I perceive myself as a passionate and determined individual with a strong desire to assist people, whether their needs pertain to matters of faith (Deen) or the worldly aspects of life (Dunya). While my primary focus centers on youth development and leadership, my perspective is more comprehensive. It encompasses the entire community because, more often than not, it is the community that requires attention and care. Growing up in the Western world as a native Arab has granted me a unique perspective, one that motivated me to pursue Islamic Studies at a professional institution later in life.

My inspiration to undertake this path arose from my own challenging experiences as a teenager in the West. Whether it was the absence of adequate mental health support within the Muslim community during times of depression, the struggle to find the right guidance and someone to confide in, or the realization that many of our younger brothers and sisters were neglected and unheard, I felt compelled to find solutions for those facing difficulties.

Focus Area
I have a strong passion for youth and like-minded adults dedicated to empowering the younger generation. Raised in the West after being born in the Middle East, I deeply understand the unique challenges they face.
My extensive background includes both volunteer and paid roles as a community worker and part-time Imam. As a teacher, my main expertise lies in Islamic Studies, with a particular focus on preparing future International Quran Competitors. I hold a GradDip in Arts and a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering.
I excel in teaching hard sciences, including Physics and Mathematics, as well as history both online and in a secular homeschooling environment. Additionally, I possess a Full Ijazah in Hafs Recitation and have pursued advanced Qiraat studies through Dar-AlQuran online in Gaza. I'm currently pursuing a Masters of Islamic Studies at the International Open University to further enhance my qualifications in Sharia.
My teaching style is adaptable, catering to both personalized individual classes and group settings. I prioritize small ratios, often with emphasis on co-teaching in Halaqa sessions to both increase teacher-to-student ratio and to foster student growth and train future Imams, teachers, and leaders. We offer a mix of lectures and group discussions, which have consistently yielded successful outcomes. Whether you are after a short course, discussion oriented classes or traditional text-book settings for your studies, all options are for you to choose.
For sisters, I typically prefer group settings or arrangements with a trusted individual nearby. However, I'm open to special or urgent circumstances and can make accommodations as needed. Your learning experience is our priority, and the choice is yours."
