Who verifies the teachers?
Ta'dib works with a network of recognised Islamic institutions to verify teacher credentials. Here's who they are and how the process works.
The verification principle
In traditional Islamic education, knowledge is transmitted through a verified chain — the isnad. A student's knowledge carries weight because it can be traced back through qualified teachers to primary sources.
Ta'dib applies this principle to the modern context. We do not verify teachers ourselves — we partner with the institutions that already have the authority and expertise to do so. Our role is to provide the infrastructure for those endorsements to be expressed digitally and made visible to learners.
Recognised verifying bodies
Islamic universities & colleges
UIAM, USIM, Kolej Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Ismail Petra
Degree and postgraduate graduates can be verified directly against institutional records.
Madrasah & pondok schools

State-issued Tauliah permits are the gold standard for verified teaching authority in Malaysia.

Masjid imams and teachers with formal appointments can be endorsed by their institution.
