The role of stories in the human experience has been evident throughout the ages. It may be due to the characteristics they embody, such as their powerful methods of teaching, easing the retention of information in one’s memory, or exemplifying lessons more profoundly. The Qur’an reveals the truth eloquently as it, too, relays through stories. Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki shows how the Qur’an and the Hadeeth of the Prophet (s) are filled with stories from which humankind may gain valuable lessons.
Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki brings to life stories from the golden era of Islam in a dynamic style and instills in the listeners a deep love for Allah (swt) and His Messenger (s).
He was born in New Mexico, USA. His parents are from Yemen, where he lived for eleven years and received the early part of his Islamic education. He has served as an Imam in Colorado, California, and Washington, DC.
Anwar Al-Awlaki was Imam at George Washington University. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, a M.A. in Education Leadership from San Diego State University and was working on a Doctorate in Human Resource Development at George Washington University.
