About the Teacher
Ustadh Yahya Rhodus was born and raised in America's Midwest. At the age of 19, he became Muslim in the San Francisco Bay Area and began studying with Sheikh Hamza Yusuf and other distinguished scholars visiting from Mauritania. In 1998, he traveled to West Africa to further his studies of the Islamic sciences. He then moved to Yemen to continue his studies. Recently, he returned from his studies overseas to serve as a full-time teacher at Zaytuna Institute. He is currently pursuing a PhD from the University of California - Berkeley and also teaches for the Taaleef Collective. He is known for articulating classical Islamic knowledge in a manner that resonates in the modern age.
"There is a lot of pain in the modern world - a feeling that something has gone wrong. Islam allows us to reconnect with our Creator and to know reality as it truly is. The greatest blessing of faith is to have true knowledge of how things truly are."
