Suheil Laher
Faculty Associate in Qur'anic Studies
Suheil Laher serves as Faculty Associate in Qur’anic Studies. Born and raised in sunny Zimbabwe, he memorized the Qur’an by the age of fourteen. He came to the U.S. as a college student to study engineering, but the horrific events of 9/11 led him to realize the need to better analyze his own religion, and the need for dialogue with others.
