Biography

Overview

Shaykh Abdullah Faisal حفظه الله (may Allah hasten his release) is a Jamaican Shaykh from Montego Bay. He is a PhD graduate from the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

A fearless voice for the oppressed, a lion in the face of tyranny, and a scholar who never compromised the truth for comfort. He spoke what others feared, calling the Ummah back to its dignity, its strength, and its purpose. Whether you agree or not, his words stirred hearts, awakened minds, and ignited a fire for justice and Tawheed. A man who paid the price for speaking boldly — may Allah reward him for every truth he uttered and every soul he inspired.

Early Life & Education

Shaykh Abdullah Faisal was born in 1963 and raised in Jamaica. He embraced Islam at the age of 16. He studied Arabic and Islamic studies for one year in Guyana, South America, and then went on for further studies at the Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. There, he studied for eight years and graduated in 1991.

Among his Shaykhs are:

• Shaykh Abdul-Hakim Quick
• Shaykh Abdullah Tuwayjiree
• Shaykh Abdul-Wahab Tarairi
• Shaykh Ibn Jibreen
• Shaykh Naasir Umar

Trials & Stand for the Truth

He served several years in prison in England, and he is currently serving time in America — a heavy price paid for speaking the truth without compromise. Like the noble Sahaba who endured severe persecution for the sake of Allah, Shaykh Abdullah Faisal sacrificed his freedom, choosing to stand firm upon the truth rather than remain silent in the face of evil. He did not fear the oppressive tyranny of the kuffar, nor did he allow threats or imprisonment to silence his call to Tawheed and justice.

His imprisonment stands as a testimony to his unwavering commitment to the deen, even at the cost of his own liberty, openly exposing the wicked scholars who cement the throne of their kaffir paymasters, refusing to compromise the truth for worldly gain, calling on Jihad to defend the pride of Muslims who suffer.
