Peace be upon you. My name is Alex Shaikh.
I am a writer, podcast host, and believer who once stood at the edge of faith. I questioned everything. I searched for meaning in the noise of the world. But Allah guided me, and now I walk with purpose. My life is dedicated to sharing that light with others.
Enlighten About Islam is not just a website. It is a call to return to truth. It is for those who feel lost and those who are seeking something real. It is for those who were born into Islam but never truly understood it. And it is for those who are discovering Islam for the first time with open hearts.
I was born in Pakistan and raised in the United States. I have faced hardship. I have known what it feels like to have nothing. But even in the darkest moments, I never stopped looking for Allah. That search led me to something stronger than comfort. It led me to conviction.
Today, I use my voice, my story, and my platform to speak about the purpose of life. Islam is not a culture. It is not an opinion. It is the truth. Once that truth touches your soul, you begin to see life differently. You begin to live for something greater.
If you are reading this, you are not here by accident. Allah brings people to the truth in His own time. My hope is that this website helps you grow closer to Him, one step at a time.
May Allah guide us, forgive us, and accept our efforts.
