Maristan's Mission & Vision:
Grounded in Islamic traditions, Maristan aims to lead professional clinical care, education, and research in advancing holistic, mental and spiritual wellness.

Maristan strives to revive the Islamic legacy of research and education that informs holistic healing and provides culturally and spiritually congruent, professional, accessible, and affordable mental health care for all.

Perhaps one of the most unique manifestations of Islamic Civilization are the Maristans, or institutions of healing, that boasted the world’s first treatment centers for treating psychological illnesses. Given the holistic framing of the Islamic worldview, it was no accident that these healing centers embedded the treatment of psychological illnesses into their offerings. In so doing, Maristans became a trademark of the Muslim world and could be found in major metropolitan cities from the 8th Century onwards. These healing institutions forever changed the understanding and treatment of psychological illnesses by first dedicating specialized wards for psychological illnesses within the larger Islamic hospital complex, later followed by stand-alone institutions solely dedicated to the treatment of the mentally ill.

Ustadha Rania Awaad
Raised in the U.S., Ustadha Rania Awaad began her formal study of the traditional Islamic sciences when her parents permitted her to travel to Damascus, Syria, at 14. Her desire to continue studying the Deen resulted in multiple trips back to Damascus, interspersed between her high school, college, and medical studies. She was honored to receive Ijaazah (authorization to teach) several branches of the Shari’ah sciences at the hands of many renowned scholars, including many female scholars. She has received Ijaazah to teach Tajwid in the Hafs and Warsh recitations from the late eminent Syrian scholar Shaykh Abu Hassan al-Kurdi. In addition to completing several advanced texts of the Shafi’i madhhab, she is licensed to teach texts of Maliki fiqh, Adab and Ihsan. Currently, Ustadha Rania teaches online and local classes for The Rahmah Foundation, Rabata, and is on the faculty of Zaytuna College, where she teaches courses in Shafi’i fiqh, women’s issues in fiqh, and has helped develop and co-direct the Tajweed and Hifz program.

The Gems Project was created to make Islam accessible to everyone, ranging from all Muslims to those simply eager to learn more about the religion. Our goal is to extract brief lessons from the Quran and the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Family (as) and present them to the community from MCC's vast video library.

The Gems Series is a youth-initiated effort at the MCC aimed at providing viewers with bite-sized nuggets of wisdom and memorable anecdotes from the hundreds of hours of talks, sermons, panels, and lectures at the MCC to help viewers cultivate a more profound love, understanding, and connection with their Creator and their faith. 

The talks span a range of topics, from spiritual knowledge to current events from MCC's vast video library. If you enjoy this youth-run effort, please like and share and watch more at https://www.mcceastbay.org/gems
