All praise and gratitude is due to Allah ( ).  We seek His forgiveness and His guidance.

The Executive Board of the As-Siddiq Muslim Organization is pleased to announce that Shaykh Raihaan Habibulla will be joining Masjid As-Siddiq as an Assistant Imam and Youth Coordinator. Many of you know Shaykh Raihaan, as he grew up in our community. He and his family have long been dedicated contributors to Islamic education, charitable work, and dawah. Shaykh Raihaan, along with his wife Khadija and their daughter Yumnaa, resides in South Ozone Park, NY. Please join us in warmly welcoming them to our community.

Shaykh Raihaan Habibulla is an educated and contemporary Islamic lecturer and teacher. He possesses a strong foundation in both academic and Islamic knowledge. He began his undergraduate studies by earning a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Law from John Jay College in New York City. 

Shaykh Raihaan then took the bold step of continuing his education, graduating from Umm Al-Qura University in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, with a bachelor's degree in Arabic and Islamic Education. Most recently, he completed his master's degree in Comparative Laws, with a focus on Islamic laws, at the International Islamic University Malaysia. Throughout his educational journey, Shaykh Raihaan has been an active khateeb and teacher.

We look forward to Shaykh Raihaans contributions to the development of our youth and community at large.  May Allah bless our Imams and our community, increase us in knowledge of Islam that we put into practice, and forgive any shortcomings.
