Last updated: 15 November 2026
These terms cover:
- the Academy website at https://academyofislam.com and
- the Academy for Learning Islam app for iPhone and Android (
com.academyofislam.app).
By using the site or the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.
Privacy is separate: Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
The Academy for Learning Islam is a Canadian registered charity. We teach Islam and publish reflections, duʿās, courses, resources, and a small shop.

2. The website and the app are not the same
Website. You can read public pages without an account. If you send a form, register for a course, subscribe to email, donate, or buy from the shop, you are dealing with us (and, for payments, with Stripe, PayPal, or CanadaHelps).
App. The app is a free reader. It shows public Academy content. It does not create an account and does not take payments. Shop, courses, Hadith, donate, and contact open in your browser. Those sites have their own terms as well as these.
Apple’s and Google’s terms also apply to the app from their stores.
3. What you may do
You may:
- read and use the public content for personal learning, teaching in a class, or family use
- share a link to a page or to the app
- quote short passages with credit to the Academy
You may not:
- copy large parts of the site or app, or our course materials, to republish, sell, or train a product without our written permission
- scrape or bulk-download the site or the content API in a way that harms the service
- try to break into the site, the shop, or other people’s accounts
- use the site or app for spam, abuse, or anything illegal
- suggest we endorse you, your class, or your product unless we have said so in writing
The Qur’an and hadith are religious texts. Our translations, reflections, notes, layout, recordings, and software are ours (or licensed to us). Do not treat “it is a verse” as permission to copy a whole book, recording, or course.
4. Content and accuracy
We work carefully. Reflections, fiqh notes, course pages, and dates can still contain mistakes or go out of date. This is educational material, not a fatwa service, and not legal, medical, or financial advice. For a personal ruling, ask a qualified scholar.
We may edit or take down content at any time.
5. Courses
A course registration on the website is for that offering (dates, fee, and teacher as listed). Pay the fee through the form unless we have said the seat is complimentary.
We may cancel or reschedule a class. If we cancel and you have paid, we will refund or offer another option. If you need to withdraw, email us — we will say what we can do for that term. We do not promise a recording of every session.
Allergy or medical notes on a form are only to run the class safely.
6. Shop
Books and other products are sold on the website shop, not in the app. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless marked otherwise. We will try to fulfil what you ordered. If something is damaged, missing, or not what you paid for, email [email protected] with the order details.
Card payment is handled by the provider shown at checkout, not stored as a full card number on our site.
7. Donations
Donations are voluntary. They are not a purchase of app features. Canadian tax receipts follow CRA rules for eligible gifts. PayPal, Stripe, and CanadaHelps process some gifts on their own pages.
8. Email and forms
If you subscribe to the Friday reflection, we will email that list until you unsubscribe. Contact and registration forms are so we can reply and run the program. Do not submit someone else’s information unless you are a parent or guardian registering a student.
9. The app, in brief
- No login.
- Content comes from our public website API.
- A weekly reminder, if you turn it on, is scheduled on your device. You can turn it off in More, or uninstall the app.
- Reading progress and cached titles stay on the device until you clear app data or uninstall.
- We do not promise the app will always be available or error-free. The website is the full catalogue if the app is down.
10. Other sites
Links to the Hadith library, payment pages, video hosts, or anyone else leave our service. Their terms and privacy rules apply there. We are not responsible for their pages.
11. Children
The app is a general reader. It is not a children’s social app and it does not collect a child’s name or email. A parent or guardian who registers a child for a course does so on the website form.
12. Availability and liability
We provide the site and app as is. We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted or free of errors.
To the extent Canadian law allows, the Academy is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for a decision you make based on something you read here. For a paid course or shop order, our responsibility is limited to the amount you paid us for that item, except where the law does not let us limit it (including fraud or personal injury we cause).
Nothing here limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction, except that you may use any consumer forum the law gives you.
14. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top will change. If you keep using the site or app after an update, the new terms apply. For a material change that needs consent, we will ask.
