ABOUT ME
I am a Pakistani, born and raised as a Muslim in Kuwait. I came to the United States after the Gulf War in 1992. That same year I had a supernatural experience with Christ that changed the course of my life. After graduating from the College of Charleston in 1998, I joined the pastoral staff of Seacoast Church. In 2006, with the help of Seacoast Church, ARC, my amazing wife Ashley, and several passionate people, we planted Mosaic Church in Charlotte, NC. I am the author of two books and speak often at conferences, churches and cooperate events. I am also a speaker coach for TEDx. I have two wonderful kids, Asher and Nurah, and unfortunately two cats.

BOOKS

Ex-Muslim, my first book, is my story.​
It is a deeply personal journey of leaving Islam and discovering the transforming power of Jesus. In its pages, I share how doubt, identity, and faith collided in unexpected ways, leading me from religion to relationship. This story has resonated far beyond what I imagined, and I’m humbled that Ex-Muslim has since been translated into multiple languages, reaching readers across the world. Read more here.

Tomorrow Needs You, is my New book.
​In these pages, I share stories, struggles, and moments of clarity that have shaped my journey. This book was born out of a deep conviction that your life has purpose, even when it doesn't feel like it. I've walked through seasons of doubt, pain, and confusion. I’ve learned that God doesn't waste any of it.Tomorrow Needs You is my reminder that no matter what you're facing, you still have a future. And your presence in this world matters more than you know. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure of your place in the bigger story, this book is for you.
