People in Islam: Sheikh Abdal-Hakim Murad — Teacher, Professor, Scholar, and Author

It’s unfortunate that I’ve listened to this brother’s lectures and seen him appear on several documentaries and have failed to grasp and remember his name. Alhamdulilah, with the help of several suggestions, I’ve come to understand who Sheikh Murad is and be able to to more research so that we can describe his level of expertise and intellect at a just level.

Brother Abdal-Hakim Murad, the Dean of the Cambridge Muslim College in the UK, was voted most influential British Muslim thinker by Jordan’s Royal Strategic Islamic Studies Center. He translated a number of Islamic texts in English, like some of Imam Ghazali’s work, which is extremely important for our students right now who aren’t as well learnt in Arabic as he is. 

Also, Brother Murad studies and gives lectures at a number of places, included Singapore, Australia, Spain, and Malaysia. In his spare time, Murad writes a number of books. In fact, His most recent book is Commentary on the Eleventh Contentions (which he just recently published).
