Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada

Sheikh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada has served the global Muslim community for over half a century. He is a leading voice in literature, education, the training of scholars, and community and charity work. Following his acclaimed 5-volume commentary, Qur’an: The Sublime Word in Arabic, Urdu and English, and his 10-volume commentary, Bukhari: The Sublime Tradition, for which he was honoured in 2019 at the Imam Bukhari Complex in Samarkand, his latest research is pioneering in the field of leadership and seerah literature. Through Jamia Al-Karam, the institution and school he founded in 1985, hundreds of male and female British Muslim scholars have studied under his tutelage, who today serve as imams in more than 150 mosques in major cities as well as chaplains, teachers and community leaders in the UK and across Europe. He is founder of Muslim Charity, a relief and development NGO working in over 17 countries, and he is President of the World Association for Al-Azhar Graduates (UK).
