For nearly 20 years\, she has been actively involved in the Bay Area and southern California Muslim community\, working and volunteering for many notable organizations. Learn more about her at http://hosaimojaddidi.com \n– More Ustadha Hosai: http://mcceastbay.org/hosai \nUstadha Hosai Mojaddidi was born in Afghanistan and moved to the United States with her family at age two. She credits her Islamic journey to the year 1996 when she began attending Islamic classes in Hayward\, California. These classes were taught by her teacher and mentor since then; Shaykh Hamza Yusuf. \nOne of her main areas of focus is to help create a strong sisterhood for the women in the community by leading halaqas (spiritual study circles) and support groups whilst offering individual spiritual counseling and mentoring. She noted that many of the spiritual problems encountered were actually 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 also a freelance writer and editor and lectures on various Islamic/spiritual topics. \nQari Noman Hussain serves as the Associate Director and a faculty member at the Qalam Seminary. He was born and raised in Chicago\, IL. Upon completing the memorization of the Quran\, Qari Noman traveled to South Africa to further his education in the Islamic sciences at Darul Uloom Zakariyya. Graduating at the top of his class in 2009\, he earned authorizations (ijazāt) in several Islamic sciences\, specializing in Quranic sciences such as tajwīd and the ʿasharah qirāʾāt (ten modes of recitation). \nFor the past 15 years\, Qari Noman has dedicated himself to serving the Chicago and Milwaukee communities. In addition to his roles as an Imam and Resident Scholar\, he has served as a hifẓ teacher\, high school instructor\, chaplain\, and leader of interfaith groups and civic coalitions. Qari Noman is also the founder of Oasis Chicago\, a space committed to creating social-spiritual experiences for young professionals and families.
