Ustadh As'ad’s journey began from home where he was under the guidance of his noble parents whom are both scholars & educators, and have been serving in Sheffield for over twenty years. He began studying at a very young age and completed the memorisation of the Quran alongside studying other foundational sciences. ⁣⁣After achieving exceptional GCSEs and A-levels, he left home to spend six years at Jamia al-Karam wherein he began studying the traditional sciences attaining an excellent grounding in all areas, ranging from grammar, logic, rhetoric, Islamic law, jurisprudence, it’s principles, theology, philosophy, psychology, etc; all the way to the culmination of studying the art of the issuance of legal rulings in his sixth year where he specialised in Hanafi Fiqh. ⁣He then went on to pursue further studies in Cairo with the teachers at Jamia al-Azhar, and then travelled to the Blessed City of the Prophet ‎ﷺ for the same cause. ⁣He classically trained with the scholars there as a marriage counsellor, mentor and a life coach. ⁣Ustadh As'ad has been granted a licence to teach, recite and pass on the Holy Quran from teachers in Egypt (Cairo), Saudi (Medina) & Pakistan (Lahore), which also qualifies him as a Qari (expert reciter of the Holy Quran). He has been a public motivational speaker for the last 8 years and due to his multi-lingual skills, has successfully been able to deliver lectures and seminars across the globe. He is very active online & aims to create a platform for those who are unable to/feel uncomfortable to access teachers or their local Imams. All this augments his long term goal: to teach, inspire and shape the future generations with the love of this deen. He currently teaches the traditional sciences at the Imdadiyyah institute both in his home-city of Sheffield and online & also travels around for the same cause. As well as this, he serves as the Medology Imam – playing a pastoral role to a team of over 100 medical & dental students across the UK.
