Despite American Muslim students' increasing population on college campuses, there remains limited research in understanding the Islamic campus hate crimes phenomena from their lived experiences. Hermeneutic research is needed to explore the recurrent happenstance of violence, increased prejudiced encounters against Muslim students, and increased anti-Islamic trauma. The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experiences of Muslim college students and their resilience as they face increased Islamophobic campus violence and micro-aggression. Following the impact of the cataclysmic televised occurrences of September 11, 2001, evidence suggested that United States Muslim college students were affected significantly, resulting in the rise of campus Islamophobic hate crimes. The study's design is a qualitative methodology of interpretation of the phenomenon paired with the resiliency theory in positive psychology through the lens of Quranic psychiatry methodology to understand students' lived experiences. The exploration of participants' lived experiences via zoom pro research questions examined resilience through the self-reported Islamophobic foci of twelve Muslim students at higher education institutions. The study database generated six themes that emerged from the transcriptions' analysis. The study's results uncovered from member checks and triangulation used NVivo 12.0 to construct word clouds as a visual language from the validated data. Hermeneutically, the phenomena, "inherent systematic Islamic resilience," and "collective Islamophobic trauma" analytically uncovered newly defined outcomes from data extrapolated from the participants' lived experiences. The study identified opportunities for leadership at higher education institutions to utilize the study's phenomenological data from participants for their safety and convey directions for policy, programs, instructions, in-service training, and educational curriculum development.
