• Shaikh Abdullah al Faisal

  Shaikh Abdullah al Faisal was born in 1963 and raised in Jamaica to a Christian Salvation Army family that was involved in much charitable work throughout poverty stricken areas of the Caribbean Islands.

  He embraced Islam at the age of 16. He studied Arabic and Islamic studies in Guyana, South America
  He furthered his knowledge at the Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  There he studied for 8 years and graduated in 1991. He has lectured in 30 countries and is the author of the books: Natural Instincts: Islamic Psychology, 100 Fabricated Hadith and Religion is Sincerity.
  The reputation of Shaikh Faisal is distinguished by his uncompromising stance for Truth and Justice, and his refusal to sit idly by as the blood of Muslims is spilled and mankind's most basic human rights are trampled beneath the feet of the Earth's most rebellious tyrants.
  He has boldly confronted the American presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the Zionist occupation of Palestine. As the American coalition's crusade against Islam intensified following the events of September 11th, many Islamic scholars retreated into the shadows and "safety" of quietude and anonymity. Shaikh Faisal refused to become silent and continued to raise his voice openly with full conviction resulting in his arrest and imprisonment at the hands of the British regime on February 18th 2002. Using a Victorian era British Law from 1861, he was charged with "Incitement to Murder". He was sentenced to nine years in prison. On appeal the sentence was reduced to 7 and he was subsequently released and deported in December 2007.
  Sheikh Faisal has inherited the Prophet's persecution and has joined the ranks of the imprisoned scholars of Islam. Of the righteous scholar the Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said: "The Scholars are the Inheritors of the Prophets" [Abu Dawud 3/3634]

• Shaikh Feiz Muhammad

  Sheikh Feiz was born in Sydney, Australia. He spent the first part of his life in the field of sports. At the age of 17 he received a title in boxing and then at 19, he won the Australian bodybuilding championship. Sheikh Feiz lived most of his teen life in a gangster environment in the streets of the city of Sydney, without the recognition of his Great Creator. He was `Tough' having all the Aussie lifestyle could offer, except true happiness. He was well known as "Frank the Killer" in his boxing days, and "The Beast" in his bodybuilding days, due to his robust character and tough behaviour. Even with all things at his fingertips, he felt a need for more. He was born into a so called "Muslim" family but never placed any effort in understanding the deen of truth due to the negative influence that surrounded him. After a hard life on the streets, he realized that his existence meant much more then living as a hooligan. He began investigating other religions, but found them deficient in every perspective. After entering a mosque to ask questions about Islam, he realized that Allah sent him there (to the mosque) in order to guide him not confuse him. He attended lessons within the mosques around Sydney, but found that all of them were unattractive, hard to understand and showed lack of interest towards the youth.

  He was about to leave for America to represent Australia in the world championships, when Allah placed emaan in his heart and he embarked upon the greatest and most fruitful epic and endeavor of his existence, which was to travel to the land of the first Islamic state, Madinah. Here he completed two years of intense Arabic and then 4 years of Islamic Law, specializing in the Science of Hadith. Upon completion, he returned to Australia to fulfill his dream which was to cater to the needs of the youth, especially those lost on the streets. In the year 2000, Sheikh Feiz founded and became the Amir of the "Global Islamic Youth Centre" (G.I.Y.C.), a centre of learning and a place that encourages the youth to be better Muslims. It has a gym, recreational facilities, including youth camps and many lessons on Islam both general and in depth.

  His unique style of speech, and his unwavering stance on Islam, has attracted the young and old from all over the world. His refusal to "water down" his religion has drawn forth the critics, but he remains steadfast, believing in Allah’s message and the true meaning of "no compromise". He strictly upholds the Qur'an and Sunnah. He is currently residing in Malaysia furthering his studies in Islam, while teaching at various places within Malaysia and on the internet.

  May Allah protect him and grant him Al Firdaus Al Alaa.
