Dr. Yamina Bouguenaya - Director
Receiving Nur is a fruit of Dr. Yamina’s calling in life. Her life journey includes a blend of cultures, multitude strands of education and complementing perspectives. ​After  completing her Ph.D. in Quantum Physics in England, she lived in Turkey, before moving to the United States. By then, Yamina's interest had shifted from the world of physics to  the vaster and much more mysterious  world of the self. This interest lead her to encounter Islamic spirituality and to discover the healing wisdom of the Qur'an. Meanwhile she also received intensive training  in Islamic Studies.

Dr. Yamina Bouguenaya has taught Arabic and Islamic Studies  in various universities in the US.  She loves to teach and share  with others the Qur'anic wisdom that has healed her soul. Yamina is most known to her students and friends as a compassionate and wise mentor.

Her lifelong mission is to align  spirit, heart,  and reason,  such as to attain fulfillment and peace through the grace  of the All-Merciful. She loves to share this process of aligning and opening to receiving  divine  light and blessings with others. She holds regular study circles (halaqas) on the spiritual application of the Quran in daily life, as well as spiritual retreats and workshops.
