Abdurrahim Green

Lanky, blonde, green-eyed, Abdurraheem Green appears to be a character straight out of the Hollywood movie "Ben Hur". He was born to British parents in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in 1964. He attended a famous Roman Catholic monastic school called Ampleforth College and proceeded to study history at the University of London. He was dissatisfied with Christianity since the age of eight, and was practicing Buddhism for nearly three years, though he never formally accepted it. After reading the Quran, he embraced Islam in 1988, and has since been a very active da‘iyah (caller to Allah). Presently, he is working with an Islamic media company based in England and is involved in da’wah activities including lectures on Islam in London’s famous Hyde Park, where he is well known for his efforts at the “Speaker’s Corner”.
