A Nadwat al-Ulama trained scholar with an Ijazah in Tajweed in the recitation of Hafs ‘an ‘Asim, Shaykh Abdulla leads the day-to-day teaching of the Mizana Hifz Program. He led our Summer 2026 Hifz Program, where more than 25 children learned under his care, and he continues with those students into the academic year. The program's methodology is his: correct recitation before memorization, small daily lessons that build the habit and the love of the Qur'an rather than a burden, and a daily cycle of new lessons, recent review, and old review, so what a child memorizes is never lost. His aim for every student is the same one he states himself: that they become people of the Qur'an, who recite it, reflect on it, and live by its teachings.

A hafidh of the Qur'an, Shaykh Munsif spent seven years studying the Islamic sciences in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, within Masjid al-Nabawi and the circles of its scholars, earning degrees in Arabic language and Classical Arabic Literature from the Islamic University of Medina. He is also a registered psychotherapist with a Master of Pastoral Studies from the University of Toronto, and serves at Khalil Center as a clinical psychotherapist. In the Hifz Program he provides mentorship and motivation to students, uniting sound Qur'an instruction with real emotional and spiritual care.

Trained at Darul Uloom al-Madania, Darussalam Seminary, and the Institute of Islamic Education. Holds an ijazah from Sh. Abdul-Hayy Habbal in the Arabic and Islamic sciences, and a shahada in the 10 Qira'at of the Qur'an from Dr. Fawqi Jawadah al-Azhari.
