Assalaamu Alaykum,
My name is Wisam Sharieff, I’m currently in Alexandria, Egypt and studying at Qortoba Institute for Arabic Studies along with a group of students from North America. Welcome to my blog ” Knowledge Travels”, come and join us as we Travel on the quest for Knowledge.

from Bayyinah Arabic Institute
Wisam is the lead instructor at Bayyinah for the Essentials of Tajweed; a sub-division of the Qur’anic Arabic track of study. Additionally, Wisam is also in the midst of preparing Bayyinah’s online Arabic Reading for Beginners course.   He is by far one of the most creative and energetic instructors of the subject around.  Students rave about the energy and enthusiasm in his courses and he has quickly become one of the most popular instructors at Bayyinah.  He completed memorization of the Noble Quran by the age of 16 at the Islamic Institute of Education in Chicago, Illinois and went on to study the science of Tajweed formally at Al-Fajr Institute in Cairo, Egypt. Upon his return to the United States, he taught the science of Tajweed, Islamic history and Hifz for 2 years. Thereafter his quest for Islamic knowledge lead him to Quran Academy in Lahore, Pakistan where he earned a Bachelors in Arabic & Islamic literature. Returning once again to the States, he dedicated himself to teaching a very successful and popular Tajweed & Hifz program in Long Island, New York. He developed a unique curriculum for letter recognition, writing and fluid reading, that upon execution, displayed remarkable results among young & old alike. His second area of concern became Tajweed instruction where again his innovative curriculum helped hundreds of students in the New York area acquire an in-depth knowledge of the science in a relatively short amount of time.
