Our Team
Shaykh Qutaibah J. Abbasi
Executive Director
Shaykh Qutaibah was born in Ames, Iowa, to Dr. JaniAlam Abbasi and Mrs. Mussarat Sultana (may Allah have mercy on them both) as the eighth of nine children, walhamdulillah. Due to his strong thirst for knowledge and spirituality, Shaykh Qutaibah began his studies from a very young age by memorizing the Quran with its word-to-word meaning under the wing of his father.
Shaykh Qutaibah has been the student and mentee of many prominent and contemporary scholars, but primarily that of the sheikh Dr. Ibrahim Dremali. He firmly believes that the process of seeking knowledge and gaining the wisdom thereof is an ever continuing process. As such, he continually treads that path and has committed himself to doing so as long as he is able.
Shaykh Qutaibah also serves as the Resident Scholar of the Southern Dallas Muslims Association.
