Dr Muhammad Saeed

Dr Muhammad Saeed is an educator, researcher and careers guidance professional with many years of experience in education, guidance and personal development. He holds a Doctorate in Education and an MSc in Careers Guidance from UK universities. Much of his professional work has involved helping people reflect on where they are, understand their circumstances, make informed decisions, set meaningful goals and turn reflection into practical steps towards change.

Alongside his professional work, he has developed a personal interest in Islamic teachings on the heart and its purification. This led him to consider how approaches used in education and personal development, including structured self-assessment, reflective learning, real-life scenarios and action planning, could help Muslims engage more practically with established Islamic teachings.

This approach shaped A Pure Heart? The Qur’an, Sunnah and recognised classical and contemporary Islamic works provide the religious foundation of the book, while his professional experience has helped shape the way these teachings are organised and presented. Through structured self-assessments, reflection, everyday scenarios and personal commitments, the book helps readers recognise spiritual diseases and reflect on how they may appear in their intentions, thoughts, emotions, words and actions.

He approaches the subject as a seeker of knowledge, continuing to reflect on what he learns and seeking to apply it in his own life. Through A Pure Heart?, he hopes to make established Islamic teachings on the heart more accessible and practical for Muslims seeking purification and a closer relationship with Allah SWT.
