Timothy John Winter (born 15 May 1960), also known as Abdal Hakim Murad (Arabic: عبد الحكيم مراد), is an English Islamic scholar and theologian who is a proponent of Islamic neo-traditionalism.[6][7] His work includes publications on Islamic theology, modernity, and Anglo-Muslim relations,[8][9] and he has translated several Islamic texts.
He is the Founder and Dean of the Cambridge Muslim College,[10] Aziz Foundation Professor of Islamic studies at both Cambridge Muslim College and Ebrahim College,[11] Director of Studies (Theology and Religious Studies) at Wolfson College[12][13] and the Shaykh Zayed Lecturer of Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Divinity at University of Cambridge.[14][15][16]
