Hailing from the basketball hotbed of Coney Island, Zach grew up in a family of hoopers—his brother Stephon became an NBA and international icon. But Zach carved his own path:
🔹 Played professionally
🔹 Selected for the NBA Combine and played Summer Leagues with the Knicks and Trailblazers
🔹 Known for dominating on the streetball scene — from Rucker Park in NYC to the Drew League in LA
🔹 Trained with numerous NBA All-Stars and built a reputation as a player’s player
Now, Zach is giving back through coaching and mentoring, with over 10 years of experience training youth and adults, teaching discipline, fundamentals, and love for the game. His camps focus not just on skills — but on building resilience, teamwork, and mindset.

Inviting to the Prophet’s Way
Friday, January 2, 2025 | After isha (prayer at 8 pm)
ADAMS Sterling
Join us for a special evening with guest speaker Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans for a program focused on the timeless approach of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to inviting others to Islam.
This session will explore how the Prophet presented Islam through his character, conduct, and story—and what lessons can be drawn from his methodology of da‘wah in today’s context. The talk will emphasize practical, accessible ways of sharing Islam that resonate meaningfully with people in our time.
The program will feature a structured lecture with clear, tangible examples, followed by a moderated Q&A with the community.
About the Speaker
Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans is ALIM’s first Scholar-in-Residence. He embraced Islam in high school and went on to study foundational Islamic sciences under local scholars before continuing his studies at the Institute of Islamic Education (Chicago), in Tarim, Yemen, and at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt—where he became the first African American to graduate from its Shari‘a program. He also teaches with the Ta’leef Collective and the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN).
Please join us for our monthly UmmaTea session, open to the community, hosted by ADAMS Young Adults in partnership with ADAMS Qurtuba and Qahwa Cafe!
All of us have been touched by loss, whether the passing of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or struggling to support someone else who is grieving. At the final UmmaTea session of 2025, we invite the whole community for a timeless and universal conversation about how the Quran can be a healing and a salve for our hearts when afflicted with pain, especially grief after loss.
As Allah SWT says in Surah Isra, “And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers” (17:82). How can we connect our hearts to the Quran and allow the Everlasting Word of Allah guide us through life’s transitions, providing us with hope and grounding as we begin a new year?
Join Imam Magid as we think and learn together to answer these questions. We know this is a holiday weekend, many students and family members are in town. Please invite anyone you wish to join us for warm tea and winter themed snacks in communiTea!
Please come with a notebook, a pen, and your own water bottle. Tea and snacks will be served as usual. Please arrive on time— we will open the doors at 7:45PM for tea time and then begin the main program after promptly after Isha, insha’Allah.
We welcome all members of our community over 21 to attend this event! As we provide free tea and snacks, we ask that if you are able, to please purchase a ticket and/or gift a donation to allow us to keep this event free and accessible to ADAMS Young Adults and Young Professionals! May Allah SWT reward you all and may He continue to protect and bless our community.
Study of Selected Excerpts from Ibn al-Qayyim’s Ighāthat al-Lahfān (“Relief for the Distressed from the Traps of Shayṭān”)
Weekly with Imam Kebba Sallah | ADAMS Sully | Tuesdays after Maghrib (time adjusts with prayer) | Starting October 21
This weekly circle is a guided study of selected passages from Imām Ibn al-Qayyim’s Ighāthat al-Lahfān min Maṣāyid al-Shayṭān—a classic on spiritual psychology and self-reform. Together we’ll explore how the Qur’an and Sunnah diagnose the states of the heart (sound, diseased, dead), expose the tactics of Shayṭān (from doubt and desire to distraction and excess), and chart practical remedies rooted in tawḥīd, dhikr, repentance, sincere worship, and disciplined character.
Building on the inner dimensions of Islam, the class emphasizes the inner Sunnah—aligning intentions, emotions, and habits with prophetic guidance. Each week we will read selected passages that provide reflection prompts, helping us connect insights to family life, work, and worship. The aim is not abstract theory but lived practice: learning these principles together and striving to apply them in daily interactions and personal growth.
Format: Reading from the text • Instructor explanation • Guided discussion • Practical reflections to take home
Who it’s for: Anyone seeking to defend themselves from Shayṭān’s traps, strengthen their heart, become a better Muslim, and draw closer to Allah
Schedule: Weekly, every Tuesday at 7:00pm.
The Fiqh of Prayer & Purification and the Inner Dimensions of Worship
Location: ADAMS Sully
Day: Wednesday
Time: After 7PM
Instructor: Imam Kebba Sallah
Starting Date: October 15
Duration: Approximately 15–18 weeks (aiming to finish before Ramadan – may be modified as needed)
Course Description: Many Muslims have never formally studied the fiqh of Taharah (purification) and Salah (prayer), even though these are personal obligations (Fard ‘Ayn) for every practicing Muslim. This class is designed to fill that gap. Students will gain a solid understanding of the essential rulings, building confidence that their purification and prayer are ritually sound. By studying fiqh systematically, participants can avoid doubt, speculation, constant reliance on online rulings, or getting drawn into disputes over differences of opinion. This knowledge is indispensable for every practicing Muslim.
Beyond formal rules, prayer is ultimately about the heart. Even a legally valid prayer can fall short if it lacks presence, humility, and mindfulness. This class will also explore the inner dimensions of worship, drawing on Imam Ghazali’s teachings, to help students cultivate God-consciousness, reverence, and spiritual focus in every prayer.
Qurtuba Community Education: This class is part of our Foundations Curriculum, designed to build religious literacy in the community. The course is completely free, but registration is required. Your support and donations allow us to continue offering these programs.
Note on Madhhab: The class is based on Maliki fiqh, reflecting the instructor’s background. For students who have not previously studied a madhhab, the priority is to gain a solid foundation in one recognized Sunni school, rather than becoming concerned about which school to follow. We will strive to offer this course based on other madhāhib in the future.
