Founder and project lead

Sikander Sultan FCA

Professional discipline, publishing ambition and a commitment to completing work of lasting public value.

Professional Business Adviser Inventor Author Keynote Speaker Technology Enthusiast

Sikander Sultan FCA brings together the discipline of an ICAEW Chartered Accountant, the perspective of a professional business adviser and the curiosity of an author, inventor, keynote speaker and technology enthusiast. His public profile reflects experience with EY and KPMG in London and a substantial publishing portfolio across business, finance and technology.

QuranOfficial is the clearest expression of that combination. Before seeking public support, he privately funded and led the completion of the English translation of Mafatih al-Ghayb. What began as an extraordinary publishing undertaking is now becoming an enduring platform through which the great works of Quran Tafsir can reach readers in the languages they understand.

His purpose is practical: complete difficult work, publish it responsibly and build a transparent path for translators, reviewers, sponsors and readers to carry the mission forward together.
