* Shaykha Halima Krausen was born in Aachen, Germany into a Catholic / Protestant family. She became Muslim in her early teens, eventually learning Arabic and travelling extensively in the Muslim world. In 1992, she completed her studies in Hamburg in Islamic Studies, Theology and Comparative Religion and continued to study with visiting scholars from the Muslim world, and most notably, with Imam Razvi, the leading scholar in Hamburg's Muslim community. Shaykha Halima has been active in building up a German-speaking Muslim community in Hamburg and beyond. Between 1984 and 1988 she was part of a team that produced a German translation of the Qur'an with commentary notes, and afterwards was also involved in translating some volumes of Hadith and Islamic law. In 1985, Shaykha Halima became a founding member of the Inter-Religious Dialogue Circle at the Department of Theology at Hamburg University. In 1993 she helped found the Initiative for Islamic Studies and succeeded Imam Razvi as the head of the German speaking community when he retired from active service. She teaches regularly in London and across Europe and is particularly interested in inter-faith dialogue.
