Convert to Islam, Paul was born in 1942. He was brought up during the 1940s and 50s in a conservative, upper-middle-class, Anglo-Catholic family. He belonged to the last generation that was educated to serve an empire which, however, was in the final stages of dissolution.

A born organiser, Paul was producing plays as a teenager, and in his 20s set up and ran the pioneering Signals Gallery which promoted kinetic art. However, on another scale altogether was his creation of the World of Islam Festival of 1976. Opened by Her Majesty the Queen, this was the largest and most comprehensive cultural event of its kind ever to have taken place in London. Following this success, Keeler initiated and was engaged with various projects relating to Islamic civilisation, traditional culture and the environment, the greening of inner cities and the interaction between cultures and civilisations in the pre-industrial age.

At the age of 70, Keeler finally yielded to a friend’s insistence that he should make available to others the knowledge he had gained from such a rich life, by writing a book. The result was Rethinking Islam and the West: a New Narrative for the Age of Crises, a work which questions the modern world’s obsession with progress, and proposes that the true criterion for judging the success of a civilization should be that of mizan or balance. This principle makes it possible to see the history of Islam and the West in an entirely new light.

Peter Sanders was born in London in 1946. He started his professional career as a photographer in the mid-1960s, photographing the biggest stars in the music business, including Bob Dylan. Towards the end of the 1970s, Sanders‘ attention turned inward, his spiritual quest led him to India and then finally to the Muslim world, where the spiritual beauty of Islam left an indelible impression on him. When he returned to England, he converted to Islam. For Peter Sanders, belief and photography were both involved in his spiritual development. It was his attempt to grasp the essence of reality that led him to Islam and to the door of the Kaaba with the camera in hand. From capturing the music industry’s most famous idols to the holiest places in the Islamic world, Peter Sander’s journey involves more than just changing the focus of his camera lenses.
