Imran Nazar Hosein is a leading International Islamic Philosopher, Scholar and author, specialising in world politics, economy, eschatology , modern socio-economic/political issues and expert on international affairs. He is best-selling author of Jerusalem in the Qur'an.

Imran Nazar Hosein was born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1942 to parents whose ancestors had migrated from India as indentured labourers. He studied Islam, Philosophy and International Relations at several universities and institutions of higher learning. Among them are al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, the Institute of International Relations of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, the University of Karachi in Pakistan, the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.

He worked for several years as a Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.

He lived in New York for ten years during which time he served as the Director of Islamic Studies for the Joint Committee of Muslim Organizations of Greater New York. He lectured on Islam in several American and Canadian universities, colleges, churches, synagogues, prisons, community halls, etc. He also participated in many inter-faith dialogues with Christian and Jewish scholars while representing Islam in USA. He was the Imam, for sometime, at Masjid Dar al-Qur'an in Long Island, New York. He also led the weekly Jumu'ah prayers and delivered the sermon at the headquarters of the United Nations Organization in Manhattan, New York, once monthly for ten years continuously.

He is a former Principal of the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, Director of Research of the World Muslim Congress in Karachi, Pakistan, Director of the Islamic Institute for Education and Research in Miami, Florida, and Director of D'awah for Tanzeem-e-Islami of North America.

He has traveled continuously and extensively around the world on Islamic lecture-tours since graduating from the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in 1971 at age 29. And he has also written more than a dozen books on Islam that have invariably been received with public respect. Indeed, Jerusalem in the Qur'an - An Islamic View of the Destiny of Jerusalem has become a best seller and has been translated and published in several languages.

Prof. Dr. Malik Badri, Dean of the International Institute for Islamic Thought and Civilization in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, wrote the Foreword to the book.

Imran's first book, entitled Islam and Buddhism in the Modern World was written when he was just 29 and still remains the only book on the subject by a Muslim scholar. That book won high praise from such eminent scholars as Vice Chancellor of University of Karachi and renowned historian, Dr. Ishtiaq Husain Quraishi, eminent Pakistani jurist and philosopher, A. K. Brohi, and eminent Muslim sociologist, Dr. Basharat Ali.

Maulana Dr. Fazlur Rahman Ansari, an outstanding scholar of Islam of the modern age, wrote the Foreword to that book.

Imran Hosein's three new books, published in 2007, on 'Surah al-Kahf' of the Qur'an and on the subject of 'Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age', offer rare insights into interpretation of the Qur'an and the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad insofar as they explain the modern age.

  • Why does this guy not have a lot of views? he should be in the hundred thousands for all his vids, very intellegent, mashallah, peace brotheres take the stuff to heart guys.

  • @imshabs

    My opinion is that Dajjal existed for a long time, possibly longer than humanity (like the djinn). He was not physically released until Muhammed (saws). I believe he exists outside of our dimension of space/time until a certain point. He is in our dimension of space now, but he is not in our dimension of time (as the sheikh will explain).

  • @ISMASHYOUBRO Short answer is no. He doesn't identify with that label, though he was taught by a great Sufi teacher.

    Nothing wrong with being Sufi... just ask Imam Ghazali.

  • @IfItIsAllahsWill Is IH a Sufi? Just wondering.

  • @imshabs in a hadith prophet muhammad (pbuh) told us that he is alive. his time not come yet. he has very long life, most probably he was alive in the time of past prophets.

  • @imshabs Dajjal is not only the physicall individual, it is also a socio-cultural phenomenon. All Prophets warned about the socio-cultural dajjal and only Muhammad sAws said dajjal is one eyed, therefore warning about the individual entity. Other Prophets nations still exist today and when dajjal appears, they might also reconise him so the warning of their Prophets may then lead them to Islam when FITNA (discord) of dajjal will appear... WA ALLAHU A3LAM, wa antum la ta3lamun.

  • may allah s.w.t protect us from this fitnah

  • dajjal did not appear in muhammad s.a.w. time but a man named saf ibn sayyad who was thought to be dajjal as he had many of his traits in both looks and ways,but he was not the!dajjal to come in the last days cause ibn sayyad had embraced islam the dajjal will be a young human born from amongst the pagan jews.

  • @farisfarooq In a nutshell...

  • @IfItIsAllahsWill agreed,he came into our dimension as the illuminati paved the way for his entrance and arrival. by making star gates and bla bla bla,look up for masonic geometry to understand star gates etcetra

  • Why does he always mentions university of Singapore ??..wass this held in Singapore ?

  • Salam aleykoum ! CAN you translate this séries in french please
