MEET OUR SHEIKH

Assalamu Alaikum, I'm Imam Hashem Bani Aiyesh

I am currently serving as the full-time Imam and the Lead Imam for Masjid Al-Hidayah and the Islamic Center of Fort Wayne. I also serve as the Director of Islamic Studies, Qur’an, and Arabic Department at International Leadership School.

I received my Islamic knowledge and training in Jordan and in the blessed city of Makkah Al-Mukarramah, gaining a strong foundation in Qur’an, Hadith, Fiqh, and the Arabic language.

I have been honored to serve as an Imam since 2008, dedicating my life to teaching, guiding, and supporting the Muslim community.

For the past three years, I have been blessed to serve the vibrant community of Fort Wayne, working to strengthen faith, inspire learning, and nurture the next generation upon the Qur’an and Sunnah.

"We ask Allah ﷻ to grant us beneficial knowledge, sincerity, and acceptance, and to guide our Ummah and all of mankind to the Straight Path — the path of the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ."
