Meet your author: Abū Ṭalḥah

Abū Ṭalḥah is a student of knowledge, husband, and father of four working out of East London. Having first focused on becoming an accomplished author of children’s books, Abū Ṭalḥah then embarked upon his first major project under the guidance of multiple scholars: a relatively comprehensive guide on Ḥajj and ʿUmrah for Muslims. Abū Ṭalḥah searched and sourced some of the earliest and most beautiful images we have to the holy lands, and he coupled these with granular guidelines for Muslims worldwide. His wife—whom he describes as ‘exceptionally patient’—and family support him through his travels, charity work, and life in general.
