She credits her Islamic journey to 1996\, when she attended Islamic classes in Hayward\, California. Her teacher and mentor\, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf\, has taught these classes since then. \nOne of her main focus areas is to help create a strong sisterhood for women in the community by leading halaqas (spiritual study circles) and support groups while offering individual spiritual counseling and mentoring. She noted that many of the spiritual problems encountered were reflective of the deep and complicated mental health issues of the community and would be better served by focusing on mental health. Thus\, along with her cousin Dr. Nafisa Sekandari\, they co-founded a website called Mental Health 4 Muslims (www.mentalhealth4muslims.com). \nUstadha Hosai is a freelance writer and editor who lectures on various Islamic/spiritual topics. \n– More Ustadha Hosai: http://mcceastbay.org/hosai \nDr. Imam Sherif Ahmed is the Co-Founder and the Dean of Tarbiya Institute’s Seminary.
