Salam Alaykum,

My name is Yusif, and I am a Canadian teacher of the Islamic sciences with a strong background in Arabic and classical Islamic studies. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations from the University of Toronto, which gave me a solid foundation in the languages, history, and cultures of the Muslim world.

After graduating, I moved to Egypt in 2018 to immerse myself in the Arabic language and Islamic sciences, and I have been living and studying here ever since. I completed Fajr Institute’s Arabic program in Cairo as the top‑performing student, and I now teach Arabic alongside Qur’ān and ḥadīth to students around the world.

For the past three years, I have worked professionally as an Arabic–to–English translator of Islamic texts, which has helped me bridge classical scholarship with modern audiences. I have been teaching Qur’ān online to students in the United States and Canada for over eight years, and I also teach Arabic and ḥadīth in both one‑on‑one and group settings.

I hold an ijāzah in the Ten Qirāʾāt (ten canonical Qur’ānic recitations), and I am committed to teaching Qur’ān, Arabic, and the Islamic sciences with precision, clarity, and care.

Languages I speak and teach:

Arabic (Modern Standard and classical fluency)

English (native‑level Canadian)

Subjects I teach:

Qur’ān (beginner to advanced, Tajwīd, and Qirāʾāt, including the Ten Qirāʾāt)

Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic, Qur’ānic Arabic, and foundational grammar)

Hadith and basic Islamic studies (for students seeking to deepen their knowledge) Show Less
