Islamic and Secular Education
After completing his secular education in England, he decided to migrate to the Middle East in pursuit of Islamic knowledge and spirituality. Throughout his years of studying Islam in Syria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, he has received personal recognition and authorizations (ijazah) with a traceable chain of narration back to the Prophet Muhammad in numerous books of Hadith from scholars in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa.
His strong desire to learn the 'beneficial' knowledge as described by the Prophet Muhammad coupled with his belief that one should gain from all scholars irrespective of their Islamic partisanship, has allowed him to study under some of the world's leading scholars in their respective fields of Islamic Sciences, including, among others: Dr. Mohammed Said Ramadan Al Buti (Syria), Shaikh Thanaullah Khan Madni (Pakistan), Dr. Wahba Zuhayli (Syria), Allamah Abdul Wakil bin Abdul Haq Al Hashmi (Makkah), and Sheikh Abdur Razzaq Halabi (Syria).
Works
He has authored numerous articles on Islam and society that have been published in the national press and popular magazines throughout the Middle East, as well as appearing in various TV programmes addressing matters related to Islam, inter-faith dialogue, human rights and extremism. Professionally, Imam Daniel is a Cambridge University credentialed language specialist currently lecturing in Kuwait.
Tolerance and Outlook
Stemming from his belief that one should co-exist peacefully with others, Imam Daniel refrains from aligning himself to any particular sect of Muslims, instead seeking to benefit from all rightly-guided people. He is against separatism and hopes to see unity amongst the Muslim ranks. Originally from London, he has visited over 25 countries in four continents, spreading the message of Islam, peace And Co-existence.
