Dr. Naif Al Mutawa: From Mecca to Metropolis

After 9/11, I went to New York and had to convince people to let me create an Islamic superhero… 

(Dr. Naif Al Mutawa, TEDxDubai 10.10.09)

Idea worth spreading:

As a boy he liked to write. He received three Master’s degrees and a Doctorate and still didn’t know what he wanted to do when he grew up. So, he started writing again.

The creator of THE 99, Dr. Naif Al Mutawa’s organization has created dozens of superheroes representing countries and people all over the world! “We put a lot of hard work into this project, with a lot of luck along the way”.

With thousands of articles across the media about THE 99, the world is abuzz with positive talk about the characters and Islam.

Call to action:

Plan. Have vision. Execute.

Watch out world, THE 99 heroes are here to educate, entertain and tell a story to the world!

Bravo Dr. Naif Al Mutawa!
