Center for Higher Islamic Learning

Fall 2025

With hearts full of gratitude, SALAM Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the blessed launch of the SALAM Center for Higher Islamic Learning, a long-cherished vision that has now come to fruition.

This milestone is not ours alone; it is yours. Through your generosity, volunteerism, and steadfast support, you have helped lay the foundation for what is now becoming a beacon of learning and growth for our community. What began as a dream more than 15 years ago with the inauguration of our Masjid and Center for Higher Islamic Learning building is now blossoming into a new chapter of SALAM education. The Center is now fully up and running with the official opening of its first program, Hikmah Seminary, during the week of September 8, 2025.

Hikmah Seminary will offer a range of English language transformative courses taught by our own local scholars:

Dr. Khalid Sayedi will teachFoundations of Islamic Sciences.
Dr. Imam Sherif Ahmed will teachThe Art of Dhikr and Dua.
Dr. Alyaa Elramady will teachIntroduction to Aqeedah.
Ustadh Abass Darab, who will be joining SALAM as its full-time Lead Imam, will teachSeerah: The Life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

In addition, four Arabic language courses, the first in what may be the only Arabic-language seminary program on the West Coast, will be led by Shaykh Saad ElHelaly:

|Quranic Sciences

|Introduction to Hadith Sciences

|Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence

|Faith-Based Education

This is the fruit of the seeds you planted. Your past contributions made this moment possible, and now we warmly invite you to be among the first to experience the knowledge and barakah that you helped bring to life. Whether by enrolling in a course, encouraging your family and friends to join, or supporting these programs with your continued duas, you remain an integral part of this journey.

We ask Allah SWT to place endless barakah in your support, to accept your contributions as sadaqah jariyah, and to make this Center for Higher Islamic Learning a source of beneficial knowledge for generations to come.
