Shaykh Atef Mahgoub

Religious Scholar & Imam

Shaykh Atef has served as the Religious Scholar of the Rahma Center since its founding in 2022, after fourteen years guiding two American Muslim communities. He completed his entire education within the Al-Azhar system — from middle school through Al-Azhar University — earning his bachelor's degree in Islamic Studies.

Blessed to study both traditionally and academically under some of Al-Azhar's most renowned scholars, he holds ijāzahs in a range of classical sciences and has been invited to speak about Islam at institutions across the United States and abroad.

“This is an open house for anyone seeking to find themselves — and God.”
