Dr. Khalid H. Sayedi
SALAM Board of Trustees Announcement
The SALAM Center for Higher Islamic Learning is honored to welcome Dr. Khalid Sayedi as a Visiting Faculty Member for the Fall 2025 semester.
Dr. Khalid H. Sayedi is a passionate educator, distinguished Qur’an reciter, and respected community leader, deeply committed to nurturing spiritual growth, advancing education, and cultivating leadership within the Muslim community. His journey with SALAM began as a young student when he served as a teacher at the SALAM Weekend School, laying the foundation for a lifelong dedication to service. Today, he is a vital member of SALAM’s Board of Trustees, a regular khateeb delivering insightful Friday sermons, and a dynamic leader of the SALAM Youth Group, inspiring the next generation of Muslim leaders.
Dr. Sayedi’s commitment to community extends beyond SALAM, as he is also a cornerstone of the Muhajer Foundation, where he plays a pivotal role in serving youth and families in the West Sacramento area. His unwavering dedication to faith and service continues to uplift and empower those around him. He is currently completing his Master’s degree in Islamic Studies at Mishkah University and has pursued in-depth studies in Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), Islamic Theology (Tawheed), Quranic Sciences (Uloom al-Qur’an), Prophetic Traditions (Hadith), Islamic History (Tarikh), and Islamic Ethics (Akhlaq)—a rich foundation that informs his work as a teacher, mentor, and community leader.
Insha’a Allah, Dr. Khalid will serve in the English Track of the Seminary Program at the SALAM Center for Higher Islamic Learning, where he is scheduled to teach the “Foundations of Islamic Sciences” course during the Fall 2025 semester. His addition to the faculty reflects a meaningful advancement of SALAM’s mission of spiritual development, academic excellence, and community empowerment.
We warmly invite our community to join us in making du‘a for Dr. Khalid, asking Allah SWT to increase him in beneficial knowledge and to make him a source of guidance and mentorship for all those seeking purpose and belonging. We also ask Allah SWT to bless the leadership of SALAM with wisdom, sincerity, and success. May He place abundant barakah in our community, unite our hearts, and guide us in building a vibrant and compassionate future.
