Shaykh Abdallah memorized the Quran at the age of 16 and became a world renowned Qari at the age of 18. Upon memorizing the Quran, he received his ijaza from Shaykh Muhammad Sukkar, who held the highest ijaza in the world before he passed (rahimahullah). Shaykh Abdallah studied under some of the worlds most prestigious scholars for over two decades in Syria and has travelled all over the world to share his beautiful recitation and mastery of the Quran.
Imam Ahmad Deeb has been serving communities from an early age under the training and mentorship of his father, shaykh Abdallah Deeb. After finishing his bachelor's in Psychology, he traveled to Cape Town, SA, and completed formal seminary training. He then completed his M.A. in Islamic Studies and Leadership at Bayan Islamic Graduate School. His thesis topic was Re-forming Islamic Reform: Ma'loom min al-Dn bil Darrah, the Theology of Law, and the Epistemological Limits of Ijtihd. His academic interests and love of community work led him to community psychology, where he is a doctoral candidate in the field. He is the co-founder of Pillars Seminary and currently serves as Imam and pastoral counselor for Shifaa Community.
