Rahma Hersi
I am deeply interested in diverse cultures and people which has led me to travel the world to see, learn and be with my brothers and sisters in Islam as well as my brothers and sisters in humanity. I am an avid reader and consume various books and materials by the dozen. My all time favourite writer and scholar of Islam is Imam Ghazzali who lived in the 11th Century but who writes words that transcend both time and space. I have been educated both in Muslim lands and in the West and both places have shaped and made me who and what I am. My vision for myself and by extension those around me is to be more merciful, more compassionate, more understanding of each other and generally just “ more like our Blessed Prophet Muhammed , peace and blessings be upon him.”
