Manara Academy is excited to announce the availability of school chaplaincy services for our families and students! Sh. Bakeer will be available at all of our campus locations beginning in November. He looks forward to serving the families of Manara. Chaplaincy services are provided for all students using a non-denominational approach. Parent permission forms for chaplaincy services are available upon request. Yousef Bakeer is a scholar and youth worker who has dedicated the last 15 years of his life to serving the youth community. Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, he graduated from Al-Azhar University with a Bachelor's degree in Islamic Studies. He is fluent in several languages and has traveled the world to share his knowledge. As the Youth Director for Valley Ranch Islamic Center and a teacher with Manara Institute, he mentors Muslim youth and helps them develop a deeper understanding of their faith. He holds an ijaza in Quran and is pursuing advanced degrees in Islamic Studies and chaplaincy. Sheikh Yousef's education and experience make him a valuable resource for the Muslim community, and his dedication to youth has inspired many to pursue a life of service and faith.
