Seekers Circle is a place where we can all learn together, sharing our journeys, insights, and experiences.

Salaam, I'm Zahed, and I believe nurturing one’s relationship with God is a lifelong pursuit, ever evolving and evermore profound.

 

Through my work with Seekers’ Circle, I hope to improve the quality of my own relationship with Allah (SWT). If I also manage to help others, that would be amazing too!

 

Seekers’ Circle is a place where we can all seek together, sharing our journeys, insights, and experiences. I develop and deliver courses and modes of engagement that focus on traditional and reflective learning, encourage discussion, and lay the foundations for us to implement long-lasting positive change in our lives.

ABOUT ME

I hold a BA, MA in Mathematics and Computer Science from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.

I have published in academia, specialising in Computational Linguistics & AI applied to the Quran as part of PhD studies previously supported to Bayyinah.

I started my career in strategy consulting & investment banking and ran my own firm for over a decade, advising on high impact strategy for some of the world’s largest banks and corporations. Alongside this I have supported numerous charities and non-profits in a pro bono capacity.

In parallel, I received formal training in Islamic Studies (Dar Nizami & Madyafa at Azhar). Since then I’ve taken a specific interest in designing and delivering educational and transformative experiences to western students that aim to ‘translate the tradition’ in a manner that is both honest to our past and fruitful for our future.

Some of my courses have been delivered to tens of thousands of students via Ebrahim College as well other organisations here in the UK and abroad including the flagship ‘Awakening the Prayer’, Route 42 and Prophetic Success.

I am a father of two who has discovered a passion for minecraft, softplay and cooking for my kids. Although not as action-packed, I also enjoy fishing.

I am a proud Lutonian adopted by a family of warm Londoners.
