Nouman Ali Khan (born 1978) is an American Islamic scholar who founded the Bayyinah Institute for Arabic and Qur’anic Studies after serving as an instructor of ArabicatNassau Community College.[2][3] He has been named one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre of Jordan.[4][5]
Khan was born on May 4, 1978, in East Germany to a Pakistani Punjabi family and spent his preschool years in the former East Berlin.[6][7] His father then worked for the Pakistan Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Khan attended the Pakistan Embassy school from grades 2 to 8. He described living in Saudi Arabia at the time as a “very innocent society for children”.[8] His father moved the family to New York when Khan was in his teens. Khan struggled with his faith as a teenager and at one point identified as an atheist.[9]
He was previously married to Sofia Sharieff.[10]

In September 2017, Khan was involved in a sexting scandal and accused of spiritual abuse and "luring women into sexual relationships disguised as secret marriages".[11][12][13][14][15] Khan responded that the leaked text conversations were "between consenting adults" and that the women were marriage prospects, noting that he had been divorced for two years.[11]
Six eminent Muslim clerics and academics, led by Imam Mohamed Magid, began their own inquiry into the allegations and released a joint statement, asserting that Khan "had engaged in conduct unbecoming of any believer, much less someone who teaches about the Holy Qur’an."[16][17] Khan had attempted to prevent the release of the statement.[16]
Some women who spoke out against Khan faced significant backlash.[18]
