Assalamu Alikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Alhamdulillah, we have just completed our 8th course, Fiqh of Business Transactions with
Dr. Main Alqudah:



  • Dr. Main received his Bachelor of ARts in Economics from Al-Azhar University (Cairo, Egypt) in 1991. He received a Masters in Islamic Studies from Al-Yamook University (Jordan) in 1996. He completed his Ph.D. in Islamic Studies, specializing in the Islamic Economic and Financial System from the American Open University (Virginia, USA) in 2005.
  • He holds a Certificate of Quraanic recitation (Ijazah) and memorization with an uninterrupted chain of correct readers that is traced back to Prophet Muhammad (prayers and peace be upon him).
  • He is an experienced lecturer in Islamic Studies. In his teaching career, he has provided instruction in both lower and higher education.
  • He served as an Imam of several Islamic centers throughout the United States and abroad.
  • He is a speaker at regional and national conferences.
  • He is a member of the Permanent Fatwa Committee in the AMJA (Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America).
  • He is involved in research work in Islamic studies focused on new challenges and contemporary issues.

Although the Fiqh of Business Transactions is a dry and heavy subject, Dr. Main Alqudah kept us interested by providing us with examples to relate to and better understand the material. His interactive teaching style also made it easier for us to stay on course. We are all blessed and honored to have such a talented and humble scholar guide us through on this journey to knowledge.
