Guest Speakers
Imam Hidayatullah Sherzad - Stouffville Islamic Center
Imam Hidayatullah Sherzad was raised in Toronto, Canada. From his teenage years, he developed a keen interest in Islamic Knowledge. Hence, after completing high school, he devoted the next eight years to seeking Islamic Knowledge. He started his initial studies of Arabic and Islamic Sciences in Canada. He then traveled to the United Kingdom to continue his studies, enrolling in the extensive Alimiyah program consisting of the study of Arabic grammar, Arabic literature, Islamic Jurisprudence, Islamic theology, Qur’anic exegesis, and early Hadith studies. He completed his final year of Hadith Study in South Africa where he graduated from the Alimiyah program and achieved numerous authorizations in the study of Hadith. He further specialised in Fiqh through an intensive Darul Iftaa program. In addition to completing his Alimiyah and Iftaa studies, he also completed a BA and Honours in Islamic Studies from the University of South Africa (UNISA).
Since returning to Canada in 2013, Imam Hidayatullah has been actively engaged with the Muslim community in various capacities. His areas of interest include teaching, mentoring, counselling and working with youth. For the past five years, he has been serving as an Imam for the Muslim community of Stouffville, Ontario. He teaches Arabic at the Islamic Institute of Toronto. While serving the Muslim community, he felt the need to bridge his knowledge of Islamic Sciences and Spirituality with modern day spiritual care and psychotherapy. This led him to begin and complete his Masters in Pastoral Studies and Psychotherapy at Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto. Since completing his studies, he has been actively working with a Medical Clinic in the capacity of a Counselor and Psychotherapist (Q). Currently, he is a member of CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and is in the process of becoming a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario).
