Dr. Sabrina Lei Biography

Converted to Islam some years years ago, Dr Sabrina Lei, an Italian writer and researcher, is one of the emerging Western Muslim scholars and cultural activists. After getting a thorough grounding in Latin and Greek, Dr Sabrina read philosophy at Rome’s La Sapienza University, and got her research degree in philosophy, working on Wittgenstein’s concept of time in his Tractatus Logico- Philosophicus in 2000. A few years later she went back to her academic research again, and got a PhD in ancient philosophy. Dr. Sabrina Lei. Currently working as Director of Tawasul, Centre for Research and Dialogue, has published almost a dozen books on Islam and related topics so far, including a study on the spiritual and medical benefits of Salat (Muslim Prayer) and the Italian translations of the works of some of the great Muslim scholars like Muhammad Al-Ghazzali, Muhammad Iqbal,

Dr Sabrina has recently completed the Italian translation of the classic and universally read 1934 English Quran translation of Abdullah Yusuf Ali. Also, recently, she has completed the first volume of her book into the life history of the Prophet (peace be upon him). This insightful study on the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is aimed at introducing the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his mission to Western non-Muslims and academics as the fulfilment of the true mission of the Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus (peace be upon them). Along with classical Muslim sources on the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the volume examines classical sources in Greek, Latin and Hebrew to reveal the natural continuity of the mission of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as the true completion of the earlier heavenly revealed religions.

Dr Sabrina argues for a mutually beneficial dialogue between the world of Islam and the West. And her long-term aim is to create a new Islamic discourse rooted in the humanistic principles of Islam, accepting the diversity of human experience, as manifested in today’s globalized world in the form of different religious and cultural discourses.
