Abubakr Boomgaard

I completed the memorization of the Qur'an before pursuing my Aalimiyyah studies at DUAI Strand, from which I graduated in 2020. Since then, I have had the privilege of teaching Islamic Studies at various phases across multiple institutions. I am currently an educator in an Arabic department of higher learning, conduct intensive online courses through The Two Lights Academy, and tutor high school learners in Islamic Studies.

Beyond teaching, I have contributed to the development of Islamic educational resources by co-authoring the 'Tajdeed Syllabus'—a structured curriculum comprising textbooks in Fiqh, Aqidah, and Sirah—as well as contributing to translations of advanced works in Islamic theology.

Teaching is more than a profession for me; it is a passion. I believe that meaningful learning should be gradual, structured, and purposeful. For this reason, I prefer teaching through carefully selected texts, guiding students to develop a deep and systematic understanding rather than a superficial familiarity with a subject.

Although I believe that the likes of traditional classroom environments remain the ideal setting for Islamic education, I have found that dedicated students benefit tremendously from one-to-one tuition. When a student approaches learning with sincerity and commitment, private lessons provide an opportunity for focused guidance, meaningful discussion, and steady progress. Seeing such students grow in knowledge and understanding is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching.
