About the speaker

Born and brought up in Canton Bern, Ustadh Sanel has been involved in Islamic learning and teaching for nearly 15 years.

He was a co-founder of the Swiss Muslim Scouts before moving to Saudi Arabia to further his studies. His 7 year stay enabled him to graduate from the faculty of Usul ud-Din at the Islamic University of Medina and also to study with Islamic scholars in the Prophet’s Mosque.

Since his graduation, Ustadh Sanel has moved to the United Kingdom where he recently completed a Masters in Education and now works as a teacher and Deputy Head at an Islamic School.

He also lectures widely in both the UK and Switzerland on topics important to Muslims and the Muslim community.
