Shaykha Noshin Gul was born in Birmingham and currently resides in Manchester. After completing her undergraduate degree in Applied Chemistry and postgraduate studies in Material Engineering in 2005, she travelled to Syria in the pursuit of traditional sacred knowledge. She spent two years in Damascus, studying Arabic at the Abu Nur Institute, as well as Tajwid and other disciplines such as Theology, Jurisprudence, Hadith, Legal Theory and Hadith Principles with leading scholars of Syria.

She specialised in Quranic Phonology (Tajwid). As a result, she was awarded a licence to teach (Ijazah) by one of the Seven Senior Reciters of Damascus, the late Shaykh Abul Hasan Al-Kurdi, as well as Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi. Further, she also studied this discipline under the late Shaykh Shukri Al-Luhafi.

After her return to British shores, she was appointed Head of Primary Islamic Education at a Madrasa in Dewsbury, assuming this role for 3 years. She co-founded Sacred Vows Introduction Service and ISNAD Institute where she is a lecturer. She currently serves on the board of Guidance Hub in Manchester and is a lead on many of the activities and initiatives including a monthly gathering of Qasida Burdah for women.
