Author's Profile

Dr. Gibril F. Haddad has given the following profile of himself (August 1999)....

I am not a scholar but a student of Islamic scholars and scholarship who converted to Islam with a background in humanities. I have been involved in translating from Arabic into English for about nine years. I follow the Shafi`i madhhab and the Naqshbandi Tariqa. I presently reside in Damascus where I have had the priviledge of hearing various ulamas in the different disciplines of Islam over the past two years. I have written a brief account of my journey to Islam which was posted at:

Recently back from Hajj, I wrote a brief journal which was posted at the following site:
