Founder - Shaykh Salek bin Siddina

Shaykh Salek founded the Mauritania Foundation in 2016. He was from Mauritania, West Africa, a country known for producing some of the Muslim world’s most knowledgeable scholars. He studied for over 17 years in the famous mountain region of Taganat, from numerous accomplished scholars including Murabit al-Hajj, one of the greatest scholars of our age.

In addition to memorizing the entire Quran in two of its styles of recitations, he studied and mastered some of the most advanced texts in the disciplines of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Arabic grammar (nahu), doctrinal creed (aqida), Prophetic narration (hadith), and the study of the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (seerah). From a family tracing its lineage back to the Prophet, peace be upon him, himself, he is respected and was widely regarded amongst his peers as a scholar of the highest caliber.

He passed away in March 2023, may Allah have mercy on him. His younger brother, Shaykh Faqih bin Siddina, currently runs the Dar Us Salaam school teaching the Qur’an, Islamic law, and numerous other subjects to children and adults of all ages.
