Mohammed Hijab (Arabic: محمد حجاب; born October 5, 1991) is a British writer, public speaker, and Islamic philosopher.[2] Hijab [3]preaches a conservative interpretation of Islam, making him a controversial figure.[4][5] He is also a specialist in the Kalaam

Early life and education[edit]

Hijab[6]was born in St Mary's Hospital in London to a family from Alexandria, Egypt on October 5, 1991.[7][8][2] His great-grandfather, Sayyid Ahmed Hijab, was a descendant of Moroccan islamic scholar Abdulaziz Dabbagh.[9][10]

Hijab failed to attain a qualified teacher status after being fired following his attendance at a counter-protest against far-right activist Tommy Robinson.[11]

Career[edit]

Hijab [12]has worked as a tutor and freelancer.[11] He was a trainee teacher at Harris Academy Rainham prior to his termination after stating that he would "fight and die" in attending a freedom of speech rally in Whitehall.[2][13][14] Hijab [15]is the Co-Founder of Sapience Institute, Academic Co-ordinator for Islam Net.

Mohammed Hijab[16] has been invited on Channel 4, BBC and ITV. One of his notable appearances was on Piers Morgan Uncensored for his Pro-Palestinian views.[17] Hijab is mainly known for his online debates and social media presence. One of his most popular debates was with David Wood, an anti Islamic christian apologist. [18][19]

Personal life[edit]

Hijab [20]has been married since 2011 and has children.[11][2]

Controversies[edit]

Leicester Unrest[edit]

Hijab[21]had gained attention, particularly in the context of clashes between Indian and Pakistani communities in the UK, where he has been featured in videos on social media making controversial and inflammatory remarks about the Hindu community. In these videos, he [22]is seen making derogatory comments about Hindus and making false claims regarding the clashes, including suggesting that Muslims were assaulted. Mohammed Hijab's statements have been met with criticism, with some individuals in the crowd during one of his speeches labeling him as an "inciter" and expressing concerns that his words could worsen the situation.[23]
