Name: Mohammad Ahmad Khan

Recipient Type: Scholarship Recipient

Recipient Year: 2013

School Name: Zaytuna College

Description: I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Due to the primitive stage of my local Muslim community and thereby, the lack of proper facilities, in order to pursue Qur’anic studies, I went to the prestigious Dar Al-Uloom, in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I took the tutelage of the distinguished and now late, Qari Muhammad Siddiq. I learned the fundamentals of the art of recitation and returned to Houston in 2007. After my return, I became the primary Imam at a local mosque. For my Qur’anic studies, I learned from a plethora of Master Qaries who taught me various methodologies of teaching. During my ISF-supported studies at Zaytuna, I gained a holistic understanding of both the west and the Islamic tradition, in order that I may properly lead and educate my community.
