Meet the Authors
Essam Aljawf & Abdessalaam Al-Alestini
Abdessalaam is a new Muslim exploring the basics of Islam while studying at Zad Academy and working to improve
his Arabic to better connect with the Qur’an. He shares what he’s learning in the hope it can
benefit others who are just beginning too.
Essam is trying to become a better student of knowledge, gradually building the habit of turning to
our faith’s sources for answers and insight. Through his writing and research, he hopes to make
Islam easier to understand and more relatable — especially for those just starting their journey.
We ask Allah to make this platform a source of good and ease for everyone. May He help us
all remain steadfast on the straight path, following in the footsteps of the Prophet ﷺ and
his companions.
