Alhamdulillah, Ustadha Shamira is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Her teaching style is wonderful — it helped me remember what I learned and made even complex topics easy to understand. She also showed us how to apply fiqh in our daily lives, which made it so practical and relevant. Everything was amazing, alhamdulillah! JazakAllahu khayran for all your efforts, Ustadha Shamira.

"Ustadha Shamira has such a relatable personality and brings that into the classroom. Her classes are fun, relatable, and full of practical examples that bring the topic to life. She’s so patient and takes her time answering questions. I look forward to taking more classes from her.

Assalamu alaykom dear Ustadha Shamira! I continue to benefit from your classes, masha’Allah. Your love for the deen and your passion for teaching are truly contagious. One thing you taught me—me, a sixty-three-year-old aunty!—is to be mindful of my wudu. I’ll never forget the story of the little boy in Mauritania and his gheera for the deen. Now I always remember to wash the back of my ankles properly. I listen to your classes over and over and never get tired. May Allah reward you greatly!

My very first fiqh class with Ustadha Shamira was back in 2005 at the Deen Intensive in San Jose. MashaAllah, I was immediately struck by how knowledgeable and full of life she was as a young teacher. Everything she taught from that little green book left a lasting impression on me. It was my first formal exposure to studying fiqh with a teacher, and those three days of intensive learning were transformative, they helped me correct and refine the outward aspects of my wudu and salat. I still have that green Fiqh book and often think back fondly to that time and to Ustadha Shamira’s impactful teaching. Since moving to Toronto in 2006, I’ve made every effort to attend her online classes and regularly benefit from her recordings. Alhamdulillah, my daughters also connect with her teaching style and find her lectures both engaging and relatable.

About Ustadha Shamira

Born and raised in California’s Central Valley, Ustadha Shamira is passionate about educating and empowering Muslim women to reach their highest spiritual potential through acquiring sacred knowledge. Having graduated as valedictorian from a large public high school, her studies led her — following a brief soul-searching stint at Georgetown University — to seek sacred knowledge from scholars on three continents: Africa, Europe, and Asia. Ustadha Shamira began her journey in seeking sacred knowledge at the women’s Dar-ul-Uloom Mu’eenal Islam seminary in South Africa, and completed the five-year intensive ‘alima program at Ja’mia Al-Imam Muhammad Zakariyya, one of Britain’s first and most renowned Islamic universities for women. Thereafter, she continued her Arabic and Qur’anic studies in Damascus, Syria, where she obtained an ijāzah in Tajwīd of the Ḥafṣ recitation from the late eminent Syrian scholar, Shaykh Ḥasan al-Kurdī. In 2005, Ustadha Shamira taught Hanafi fiqh for women at the Zaytuna Institute in California and has since taught various Islamic sciences in venues across North America. In 2008, she earned a Master’s Degree in Demographics and Social Analysis from the University of California at Irvine, focusing on the identity formation of the Muslim-American population. In 2013, Ustadha Shamira specialized in the detailed rulings of menstruation, lochia, and abnormal discharge under the direction of Mufti Abdur Rahman Ibn Yusuf Mangera and assisted in compiling Imam Abu Hanifa’s Al-Fiqh al-Akbar Explained. As a wife and mother of five children, Ustadha Shamira is passionate about empowering women in their childbearing years to gain closeness to their Lord. As a certified birth doula and lactation educator, she infuses her classes with Islamic spirituality and offers birth consultations and virtual doula services to Muslim women. Ustadha Shamira is a co-founder of the Rahmah Foundation and currently teaches for Nur al Iman, a full-time girls’ and ladies’ shariah program based in the Bay Area, California. In the rare quiet moments between teaching, writing, and family life, she’s often found on a walk, traveling the globe with her family — or carrying one more book than she has time to read. She finds deep meaning in walking alongside women as they grow in knowledge, strength, and closeness to Allah ﷻ.
