Mustafa Idris Diwan, MTS '25

“At HDS, I learned the most from my adviser, Professor Goudarzi, as well as Professors Nasser and El-Rouayheb from NELC, who inspired me with their critical approaches to texts, patience in instructing students, and dedication to teaching.”

How I've Changed  

Though I still have much to learn and experience, I feel that my time at Harvard has substantially broadened my intellectual and cultural horizons. 

Message of Thanks  

I would like to thank my alma mater, Aljamea-Tus-Saifiyah, and all the individuals who comprise the institution, for giving me a unique grounding in my own tradition and preparing me for future studies. At HDS, I learned the most from my adviser, Professor Goudarzi, as well as Professors Nasser and El-Rouayheb from NELC, who inspired me with their critical approaches to texts, patience in instructing students, and dedication to teaching. 

What I Hope to Be Remembered By 

I don’t think it’s necessary that I be remembered personally, per se. I do hope, however, that I’ve been able to have at least some lasting positive impact on those that I've encountered.
