Muhammad S. Adly Biography

Shaykh Muhammad S. Adly was born in Egypt in 1949 from the tribe of Juhayynah.

He taught for a period in the Holy Mosque in Makkah before migrating to the United States in 1975. In the US, Shaykh Adly established his primary region of operation in the Tri-State area and later South Carolina. He held several prominent positions, including Imam in Brooklyn, NY, a school principal, and a representative for the Muslim World League.
