Imam Zaid Shakir
Zaid Shakir
is amongst the most respected and influential Islamic scholars in the West. As
an American Muslim who came of age during the civil rights struggles, he has
brought both sensitivity about race and poverty issues and scholarly discipline
to his faith-based work. Born in Berkeley, California, he accepted Islam in
1977 while serving in the United States Air Force. He obtained a BA with honors
in International Relations at American University in Washington D.C. and later
earned his MA in Political Science at Rutgers University. While at Rutgers, he
led a successful campaign for disinvestment from South Africa, and co-founded a
local Islamic center, Masjid al-Huda. He is a frequent speaker at local and
national Muslim events and has emerged as one of the nation's top Islamic
scholars and a voice of conscience for American Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
