How the Institute works.

The most common questions, answered in plain words. If yours isn't here, email us.

What's actually in the membership?

+

A growing library of video courses, audio lectures, and PDF resources, plus a daily ayah and hadith sent to your phone every morning. Members also get the AI helper grounded in our own content, and members' price on books, retreats, and 1-on-1 sessions.

How is this different from YouTube?

+

Three things. First, every course is curated and complete, with worksheets, transcripts, and lesson-level note-taking. Second, you support the people creating it. Third, nothing is hidden behind algorithmic recommendations, you just learn.

What if I cancel?

+

Your access continues until the end of your billing period. After that, you keep any PDFs you've downloaded and any notes you've taken. We don't lock notes or written content behind the paywall after you leave.

Are the rulings binding?

+

No. The Institute teaches knowledge so you can think clearly and ask better questions. For binding rulings on your specific situation, consult a scholar directly. The AI assistant inside the platform follows this rule too.

Who teaches?

+

Each course names its instructor. Wherever we can, we work with scholars and practitioners who are also living the principles they teach. We're not interested in armchair teachers.

Can I download lessons for offline?

+

PDFs and worksheets, yes. Video and audio download for offline is on the roadmap and arrives once the player is fully native (planned for a future release).

Where does the money go?

+

Instructor honoraria, video production, content commissioning, server costs, and a portion to charity. Detailed allocation is published annually for members.

Is my data private?

+

Yes. We never sell or share member data. We use it only to personalise your experience inside the Institute. Read the full Privacy page for specifics.

How does the 7-day free trial work?

+

You enter your card, get full access to the entire library from day one, and pay nothing for 7 days. On day 8 your membership renews at $29/month. Cancel any time before then from your account and you're charged nothing. The daily ayah and hadith drop is included, alongside every course.
