Biography

Oussama Ajerd is a Moroccan American who currently serves as the youth mentor at the Islamic Center of Detroit while also working as a software engineer.

Oussama first began studying Islamic sciences under the guidance of local scholars in Dearborn. Afterwards, he traveled back and forth to Morocco over a few years to further his traditional Islamic studies under the mentorship of scholars, spending a total of four years there. Subsequently, he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. His time in Morocco led him to receive multiple certifications of transmission and teaching in various Islamic disciplines, including jurisprudence, legal maxims, prophetic narrations, theology, prophetic biography and spiritual development.

When Oussama is not programming or studying, he usually has a latte in his hand and his nose in a book. He loves to travel with his family and explore new cultures.
