Dr. Shadee Elmasry's academic and spiritual journey has been richly immersed in the heart of traditional and contemporary Islamic scholarship. A relentless pursuit of authentic knowledge led him to study with revered ulama across Yemen, Mecca, Medina, London, and Cairo, where he deeply engrossed himself in Arabic, Maliki fiqh, usul, aqida, and suluk. His quest for understanding Tasawwuf has been further enriched by guidance from luminaries such as Mahmoud Shabieb, Rami Nsour, and Habib Umar bin Hafiz, to name a few. With a stellar academic background that includes a masters and PhD in religious studies, focusing on the dawa contributions of Imam Abd Allah bin Alawi al-Haddad, Dr. Elmasry marries the rigor of classical learning with contemporary insight.

Now, as a Scholar in Residence and Director of Education, Dr. Elmasry is deeply committed to kindling the same love for Tasawwuf in the hearts of his students. His teachings are not just anchored in solid Islamic jurisprudence but are also enlivened by practical wisdom and a passion for connecting souls to the Divine. As the founder of Safina Society, Dr. Elmasry continues to nurture a community that values authentic and accessible Islamic learning, reflecting his dedication to fostering a deep, personal understanding of the spiritual path in all those who seek it.
