Imam Adil Khan is a distinguished scholar and A’sharah Qārī, recognized for his exceptional command of Qur’anic recitation and his depth in the classical Islamic sciences. Originally from Maryland, Imam Adil comes from one of the earliest Muslim families in America — his father, now 92 years old, migrated to the United States in 1958. Having witnessed the era of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, his father, himself a Dāʿī, would actively give daʿwah on the streets of America during that very same era.Imam Adil’s spiritual journey began in 1987, when he met Qari Abdul Basit (رحمه الله) and was profoundly moved after hearing his recitation. This meeting became a turning point in his life. After consulting with Qari Abdul Basit, he resolved to dedicate his life to the pursuit of Islamic knowledge. He later studied Qirā’at under Qari Muhammad Fathi al-Madhi (رحمه الله) of Al-Azhar University, further refining his mastery of Qur’anic recitation.In 1988, he enrolled at Darul Uloom Dewsbury (UK), a renowned seminary that later produced many prominent American scholars such as Imam Kashif (Islamic Center of Irving), Imam Nadim Bashir (East Plano Islamic Center), and Imam Azhar Subedar (Plano). His pursuit of sacred knowledge then took him to Darul Uloom Karachi, where he studied under Mufti Taqi Usmani and Mufti Rafi Usmani (رحمهما الله) — both of whom served as his mentors, teachers, and spiritual guides.Over the past several decades, Imam Adil has taught Tafseer, Hadith, and Fiqh in various institutes, guiding students through a balanced methodology that combines rigorous scholarship with spiritual refinement. His humility, precision in Qur’anic sciences, and deep love for the Deen have inspired countless students across the United States and abroad.Imam Adil Khan is the teacher of Shaykh Mikaeel Smith (Qalam), Mufti Wasim Khan (ISRA), and many other scholars around the world.He is married and blessed with four children. His daughter, Alimah Sarah Khan, and his son-in-law, Shaykh Mikaeel Smith, are both Islamic scholars who actively serve the Dallas and wider American Muslim community.Outside his academic and teaching work, Imam Adil enjoys hiking, nature, and hunting.Fun fact: Imam Adil played quarterback for his high school football team in Maryland.For more information: israfoundation.comhttps://www.instagram.com/israfoundation/ Visit us at ISRA HQ930 W.
