Scroll a little down. More of me here!

My name is Nayef Abu Qaddum, I am a Palestinian and a Canadian and I welcome you warmly. Here is who I am even more, and how I have come to do what I do so zealously! I spent 3 years studying my Bachelors of English Literature at the Toronto Metropolitan University, before transferring to York University and continuing there as an English Literature student. I later transferred to York University to pursue my Bachelor’s in Philosophy. I joined i3 Institute for a Bachelors of Advanced Islamic Studies, deciding to move from there and completing at the Islamic Online University—for my Bachelors of Arts in Islamic Studies.

I completed my Islamic Integrated Coaching Certification from Solace—Islamic Mental Health Services granting me counselling and coaching licence. I am licensed by the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences as a Mental Health interventionist and accredited by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Additionally, I have completed my training in Fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Core Skills to Improve your Practice, at the University of McMaster, gaining a substantive introspect into the mechanics and technicalities of the human rationale, and psychology. Topping everything off with my acquisition of LivingWorks START training certificate in suicide prevention and support from LivingWorks.

I have a visible presence on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, producing content in line with my Religious Counselling and Emotional Wellbeing, Coaching and Counselling.

I spent the last 18 years in public speaking as a Preacher in Toronto, Canada. I delved much of my life as an Imam and a teacher in religious environments specifically at Daleel Islamic Association, Abu Huraira Centre and Masjid Omar Bin Al-Khattab. 

I have worked in managing fundraising and public relations as well as communications in a managerial capacity for i3 Institute, Toledo Foundation, Ashraful Aid and the Toronto Islamic Centre. I spent an excellent tenure teaching English in Türkiye.
