About Us
During the course of my degree, my interests began to converge on one key question: "How does a person in this age bring to light the essence of the Islamic tradition, which at its core is theocentric; about God, but yet at once, so concerned with humanity's journey to Him?" To me, the answer is held within the confines of the Qur'an, the Arabic language, the discipline of Islamic theology, and the jurisprudential tradition. This interest saw me sifting through numerous Arabic books in these disciplines, and through English academic papers. One take away from this research, which forms the basis of my intention to teach is: God subtly entreats us to begin being conscious of Him through the medium of His words in the salat and elsewhere, and therein begin to understand Him! Why is this important? Well, too often we are concerned with how much of the Quran we can unconsciously recite, the quantity, and not how well we understand the quality of God's speech! How do I intend to bridge this gap so that we can begin to have conversations with God (Munajat)? The answer is short and simple: Supplement our Arabic and Qur'an classes with classical and contemporary commentaries, and ponder on them. The goal of these classes is not the coverage of extensive material, rather, it is the deepening of what we will learn and what we already know.  Principal Work Experience:

Note: The delivery style of these class will vary depending on the client's proficiency in Arabic. Lesson's for non-Arabic speakers may be more summative, whereas those with Arabic ability will be granular and give me detail to the vocabulary that Islamic jurists may have used.
