Dawud Adib was born in the USA and accepted Islam in 1975. Shortly thereafter – without a teacher - he began to learn the Arabic language and by 1977 he was the regular khateeb (preacher) at two local mosques in his hometown of Newark, New Jersey including the musalla (prayer hall) at the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry.  Dawud also served as Director of Islamic Studies from 1980 to 1985. While serving as the Director of a full time Islamic school he also taught grades pre-kindergarten through twelve.

He has worked as a chaplain in three state correctional institutions teaching Arabic language, Islamic studies and counselling both Muslims and non-Muslim inmates alike. He has delivered 1000s of lectures throughout the world including the Caribbean, North and South America (where he has delivered talks on both television and radio), Britain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Germany at civic centers, prisons, elementary, secondary and high schools, colleges, universities and churches.
