Inna lilah wa inna ilayhi raje'oon. To Allah we belong and to Him we return. We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Shabbir Akhtar, an insightful scholar who published several papers with Yaqeen. We ask that you make du‘a for him and his loved ones, and continue to benefit from his work. Dr. Shabbir Akhtar is a philosopher trained at Cambridge University. He has published widely on pluralism and race relations in Britain and on Islam’s and Christianity’s differing responses to modern secularism.
