Ustadha Rumaisa

TEACHER, FOUNDER & MENTOR

I am Umm Aicha Rumaisa. I lived and studied in Egypt for 13 years. Alhamdulillah. I completed memorization of the Quran at a young age by the permission of Allah  and have studied as well as memorized some of the recommended books (ie. Thalatul usool, Qawaid Al Arba, Forty Hadeeth, Bulough al-Maram, Bayqoniyah, Touhfatul Atfal, Jazzariyah, and Shatibiyah).

By the blessings and permission of Allah, approximately two years ago, I started my teaching journey in America and have been granted the ability to teach a variety of students of all ages. May Allah grant us all tawfeeq, solely for his sake and pleasure alone. Aameen.

From my passion and experience in of teaching knowledge, Nojoom Islamic Scholars Academy  (NISA) founded in 2019. NISA is a low-income Islamic school who provides home-school education for girls (grades K - 12) and boys (K only).  The children are taught secular education in addition to Quran, Arabic, Tajweed, Fiqh, Islamic Adab and more. Learn more about NISA

My aspiration, in sha Allah, is to teach as many students as I am able seeking the endless rewards of Allah, and I pray that some of my students will continue on in the path of learning and hopefully teaching at the Markaz inshaAllah to spread this knowledge as it should be. Ameen!
