Sisters Instructor! ICP Quran Academy
Assalam Alaikum Community Members,
As part of our mission to make meaningful Quranic learning accessible to every member of our community, we are honored to introduce the ICP Quran Academy. This new initiative is designed to serve learners of all ages and backgrounds with high-quality, spiritually enriching instruction rooted in tradition and care.
The teacher for female students is Ustadhah Gheed Khattab.
Message from Ustadhah Gheed:
I hold a bachelors degree in microbiology, and it was through studying the wonders of creation that my heart was drawn to the words of the Creator. This journey led me to the field of Quranic learning and teaching. Along the way, I studied Tajweed and earned an advanced certification from the Ministry of Al-Awqaf and Religious Affairs in Amman, Jordan. I was later honored to receive an Ijazah in Quran recitation (narrated by Hafs from 'Asim), as well as an Ijazah in Qaeda Nuraniyah from the Al-Furqan Training Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
My learning continues with gratitudeearning a Diploma in the Skills of Learning and Acting Upon the Quran, participating in Prophetic Pedagogy professional development workshops, and receiving certifications in Building Arabic Language Foundations. Ive also benefited from courses and seminars in Tafseer methodology, Quranic Arabic, and effective teaching strategies.
With over 20 years of teaching experiencemost of it in Islamic education_Alhamdulillah_, I currently serve as a Quranic Studies teacher at the Universal Academy of Pittsburgh, a full-time Islamic school.
Sisters classes will take place Saturdays and Sundays starting May 3rd. May Allah make it easy for all the learners!
