Years Teaching Experience

A Journey Built Through Real Scholarship

Kashif Riaz did not become a teacher overnight. His journey began in Pakistan where he spent 8 years studying Arabic language and Islamic sciences under the institutes of Mufti Taqi Usmani — one of the most respected Islamic scholars in the world.

This was not short-term study or online certification. It was full classical Islamic scholarship involving Arabic grammar, Quranic sciences, Hadith, Fiqh, Islamic history, and authentic Islamic education.

After moving to Dubai, teaching naturally became his mission. Today he teaches professionals, children, and adult learners from across the globe with a teaching style that combines authenticity with modern learning techniques.
