Founder's Profile

Dato' Haji Kamarudin Abdullah

DSPN, DJN, PKT, PJK

Born in 1968 in a Christian Catholic family, Dato' Haji Kamarudin had reverted to Islam in his teens, when he was as young as 18 years old after reading the Qur'an. 

He then began traveling the world, passionately gathering Islamic Knowledge and actively involved himself in dakwah to the Not-yet Muslims at all levels internationally, frequently engaged in dialogue with Christian missionaries, atheists, agnostics and other beliefs for more than 30 years.

Dato' Haji Kamarudin had studied under various Islamic scholars such as Ustaz Al-Hafiz Sheikh Abdul Hamid from Pakistan, the late Sheikh Ahmed Deedat and Sheikh Rafeek Hassen of South Africa, Dr. Abu Ameenah, Bilal Philips of Qatar, Dr. Zakir Naik of India, Dr. Fadel Soliman in Egypt and Dr. Danial bin Zainal Abidin from Penang.

Two of the greatest blessings Allah SWT gives to a Muslim is Imaan and the understanding of the religion of Islam.

Without them, we will truly be heading into the darkness!
