Sohaib Abid — Founder & CEO, Siraj Center of Islamic Learning
Sohaib Abid is a qualified Islamic scholar, educator and entrepreneur with an MS in Islamic Law and Jurisprudence from International Islamic University Islamabad (IIU) — one of the most prestigious Islamic academic institutions in the Muslim world. His academic foundation combines classical Islamic sciences with modern educational methodologies, making him uniquely positioned to deliver authentic online Quran and Islamic education to students across the globe.
With over 5 years of teaching experience in both online and in-person settings, Sohaib has personally guided hundreds of students from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Portugal, Sweden, West Africa and beyond — helping them learn Quran online, master Tajweed rules, memorize the Quran (Hifz), understand Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) and connect deeply with their faith from the comfort of their homes.
In addition to leading SCIL, Sohaib serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Islamic Sciences Islamabad (IISI), where he teaches English language and Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) to advanced students — bringing both rigorous academic depth and real classroom experience to every course designed and delivered at SCIL.
Sohaib founded Siraj Center of Islamic Learning with a clear and powerful vision: to make qualified, authentic Islamic education accessible to every Muslim household worldwide — regardless of their location, age, background or schedule. He believed that every Muslim deserves access to a real qualified scholar, not just pre-recorded videos or automated courses. That belief became the foundation of SCIL’s signature one-on-one live online teaching model — where every student is personally matched with a dedicated tutor who designs a customized learning plan based on their individual goals and pace.
Under his leadership, SCIL has grown into a trusted online Islamic institute serving students across four continents, offering courses in online Quran reading, online Tajweed, online Hifz, online Tafseer, online Hadith, online Fiqh, online Arabic language and online Urdu language — all taught by qualified Islamic scholars who share Sohaib’s commitment to excellence in Islamic education.
Sohaib’s dual identity as both a religious scholar and an educational entrepreneur gives SCIL a distinct advantage in the online Islamic education space — combining deep scholarly credibility with modern digital teaching tools, flexible scheduling and student-first values.
