Her desire to continue studying the Deen resulted in multiple trips back to Damascus\, interspersed between her high school\, college\, and medical studies. She was honored to receive Ijazah (authorization to teach) several branches of the Shari’ah sciences at the hands of many renowned scholars\, including many female scholars. She has received Ijazah to teach Tajwid in the Hafs and Warsh recitations from the late eminent Syrian scholar Shaykh Abu Hassan al-Kurdi. In addition to completing several advanced texts of the Shafi’i madhhab\, she is licensed to teach texts of Maliki fiqh\, Adab\, and Ihsan. Currently\, Ustadha Rania teaches online and local classes for The Rahmah Foundation\, Rabata\, and is on the faculty of Zaytuna College\, where she teaches courses in Shafi’i fiqh\, women’s issues in fiqh and has helped develop and co-direct the Tajweed and Hifz program. \n\n\n\nUstadha Rania is also a medical doctor with a specialty in Psychiatry. She completed her Psychiatric residency and fellowship training at Stanford University\, where she is currently on the faculty as a Clinical Instructor in the Stanford Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences department. Her medical interests include addressing mental health care concerns in the Muslim community- particularly that of Muslim women and girls. She has been awarded grants from the NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) to research this topic and has presented her findings at several medical conferences. Other ongoing endeavors include compiling manuscripts addressing female-related mental health and medical issues from a fiqh-oriented perspective. She currently serves as the Director of the Rahmah Foundation\, a non-profit organization that teaches Muslim women and girls traditional Islamic knowledge. In this capacity\, she also heads the Murbbiyah Mentoring Program\, which trains young women to teach and mentor Muslim girls and teens.

Generally considered a moderately challenging route\, it takes an average of 2 h 5 min to complete. This area is very popular for hiking\, mountain biking\, and running\, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. \n\n\n\nThis trail almost takes you to the top of Brushy Peak and has some fairly steep sections. Although the terrain is initially grassy and relatively smooth\, as the trail climbs\, it begins to pass through outcroppings of sandstone that add texture to the landscape. The large ponds at the base of the peak provide habitat for frogs\, turtles\, and the occasional San Joaquin kit fox. At the apex of the climb\, you are rewarded with views of the sweeping ranchland and rolling hills surrounding the park\, as well as the windmills of Altamont Pass. This trail is best when the grasses are green during or after the wet season. \n\n\n\nTrail Directions: From Laughlin Ranch Staging Area\, head uphill to find the trailhead marked Brushy Peak Loop Trail. Follow Brushy Peak Loop Trail for 1.16 miles until you reach a cattle gate. Cross through the gate\, then head west to stay on Brushy Peak Loop Trail for another 2.1 miles. Once you reach the junction with West Loop Trail\, take a left and continue downhill to finish the loop. Keep right around the cattle pond\, as there are many branching\, small trails. Continue for 0.93 miles\, then safely cross Laughlin Road to re-enter Laughlin Ranch Staging Area and finish your hike. \n\n\n\nExperience this 4.5-mile loop trail near Livermore\, California.
