Moez Masoud is an Egyptian preacher, televiĀ­sion and radio presenter, and activist who foĀ­cuses on the fields of contemporary spirituality, interfaith dialogue, and Islam in the modern world.

ReligiousĀ and academic work:Ā Founder of Al-TaĀ­reeq Al-Sahh (The Right Way) Institute, Masoud is trained in the Islamic sciences and is currently a reĀ­search affiliate at the University of Cambridge. His writings are primarily centred around religious idenĀ­tity and spiritual quest, as well as religious radicalisaĀ­tion. He has spoken at such key global events as the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos.

Media and Social Media:Ā His engagement in meĀ­dia has been significant since 2007 when his first ArĀ­abic TV show debuted, and by now his programmes and appearances have acquired millions of viewers across the Arab world. His Ramadan broadcast, Khutuwat Al-Shaytan, was widely viewed across the Arab world. In 2017, Masoud produced the Egyptian film Clash which has been hailed as: ā€œone of the most telling depictions of modern Egypt yet filmedā€, and the film was selected to represent Egypt in the OsĀ­cars’ 2017 Best Foreign Language Film category. Masoud has a following of over 25 million on varĀ­ious social media sites, including YouTube videos, Facebook and Twitter. Masoud participated in the brief post-Tahrir ā€œEgyptian National Dialogueā€ and has continued that dialogue on socio-political issues in Egypt from within the perspective of traditional Islam. In 2019 he announced the production of a film about the Christchurch mosque shootings, in which 51 people died. It will be entitled Hello, Brother, the words spoken by one of the victims.
