Dr. Shehnaz Shaikh, MBBS, MD, fondly called Apa by those around, shares a special relationship with everyone, especially reverts. She has a versatile personality, and her life graph displays her grit, courage, creativity, and inclination to Islamic Education.

Even though Shehnaz Shaikh is a medical doctor with an MD, she considered herself an illiterate in the matters of deen when she became a Muslim by choice at the age of 32 years. Many of us are born into Muslim families and have Muslim names but are we Muslims? According to her, we become Muslim only when we accept Islam by choice.

Her journey to acquire Islamic knowledge began by understanding the Quran. Alhamdulillah, compiled the word-for-word English Translation of the Quran, which is available throughout the world. Free PDF downloads are available on emuslim.com. In addition, the work is available on many websites – islamicstudies.info, quranwbw.com, etc.
