Summary
Adnan Rashid is a British Muslim historian and lecturer based in London, specialising in the history of Islamic civilisation and Islamic numismatics. He holds a BA with honours in history from Birkbeck College, University of London, and a master's degree from SOAS, and holds ijazas in hadith. 1 He runs his own YouTube channel of history lectures and debates. 2
Work
Rashid served as a senior researcher and lecturer with the dawah organisation iERA and has led dawah missions to Africa; he is a khateeb in a number of West London mosques and has debated high-profile Christian and atheist figures. 1 His official website presents him as a historian, bibliophile and numismatologist, and records his co-authored peer-reviewed research on the medals of Tipu Sultan's Mysore published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, together with the guided history tours he leads to al-Andalus and Ottoman sites. 3
Positions and faith
This section should be read as a presentation of what the sources give, not as a verdict of the museum.
No source consulted names a legal school or theological affiliation for Adnan Rashid personally. The profiles describe his hadith ijazas, his research and lecturing posts and his debates; teachers, chains of transmission and dawah posts are credentials, not a school attestation, so no faith value is recorded for him. 1 2
