Student Spotlight

Ayesha Gangat

Ayesha is juggling two big things right now, studying  Respiratory Therapy at Conestoga College and working her way through the  ‘Alimiyyah program. But for her, learning Islam isn’t just about taking classes, it’s about becoming someone who can really make a difference in her  community.

 

Over the years, she’s studied all kinds of traditional Islamic texts, from Qudoorito Mishkaat to Tafseer. But what really drives her is how she wants to use all this knowledge. She’s not just learning for herself, she’s learning so she can give back.

 

She’s already been helping out at her local masjid, organizing  events, setting up halaqas, and creating safe spaces where young Muslim girls can come together, talk about what really matters, and grow stronger in their faith. But she’s got bigger plans.

 

She wants to build programs that actually speak to what girls in the community are dealing with today, something real, inspiring, and consistent. Her goal is to help young Muslim girls feel confident, seen, and  connected to their deen in away that sticks.

 

This journey is personal. It started with wanting to honor her parents, but now it’s about lifting up the next generation, with heart, purpose, and the power of Islamic knowledge.
