Ustadh Dr. Asim Aqil is a Doctor by trade working as a GP having qualified from Manchester University. However, his passion is the history of Islam. His natural interest in the topic has led him to embark on several courses on Islamic History with various professors of history and Islamic Scholars. His own reading and research has led him to travel to various places  in the world such as Central Asia, Turkey, Spain, Egypt and Palestine in order to experience the deep Islamic past these regions possess. He has produced his own documentaries on the topic which he shares on his own YouTube channel “Tareekh Trekker”. Most recently, he has been lecturing at several venues in the North West on the history of the Palestine Question. He has a deep belief that history informs identity and helps shapes a person’s meaning, role and focus in the world, and wishes Muslims can benefit from the history of Islam in the same way he has.
