About the Author

Asif Khan is a 27 year-old lecturer who lives in Watford in the UK.

His father studied Islamic Law at Lahore University, hence Asif was exposed to—and
acquired a great deal of knowledge about—the Islamic culture from a young age.
Asif studied many of the classical Islamic texts while he was growing up and has
continued to study the Islamic culture deeply. He has studied in some depth the
Islamic Ruling System, Social System, Economic System and various Islamic sciences
including the Islamic ‘aqeedah, usul ad-deen, usul al-fiqh, ijtihad and taqlid, ulum
al-hadith, mustilah al-hadith, tafsir and seerah. He is also a member of Hizb ut-
Tahrir.
He graduated in Chemistry from Brunel University where he was the president of
the Islamic society. He has held the position of Editor of Khilafah magazine, a
monthly Islamic publication that is produced in the UK and circulated worldwide.
He has also written papers dealing with modern political issues, such as
transforming the existing judiciary in Muslim countries to an Islamic judiciary, and
usooli issues such as understanding amr and qarinah in the shariah texts. Today he
continues to write extensively for Khilafah Magazine, Islamic websites and other
publications. He is currently authoring a book refuting the origins of Modernist
thought in the Islamic and western world, and continues to speak on many Islamic
subjects around the country.
