* Ustadh Abdul Karim Yahya

Born and raised in Berkeley, California, Ustadh Abdul Karim Yahya,

by the Grace of Allah, embraced Islam in 1989 in his home city. In 1996,

having been inspired to study religious knowledge by the books of

Imam Ghazali (Allah be pleased with him) and the call for the revival

of Islamic knowledge, he traveled with his family to Damascus, Syria

where he embarked on a course of active pursuit of knowledge.

During his two-year stay in Damascus he focused his attention on the

acquisition of an elementary knowledge of the Arabic language and

Quranic recitation, studying the latter under the tutelage of the highly

respected Shaykh of Qur'an Abu Anas (Allah preserve him) at the

Rawda Mosque in Damascus. Thereafter he moved on with his

family to Tarim, Hadramaut where he currently resides.

** Ustadh Ibrahim Osi-Efa

Ustadh Ibrahim Osi-Efa was born and raised in Liverpool, England.

He was blessed with the opportunity to study several classical disciplines

at the hands of some of the holders of the tradition such as Murabit al-Haj,

al-Habib Umar b. Hafiz and Shaikh Hassan al-Hindi. Initially studying for

three years in Syria and Mauritania, Ustâdh Ibrahim was then blessed with

the opportunity to spend over six years in the illuminated city of Tarim,

Hadramaut where he studied under the qualified hands of teachers such

as al-Habib Kazim al-Saqqaf, al-Habib ‘Ali al-Jifri and

al-Shaikh ‘Umar Husain al-Khatib. He was one of the founders of several

Islamic initiatives including the Ibn Abbas Institute, Starlatch Press, Badr

Language Institute and the Greensville Trust. He currently resides in Liverpool,

England with his wife and two children.
