Usaid is on a mission, to help his community fall in love with Islam and actually understand it. He’s deep into his Islamic studies right now, taking courses in Fiqh, Usul al Fiqh, Hadith, and Arabic through the Sacred Texts Institute, Cordoba Academy, and private lessons. He’s serious about knowledge, and even more serious about passing it on.

By day, he’s a high school teacher. Outside the classroom, he’s running extra sessions for students who want to go  deeper, teaching Hadith, leading Halaqas during Umrah, and sparking real conversations about the Prophet ﷺ, the Sahaba, and what it means to live this deen. He and his wife even run a Telegram group helping people in their circle find  legitimate Islamic courses.

But his dreams go way beyond that.

He sees a big gap in the community, especially when it  comes to basic Islamic education, and he wants to change that. He’s planning  to start with local Fard Ayn classes and eventually open an Islamic academy for students who really want to take their knowledge to the next level. Long term, he wants to build sustainable institutions, maybe even set up awqaaf to  support those in need, including our Imams.

He’s doing the work and he’s just getting started.
