Testimonials

What students are saying:

“Subhallah. The webinar beautifully highlighted how vital and pivotal role women have played in defining Islam as we know it. Each session shed a new light at the verses I've been going through since childhood. The class has got me thinking deeply about what femininity means in Islam and in life general. I discussed the content with my family and it started so many constructive discussions. The course has undoubtedly brought me closer to the Quran and with what it means to be a muslim woman in the modern world. Shukran.”

About Your Instructor

Farhat Ahmed Shamsi

Guest Instructor

Ustadha Farhat Ahmed Shamsi began her journey with the Quran after she first began feeling a sense of frustration at not being able to understand the Speech of Allah. Her frustration stemmed from having a filter of someone else’s choice of words between her and God.

By the Grace of Allah she was guided to a course of knowledge, which centered on the language and understanding of every single ayah and surah in the Divine Revelation. A personally challenging journey began in a turbulent time for Muslims in America. Her journey became a passion and source of fulfillment; she had never imagined teaching anyone else what she was learning, except perhaps sharing it with her family.

One day a friend requested Farhat Ahmed to teach her whatever she was learning, and then the student also became a teacher. Her adult study circles grew as she also brought in Islamic educational reforms in her local community and introduced Qur’an tafseer classes for high school and college students. Having studied under highly regarded world-renowned scholars, Farhat Ahmed continues as a student of knowledge, instructor and public speaker with students here in the U.S.A. and abroad.
