Sara Khan was born in Stuttgart, Germany, before moving to the
UK at the age of 12. Fluent in German, Arabic and Urdu, Sara is both a
bestselling author and a qualified translator. She holds a first-class BA
(hons) in Linguistics and Arabic, as well as a MA in Translation and
Interpreting Studies both from the University of Manchester. As part of her
degree, Sara lived in Amman, Jordan, with her husband Naveed, and studied
Arabic at the University of Jordan. Living in Jordan enabled them to travel
across the Middle East and experience numerous Muslim cultures, traditions, and
historic sites in places such as Cairo, Damascus, Jerusalem, Madinah and
Makkah. Her postgraduate research focused on Qur’an translation and adaptation
for children. Now the proud mother of a little girl called Raya, Sara aims to
build upon her academic background and personal experience to help fill the gap
when it comes to presenting Islam to toddlers and young children in an
age-appropriate way.
