We are excited to share the latest episode of Talking With Teachers, where Dr. Abdullah bin Hamid Ali hosts a thought-provoking conversation with Imam Faheem Shuaibe. In each episode, we explore the journeys, influences, and insights of notable Muslim scholars, teachers, and leaders.

This episode features Imam Faheem Shuaibe, Resident Imam at Waritheen Mosque (Masjidul Waritheen) in Oakland, California. From his roots as a minister in the Nation of Islam to his transformation as a lifelong student of Imam W. D. Mohammed (ra), Imam Faheem shares his unique journey and perspectives on American Muslim identity and community building. He is also the founder of the Muslim American Research Institute Advocating Marriage (M.A.R.I.A.M.) and the Sacred Life Project.

Imam Faheem’s work extends beyond the mosque. As a consultant to esteemed organizations, including the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, UC Berkeley, and Yale Law School, he brings a wealth of experience and vision to a variety of fields.
