Biography
Philips was born on January 6, 1946 in Kingston ( Jamaica ), and grew up in Toronto ( Canada ), where he turned to Islam in 1972 (the book “ Islam, The Misunderstood Religion ” by Muhammad Qutb , the younger brother of Said Qutb, was of great importance to young Philips. After that, the purpose of his life was the search and transfer of knowledge about Islam in order to “Change the Muslim nation through an Islamic education.” He received religious education in Saudi Arabia. He was included in the list of “500 Most Influential Muslims” [1] .
In September 2014, Philips was detained in the Philippines in connection with allegations of extremism. Previously, he was expelled from Germany, the USA, Great Britain and Australia. Philips himself rejected all the accusations against him [2] .
