Bio

As well as learning about buildings, he also started to pay more attention to Islam and increasing his knowledge of the deen during this time. He has since studied under Ustadh Hassan Abu Taymiyyah and now spends much of his spare time trying to gain Islamic knowledge and passing it on. Idris has now joined his father and brother in the property development and investment family business and juggles this with his commitments as a husband and father of three young children.

Who We Are
One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom
Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.
At a time when there were limited faith-based resources to learn and teach Islam to the Muslim community in English, Afsar & Jamal-un-Nisa Siddiqui founded one of the first Islamic publishing houses in the UK. Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
