In February 2002, Siddiqi and her core team of volunteers at the University of Houston and alumni of the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Texas, Austin, implemented the first MIST with 118 students from Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

The Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament (MIST) consists of annual Regional Tournaments for high school students in the United States and Canada that take place in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, DC, Philadelphia, New York City, Florida, Houston, Southern California, and Toronto.
•
MIST next expanded to Atlanta via Ahmed Salim and Boston via Daniel Jou in 2004, New York via Maneeza Dawood in 2006, and Detroit via Shazia Siddiqi and Toronto via Hamzah Moin in 2008.
•
MIST was the brainchild of Shazia Siddiqi, a teenage freshman at the University of Houston who had a vision to start a tournament combining many aspects of the academic arena, including art, writing, and speech, that would bring high school students together from around the nation to develop leadership, promote communication, and inspire creativity while gaining an understanding of Islam and Muslims.
