Imam Mohamad Jebara discusses the life of the final Messenger, May God's peace and blessings be upon him, at cordova Academy's siirah class.
Mohamad Jebara memorized the Qur`ān in his youth. By the age of 18, he had earned certification, called Ijāzah in Arabic meaning 'permission to teach', with chains of transmission linking him to the Prophet Muhammad -upon whom are the Blessings of the Almighty- in three narrations of the Qur`ān; Hafs, Warsh and Qālūn.
When the Eminent Scholar of Qirā`āt, Shaikh Abdulrashid Ali Sufi, was in Ottawa for a month, Mohamad seized the opportunity and recited to him on a daily basis. In 2005, Mohamad traveled to Damascus, where he recited at the feet of the Eminent Scholar Imām Abdur-Razzāq Al-Halabi. Along with possessing one of the shortest chains of transmission in Qur`an, Imām Al-Halabi, is the greatest and supreme living authority on the Hanafi school of thought in the world.
Mohamad also recited to Dr. Abdul-Salam Al-Hirasi, professor at the University of Fez, Morocco, when he was on a visit to Toronto. Dr. Al-Hirasi confirmed Mohamad's abilities and qualifications in the narration of Imam Warsh -May God be pleased with them-
In addition, Mohamad studied and memorized several important Classical Arabic works including Al-Ajurrūmīyyāh, a prose on Classical Arabic Grammar rules. Mohamad also studied and memorized Ash-Shātibiyyah and Al-Jazariyyah, both proses on Tajwid rules. Along with many other Classic works.
Mohamad completed the pilgrimage to Mecca when he was 21.
