Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammed
Sheikh Omar bin Bakri bin Mohammad was born in 1958 into an orthodox and wealthy family in the ancient Islamic city of al-Halab (Aleppo) Syria. From the age of five he was enrolled into al-Kutaab Islamic Boarding Schools, wherein he studied the Sciences of Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, Seerah and so forth. In his early adulthood, he continued his studies through Musahaba (companionship) with numerous noteworthy and respected Ulema of Ash-Shaam studying Usul al-Fiqh, Al-I’jaaz, Arabic Language, I’lm al-Khataba, I’lm al-Tassawuf, Fiqh and Ilm as-Seerah.
He then joined the Shari’ah Institute at Damascus University where he studied Fiqh and Shari’ah. Having completed his studies, obtaining a BA in Shari’ah and Usul al-Fiqh, he proceeded to Al-Azhar, Beirut where he began his studies in Shar’iah transferring to Al-Azhar, Cairo for completion. He obtained his MA in Fiqh ul-Madhaahib from the Imaam Uzaie University, Lebanon. In the early eighties, Sheikh Omar moved to Saudi Arabia, where he joined the Madrassah Al-Saltiyyah studying and completing a Diploma in Jami’ Al-Qur’an.
