Senior LECTURER

Dr. Abdelhafid Djouahi is an accomplished Islamic scholar, educator, and researcher specializing in the fields of Hadith and Sunnah sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Islamic Studies with a focus on Hadith from the prestigious University of Malaya in Malaysia (2024), adding to his foundational academic training from El Oued University in Algeria, where he earned both his Master’s (2016) and Bachelor’s (2014) degrees.
Bridging the gap between rigorous modern academia and sacred Islamic lineage, he holds a traditional license (Ijazah) to narrate 38 foundational books of the Sunnah, authorized by Sheikh Abu Al-Layth Muhammad Ibn Shamsuddin Al-Khairabadi with an unbroken chain of transmission (Sanad) tracing back to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Dr. Abdelhafid Djouahi has extensive international teaching experience across the Muslim world and Southeast Asia. He has served as a lecturer of Hadith and Takhreej (hadith verification) for undergraduate students at the College of Shari’a Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman, and has taught Quran and Islamic Studies at the Elite Arabic School in Malaysia, alongside several years of foundational teaching in Algeria.
As a dedicated researcher and author, his peer-reviewed work is published in leading academic journals, including Quranica and Brill’s Journal of Quranic and Hadith Studies, focusing heavily on the intersection of prophetic wisdom, Algerian law, and contemporary social issues – particularly the care and rights of individuals with special needs. He is also a published author of two books: “Kingdom of the Soul” and “Poet’s Fragments”, and served as the supervising editor for the publication “Exceptional Passerby Memoirs”. A multilingual scholar, he communicates in Arabic, English, French, and Japanese.
