Dr. Yousef Al-Shehabi

Dr. Yousef AL-Shehabi is President, founder and Senior faculty member.

We envision the birth of an institution that can help in the revival of Islamic education using the Arabic language. This is a humble attempt to walk along the path of Bukhari and Muslim and the majority of Muslim scholars who did not come from an Arabic background but learned Arabic to understand and practice their faith, Islam. Muslim scholars new that they cannot learn Islam without learning Arabic. It is a religious duty and a practical matter to excel in Arabic to taste the fruits of Islamic knowledge.
