Dr. Hasan Awan is a primary care physician of internal medicine in private practice in Baltimore, MD, since 2007, who also provides services at the Islamic Society of Baltimore Free Health Clinic. Over the years he has studied portions of the Islamic sacred sciences informally with distinguished scholars: essential Islamic legal praxis, Quranic exegesis, Hadith Literature, Islamic theology, and the Hikma tradition (Islamic philosophy and Sufi metaphysics). He has more formally learned Islamic spirituality/Sufism in spiritual companionship with several distinguished spiritual guides. His areas of special interest are Hikma, Islamic psychology, and spirituality, as well as holistic and alternative medicine. He has applied the principles and insights of all these disciplines to clinical and integrative healthcare, spiritual counseling, guided meditation, and pastoral services to local and broader Muslim communities. He describes this ongoing engagement as a practice of presence. He teaches Islamic Meditation at the Baltimore Zawiya. He is a senior faculty member of the Islamic psychology program at the Alkaram Institute and teaches at Al Balagh Academy.
