I worked as a lecturer in Arabic language and culture at the University of Birmingham in the UK. I studied and specialized in phonetics and linguistics, and later taught both subjects. My areas of interest include Arabic linguistics, Islamic discourse, and language in the media. I also worked at the University of Westminster in London and at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. Additionally, I was a broadcaster, presenter, and program producer at the BBC. Among my books are “Sounds of Recitation in Egypt: A Phonetic Study,” “Qur’anic Arabic: A Short Introduction,” and “Kitab Al-Zina in Islamic and Arabic Words by Abu Hatem al-Razi: A Linguistic Study.” I also published an anthology of short stories titled “Haram Al-Marhoum – The Wife of the Late Husband” and other books.
