Bio:
Hafidha Soheyla Aryan was born in Iran, spent most of her childhood in Europe, and attended the latter half of her schooling in the United States. She received her Master's in Midwifery from both the USC School of Medicine and UCLA. Brought up in a family that was not particularly religious, the only connection Sister Aryan had with God was through daily salat.
It was not until much later in her life, when she was a firsthand witness to one of God's signs, that her heart and eyes were opened to God's undeniable presence in her life. It was thus with a joyful heart that she set out to learn about this new love of her life, gleaning every morsel of God's beauty and guidance. Imam Ali's Nahjul Balagha was the first book God brought into her life, and from there, she graduated into studying the Holy Qur'an. Seeking God through God's word has been her life ever since. Sister Soheyla now teaches Nahjul Balagha classes at Al-Zahra Mosque and Qur'an classes to students of all ages in the greater Los Angeles area.
