AbuBilaal Yakub
He began writing short stories, songs, and poems since childhood. With a love for graphic design, film-making, animation, and story-telling, he channeled his creativity and penned his first novel. After nearly ten years of working on his manuscript, he made his debut with The Amulets of Sihr, the first installment of an Epic Fantasy combining fact and fiction, controversy and concurrence, embedding some of his own experiences with the occult and unseen into a stunningly immersive anecdote.
His most recent publications include The One-Eyed Impostor, published in September 2022, and The Crucible of Abstinence published two months later, followed by a translation and commentary on Imam al-Ghazzali's Alchemy of Happiness in 2023.
AbuBilaal has a background in Arabic and English Linguistics, Islamic Philosophy and Logic, Islamic Epistemology, Islamic Eschatology, Islamic Psychology and Theology, among various other Islamic Sciences.
He has translated and written commentaries on various treatises, including Imam al-Ghazzali's Alchemy of Happiness, Imam al-Abhari's Introduction to Logic, and Ibn 'Ata'illah's Book of Wisdom.
