense amount of benefit that people from a range of different backgrounds can derive from the institute.

Markfield Institute provides you the ability to critically look and investigate at the Islamic Sciences and Islamic Legal Scriptures and the Islamic Hadith Scriptures to get a critical understanding and apply it to the modern.

I found that MIHE is just the right place because they are so accommodating not only the teachers, the office staff but the students as well. Everyone is quite supportive and this is the best place to study.

Coming to a place where you can have the opportunity to learn about your religion without any form of bias, I think this is amazing and wonderful.

Markfield helps you understand western thought and as an Imam you are are able to explain that to your congregation also. Alhamdulillah, it will help you and it will help the people in front of you who are understanding the context in which we live.
