About this person
Born 5 September 1967, Amr Mohamed Helmi Khaled began as an accountant before pivoting to religious outreach, eventually becoming a television preacher who reached audiences across the Arab world and beyond. His style - clean-cut, modern, conversational - set him apart in a landscape often dominated by traditional clerics. By 2006, The New York Times Magazine was calling him "the world's most famous and influential Muslim television preacher" in English-speaking countries. A year later, Time named him one of the 100 most influential people on earth. His appeal rests on simplification: he offers viewers an easy entry into understanding Islam, no seminary required.
