Biography

Dr. Haitham Talaat — Physician, Researcher, Preacher

An Egyptian physician specialized in refuting atheism, secularism, and comparative religion — author of over twenty books and hundreds of lectures and debates.

Dr. Haitham Talaat Ali Sorour — born in Asyut Governorate in 1981 — trained as a physician at Asyut University, then, after years of clinical practice, turned to near-full-time da'wah work and research on atheism, Darwinian evolution, secularism, and comparative religion. His discourse combines rigorous scriptural grounding with rational argument, addressed primarily to young Muslims encountering doubts in online spaces.

More than twenty published books — some translated into English and French — and an official YouTube channel with over 1.17 million subscribers, along with companion channels for highlights and shorts. He has delivered lectures and debates alongside various scholars, and his ideas have been discussed on television programs and in academic institutions across the Arab and Muslim worlds.
