In 2001, after earning his Bachelor of Sharia (Honours) from Mu’tah University, Jordan, Hasrizal became the first Minister of Religion at Belfast Islamic Centre, Northern Ireland, a role supported by the Al-Maktoum Foundation, UAE. This position allowed him to blend his academic background with religious leadership. He later pursued postgraduate studies in learning sciences and educational entrepreneurship in Oulu, Finland. His work with the Khalifah Education Foundation in Malaysia has significantly enhanced the Khalifah Model Schools, focusing on character education. Appointed to the National Education Policy Review Committee by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (2018–2019), Hasrizal has authored 28 books, many of which became bestsellers. Despite challenges, including five unfinished theses due to undiagnosed ADHD, he views his diagnosis in 2021 as a strength that fuels his productivity. He currently resides in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, and is pursuing a Master’s Degree in Education (Diversity and Inclusion) at the School of Education, Trinity College Dublin.
