Shaykh Gyasi Mckinzie
========================
A co-founder of Embrace, Shaykh Gyasi Mckinzie was born in Washington D.C. and raised in Memphis, TN. He accepted Islam in 1991 while he was still in high school. He is a graduate from the Islamic University of Madinah, Faculty of Dawah and Usool ul Deen, and also holds a Masters degree from Vanderbilt University in Theological Studies.
He has over 20 years of experience providing Islamic leadership to schools and organizations. Besides having served as Imam of the Muslim Society of Memphis and as chaplain at two federal prisons, he has been the Youth Director of the Youth and Dawah Center in Memphis, TN. He has also served as an Islamic Studies teacher and school counselor at Pleasant View School and the Islamic school of Irving respectively.
He currently works as Director of Skills Development and Livelihood at Helping Hand for Relief and Development, as well as serves as the Director of Education for Embrace.
We invite the entire community to join us on Friday May 16th, for a special evening to honor and thank Sh. Faqih for his years of service at MIC. There will be food trucks, dessert, and a program after 'Isha. Bring your family and be part of this memorable night.
Sh. Mohammed Faqih joined the Memphis Islamic Center in July 2019 and quickly became an integral part of our community, serving not only MIC but also the broader Memphis Muslim community with dedication and heart.
He stepped in during a critical time, just months before the pandemic drastically altered our lives. Through his steady leadership, Sh. Faqih guided us during those uncertain times, helping us stay connected to our faith while at home, and later, as we returned to the masjid safely.
Throughout his time at MIC, Sh. Faqih played a vital role in moving our community forward and took part in many of our communitys important milestones, including the long-awaited move into our new facility and the opening of our latest expansion. His vision, passion, and unwavering commitment have left a lasting impact.
Though he is now stepping away from his professional role at MIC to pursue other opportunities, we are grateful that he and his family will continue to call Memphis home. His love for this community has been evident in every khutbah, every program, and every heartfelt dua.
May Allah (SWT) reward Sh. Faqih and his family for their tireless service, their sacrifices, and their sincere efforts for the sake of Allah and our community.
JOIN US: Friday May 16th, after 'Isha
