About Uthman ibn Farooq:
Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq was born in Pakistan and is from the Pashtun tribe, Yusufzai, but grew up in California from a young age. He began practicing and studying Islam in his later teenage years and was inspired to seek Islamic knowledge abroad by ash- Shaikh Dr. Awad al-Garguri. For the next ten years Sh. Uthman would continue to balance his secular and Islamic studies, earning a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, an executive MBA in technology management, while attaining traditional Ijāzāt (accreditation) in classic Islamic texts from qualified Islamic scholars, such as ash-Shaikh Dr. Yusuf Mishaʿal (Ph.D. Umm al-Qura) and ash-Shaikh Dr. Sādiq al-Manna (Ph.D. Umm al-Qura).
His travels in search of Islamic knowledge would take him to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the UAE. He has attained multiple Ijazat in books of Hanbali Fiqh, Usul al-Fiqh, Ḥadith, Mustalah al- Hadith and a Master’s degree in Hadith sciences. He currently is the Imam of Masjid Al-Ribat in San Diego, CA.
