BIO:
Yusuf Estes was born to Joseph Edward Estes and his wife, Ruth Lois Burger in Cleveland, Ohio in February of 1944. They moved to Texas in December of 1949. Yusuf (nicknamed Skip in later years) was actually a businessman and a missionary type preacher before entering into Islam in July of 1991. He changed his name to Yusuf after becoming Muslim. Yusuf studied various religious cults along with Metaphysics, numerology and astrology in the early 1960s. He also has background and degrees in business, education and English language. Prior to entering Islam, his studies ranged from music to marketing and religion to theology. His knowledge of Islamic thought, Christian concepts and Biblical background are well established. However, he does not claim to be an expert in ancient texts and manuscripts. He can however, be considered most reliable with regard to presentation of Islam into simple English language. Well known scholars from many Muslim countries have endorsed his projects and referred to him as most excellent in his presentations. He is well known for his dedication to presenting the correct view of Islam, Christianity and Judaism and he does work constantly to improve his understanding by sitting with and taking instruction from the people of knowledge. Sheik Yusuf has been known to travel all around the world to places like Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabi, Kuwait, Bahrain, India, Sweden, Denmark, U.A.E. and Pakistan just to ask questions and take references from the scholars there.
