In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

All praise is due to Allah who has honored us with the service of His Book and His religion. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions.

My name is Eslam Ahmed Mohammed Rakha, and by the grace of Allah I have been blessed to serve as an Imam, Khateeb, and teacher of Islamic sciences for many years.

Alhamdulillah, I hold multiple Ijazahs and certifications in the memorization and recitation of the Qur’an in various Qira’at, as well as Ijazahs in the noble Sunnah.

I earned a PhD and Master’s degree in the Qur’an Department from the Islamic University of Minnesota, and a Bachelor’s degree in Arabic Language and Islamic Studies from the Faculty of Dar Al-Uloom, Cairo University, in addition to other advanced Islamic certificates.

By the favor of Allah, I have more than 20 years of experience serving as an Imam, Khateeb, and teacher of Qur’an, Islamic Studies, and the Arabic language in Egypt, Bahrain, and the United States. I have also served as a lecturer in Islamic Studies and Da‘wah at the university level.

Alhamdulillah, I am fluent in Arabic and English, and I have experience teaching children and adults, Arabs and non-Arabs, while incorporating modern technology in education and communication.

I am committed to serving the community by teaching the Qur’an, Islamic knowledge, and the Arabic language, supporting families and youth, and helping strengthen the connection between the community and the teachings of Islam.

May Allah bless our community, unite our hearts upon goodness, guide us to what pleases Him, and accept our deeds, Amen 🤲

Your brother,
Eslam Ahmed Rakha
Imam of ISCC
