Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Ustadh Taha bin Hasan Abdul- Basser started learning elementary Arabic and usul al-din at 5 years of age, under his father, Hasan Abdul-Basser, who had reverted to Islam at the age of 16, on the advice of his mentor, al-Hajj Malik (aka Malcolm X).

Having attended public and then private schools in New York City, Ustadh Taha returned to his personal study of Arabic with renewed vigor at the age of 16 and began to engage more deeply with works that he came across in his father’s personal library--such as Maulana Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s translation of and commentary on the Qur’an and Maulana Abdul-Hamid Siddiqui’s learned translation of Sahih Muslim.

Imam Mohamed Hagmagid Ali came to the United States in 1987 and is currently the Imam and Executive Director of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center in Sterling, VA. He was born in Sudan, the son of a leading Islamic Scholar, who was an Azhar graduate and the Mufti of Sudan.
