Ashaari Mohammad

Ashaari Mohammad

Haji Ashaari Mohammad is a spiritual leader who started Al-Arqam, an Islamic organisation in Malaysia. The organisation has since been banned by the government because of the deviation from the mainstream Islam.

Ashaari is nicknamed "Abuya" ("father" in Arabic) by his followers, he wears a turban, green Al-Arqam rope, and mascara-lined eyes. He is approximately 70-year old, wealthy, and has four wives and 37 children. He gained notoriety in Malaysia when his Islamic sect, called Al-Arqam was banned for being heretical.
