 In 2013 a large number of sisters we meeting weekly for a Halaqa with Dr. Aysha Wazwaz in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sisters from all different backgrounds would come and learn. It was the highlight of their week. Until....

​

 The administration of the Mosque called Dr Aysha Wazwaz to his office. They said she would have to cancel the Halaqa. They said the reason was there wasn't enough room for parking due to the big number of attendance. The sisters were discouraged, but one of them decided she wouldn't accept that her learning would stop. After all, Those classes changed her life! That's when she came up with the idea to start Gems of Light: A Non-Profit Organization just for Muslim Women. This organization was to be for the benefit of sisters and would be run by sisters. This is how Gems of Light first started. Sisters would come study all kinds of Islamic Sciences and form meaningful bonds in Sisterhood. As Gems of Light grew Dr Aysha and her student realized if if Gems of Light were to be brought online, more women could benefit and bring the love for Allah swt and Islam to their homes. The founders realized that sisters were the key to changing the Ummah in a positive way through Inspiration, Education, and Sisterhood so, they decided to start Gems of Light University online. They tirelessly worked hard to find the MOST Qualified Female Instructors in the world to teach Islam in the english language. Alhomdulileh, technology has made all of this possible where sisters can come together and study Islam from their own homes. Gems of Light University provides students with Authentic Islamic Knowledge that stands on the strong basis of the Quran and Sunnah with the understanding of the righteous predecessors and great scholars.
