Assalamu Alaikum,
For over 15 years, my passion for debating religion and defending the truth has shaped my life. It all began with a burning desire to share the truth of Islam with a dear friend’s wife, hoping that she would embrace Islam after seeing the light. This aspiration was inspired by the words of Allah in the Qur'an:
Qur'an, 41:33 (Interpretation of the Meaning)
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah, does righteousness, and says, 'Indeed, I am of the Muslims.'
And the blessed Hadeeth of the Prophet ﷺ
Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, the prophet ﷺ said: By Allah, if a single person is guided by Allah through you, it will be better for you than a whole lot of red camels.
Note: The phrase "red camels" in Hadeeth refers to a specific type of camel that was considered to be highly prized or valuable in the Arabian Peninsula during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Motivated by these divine teachings, I began my journey of knowledge and self-education, always asking, "Why Islam and not Christianity?" With the help of a sister who had embraced Islam, I was able to write a book titled “The Truth.” She patiently guided me through the process, helping me improve my English and refine my writing. However, due to high printing costs, I couldn’t publish it.
In response, I turned to YouTube, creating videos to share my knowledge and defend Islam, particularly responding to attacks on our beloved faith. I dedicated 3 to 4 hours every day, refining my skills in online debates and sharing the beauty of Islam. Alhamdulillah (All thanks are due to Allah), I became proficient in defending the truth over the course of 10 years.
Then, a tragedy struck. I lost my youngest child in a car accident—a heart-wrenching moment that left me broken. But after working through my grief, I realized that my time on this earth is limited, and I feared that if I did not share what I had learned, Allah might ask me why I had kept this knowledge to myself.
This pushed me to take my efforts further away from YouTube and build a website to share the knowledge I had accumulated. With my background in PHP, JavaScript, and HTML, I embarked on the journey of learning how to build a simple yet effective website. Alhamdulillah (All thanks are due to Allah), with Allah’s guidance, I now have a fully functional site accessible across devices. Recently, I started adding AUDIO VERSION functionality for every page on my website, keeping in mind people with weak vision and those who dislike reading.
Seeking Help
Throughout this process, I faced many challenges. I reached out to fellow Muslims for help in proofreading the content, but most were too busy.
However, by the grace of Allah, Sister Leilah, formerly known as Deborah before embracing Islam, a newly converted Muslim, remained by my side. She selflessly supported me and helped me perfect the content.
She even wrote a book about her journey to Islam. Check it out:
First, click on
Islam 101
in the main menu.
Then, click on "New Muslim Converts."
Next, scroll down the page to find "From Darkness to Light."
Finally, click on the image under that title.
May Allah reward her immensely for her efforts.
Not to mention my gratitude to my daughters, who spent some of their busy study time reading and helping to refine my statements, making them stronger and more understandable.
Once my website began to take shape, I sought the guidance of shaykhs with trusted Islamic knowledge to help verify the information I posted. Although I ensure not to publish any content without solid evidence of its authenticity, I wanted to have everything thoroughly checked by a knowledgeable Islamic shaykh. Unfortunately, none stepped forward to assist me except my teacher and shaykh, Shaykh A. A.
I did not include Shaykh A. A. personal information for fear of harassing him regarding any of the website's contents.
He graduated from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, in 2006 with a degree in Islamic Studies in English. After moving to the USA in 2018, he enrolled at the American University of Human Sciences in California to pursue his Master's degree in Islamic Studies. He is also majoring in Humanities at a local state college. He memorized the entire Qur'an at the age of 10.
His Professional Experience
Imam and Preacher: He served for 12 years with Egypt's Ministry of Endowments (Al-Awqaf) before relocating to Florida, USA, in 2018.
Al-Awqaf is a governmental institution responsible for overseeing religious affairs, particularly Islamic endowments.
Religious Director, Imam, and preacher: He has been serving at an Islamic Center in Florida, USA, since 2018.
Educator: He has conducted numerous lectures on Islamic studies and Prophet Muhammad’s Hadeeth, both in person and online. Additionally, he is a public speaker at various interfaith gatherings.
Islamic Certifications: He holds six certifications in Quranic recitation and explanation, as well as in-depth Islamic studies. These certifications are called Ijazah.
An Ijazah (الإِجازَة) is a formal certification or license, signifying authorization to transmit a specific text or subject, especially in the context of Islamic religious knowledge, granted by a qualified scholar to a student who has demonstrated mastery.
Shaykh A. A. has been instrumental in verifying the Islamic content on my site and advising me when necessary.
I pray that Allah rewards him abundantly for his valuable contributions.
Dear Muslims,
This effort is dedicated to you and your children. If we fail to nurture strong, confident Muslims, they will be vulnerable to the forces that seek to divert them from the path of Allah. Anti-Islam activists are working day and night online to attack Islam. They receive support from donations made by individuals who seek to undermine Islam and convert Muslims away from their faith. Do not leave your children without the proper Islamic knowledge to make their faith strong, but also to empower their faith with evidence and solid knowledge that proves Islam is the true religion that Allah will accept on the Day of Judgment.
Dear Muslim Converts,
My website is designed not only for the Muslim community but also to offer guidance to new converts, providing them with easy access to fundamental knowledge and the opportunity to learn Al-Fatiha and short Surahs of the Qur'an.
Dear Christians,
My efforts are dedicated to you as well. We live only once, and after we pass, no sorrow will avail us before God. Take time to re-evaluate what you’ve been taught. Don’t settle for ‘belief alone.’ Back up your belief with knowledge and evidence. Ask yourself: Is your Bible truly the word of God?
Please click the

botton located in the main menu, where you will be surprised to discover information and facts about your Bible, taken directly from the Bible itself.
I pray for all humans to be saved on the Day of Judgment from the wrath of Allah, when He sends those who worshipped others besides Him to Hell to suffer for eternity.
I humbly invite any constructive criticism or suggestions to help improve this effort further.
May Allah accept this work and make it a source of benefit for all who seek the truth.
