Dr. Salah Sharief is an entrepreneur, a student of knowledge, and the founder of Chaptrs, the first audiobook platform for Muslims.
He studied law at university, completing his Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD, before spending four years in Egypt studying Islamic knowledge.
His first business, Wordsmiths Press, was in translation and editing for Islamic publishers.
This expertise also led him to develop Sheikh Yasir Qadhi's renowned Seerah series into a comprehensive book.
