Bio

I am a full-time professional certified freelance translator with specialist knowledge and experience in Islamic Finance
and Legal Translation. English is my native language.

I can translate all types of Arabic contracts, legislation, court judgments etc. into clear, precise, legally correct English. 

If you have an Arabic religious book or thesis, I can help you with the proper English rendition thereof.  

If you want your corporate communication, newsletter or website to have flawless and easy-to-read English, please let me show you what I can do. 


I graduated with a qualification in Islamic Studies, Arabic and Shariah in 2000 and have been translating, researching and teaching since. I also have a BA Hons (Cum Laude) in Semitic Languages and Cultures from the University of Johannesburg.
