About the Founder
The founder of Shabab Al-Janneh Publications was born and raised outside of an Islamic country. Like many youth growing up in the West, he was influenced by a culture that often glorified materialism and questioned faith. In his early years, he drifted away from Islamic values, drawn instead toward the lifestyle and beliefs of those around him—many of whom believed that religion didn’t make enough sense.
But when life’s waves grew heavy, he found himself, metaphorically, in the middle of an ocean—without a boat, without strength to swim, and without direction. In that moment of helplessness, his heart turned to Allah (SWT). The All-Mighty answered his call, guiding him back to the path of truth. Through sincere tawbah (repentance), he made a promise to seek knowledge and live in a way that pleases The Lord of the Worlds.
What We Do
Shabab Al-Janneh Publications was born from a simple yet powerful idea—an idea first inspired by a lecture from Shaykh Dr. Usama Al-Atar. In that lecture, Shaykh Usama highlighted the lack of books written specifically for teenagers—books that present Islamic teachings in a way that’s clear, relatable, and relevant to their lives.
Motivated by this vision, we decided to take action for the sake of Allah (SWT). Recognizing we aren’t qualified to teach Islam, we chose to instead, transform the lectures of trusted scholars into accessible, thoughtfully written books for youth.
Each book begins with a lecture series we believe can deeply benefit young readers. We then request permission from the scholar to adapt it into a book under their authorship. The written work is not a word-for-word transcription, but rather an expanded explanation of the lecture’s message—enhanced with authentic narrations, verified sources, and supporting insights.
Because accuracy and trust are at the heart of our mission, every information that we add ourselves is reviewed by qualified sources to confirm the reliability of the content. Once approved, it is presented to the scholar for final authorization before publication.
Our Mission
At Shabab Al-Janneh Publications, our mission is simple: to guide the next generation with knowledge that is easy to understand, rooted in faith, and relevant to their lives. Through our books and online content, we strive to teach and remind youth of the importance of seeking knowledge, and of using this short time in dunya to prepare for the everlasting life of the akhira.
