Nouman Ali Khan (Punjabi: نعمان علي خان; born 1978) is an American Islamic speaker and the founder of the Bayyinah Institute for Arabic and Qur'anic Studies, an Arabic institute based in Irving, Texas. Born in East Germany to a Pakistani family, he grew up in Saudi Arabia and New York and later taught Arabic at Nassau Community College before founding Bayyinah in 2006. He is known for lectures on the Quran and classical Arabic, which have attracted a wide online following, and has spoken extensively on the challenges facing Muslim communities in the United States. In 2017, multiple women accused Khan of using his religious prominence to pursue inappropriate relationships, findings affirmed by two independent panels of Muslim clerics and academics. He has also faced criticism for discouraging the reporting of sexual abuse at a mosque where he served as board president.
