One of the purposes of education is to develop a strong sense of ethics and values like, thinking of others, doing your best, not giving up, respecting your elders, knowing your role,working in a group, listening to others'viewpoints to promote critical thinking and empathy ― the ability to understand other people's feelings and the basis for living together in peace and justice. Japanese culture is rich in these core values.

Being a teacher and educator, my ambition is to flourish these values and qualities through moral education with compassion and rationality.

Let's join hands to make a voluntary contribution to the peaceful international society.

Working as an Assistant Imam at Kobe Mosque since September 2024

I reverted to Islam at Kobe Mosque 10 years ago in September 2014, when I was just 21 years old. Back when I was an Atheist and studying nursing, I pondered questions like the origin of the DNA system, the randomness of my parents, and why I was born in Japan. These thoughts led me to explore Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Buddhism in Japan confused me with its various sects and statues made with human hands, similar to teddy bear dolls. Christianity's different sects and the New Bible's late writing left me unconvinced. However, Islam stood out with its beauty, especially in the act of Sajidah(prostration) to Allah and the unchanging Qur'an.

Despite the presence of mosques in my area, the lack of Japanese-speaking Islamic teachers and guidance led me to quit university and pursue Islamic studies. After becoming Muslim, I travelled to Pakistan (5 months), Malaysia (1 year and 3 months), and Saudi Arabia for indepth Islamic studies (6 years).
I observed varying levels of religious practice in different countries, with rural areas having more devout individuals compared to cities where some engaged in Haram activities.

My Target of Education are for All Reverted Japanese Muslims and Mixed Muslims (2nd youth Generation) especially and increase the value of This great Mosque beyond any differences like biased nationality and thought.

We have to improve ourselves as a Muslim with Good Akhlaq and Adaab.
