Ustadz Mazdiuky | The Nusantara Books

This week, we dive into the inspiring story of Ustadz Mazdiuky — from growing up in Singapore to walking away from a conventional path to pursue Islamic scholarship. He opens up about his formative years studying in Kedah and Johor, life in humble pondok settings, and the profound impact of his teachers and spiritual mentors. Along the way, he also reflects on the legacy of his great-grandfather, whose unwavering faith left a deep impression.

In the second part of our conversation, Ustadz Mazdiuky recounts his time in Madinah and how it shaped his mission to preserve the wisdom of Malay-Muslim scholars. His journey led to the founding of Nusantara Books — a platform that brings classical Islamic texts to a new generation. Hear his thoughts on Arabic, spiritual growth, and the responsibilities of Muslims today, all rooted in the timeless guidance of prophetic tradition.
